Kenmore model #78572

I can find this information for you but I need to know the exact model number for your oven. Like...Kenmore Elite Gas Oven, model number...blah, blah, blah. Thanks!

Check this out:
Kenmore Elite Oven error code F15

Many Kenmore manuals are available from the Manage My Life site: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals?intcmpMMHxG_HomexServices_Menu .

You will need the model number - there are over 9,000 ovens that come up when you search Kenmore Ultra bake self-cleaning super capacity oven. Most of the Kenmore ovens have the model and serial numbers on the front frame. (Left front of the frame on the lower oven on a dual oven model - just open the door and the panel should be visible.)

I hope this helps.

you can go to www.searspartsdirect.com . and input your model numver to view the exploded parts diagram.it is sometimes diffcult to give great advise with out visually looking at the machine

dont use it may blow you up bad gas valve and saftey sender

It appears your door lock mechanism has failed in this instance.

First - unplug the unit for 40 minutes and re-try.

For replacement parts - head on over to PartSelect.com or RepairClinic.com and enter in your full model number for a full parts listing.
I recommend both sites because ...


FixYa has no affiliation with either site - I have been using and recommending them for years - trouble free.

PartSelect has a great schematic database for locating the part on your unit and great "testimonials" for each part that often times includes HOW-TO information.
RepairClinic has pictures of each part they sell and also a great how-to and troubleshooting for basic repairs.


If your unit has never been serviced - there should still be an original service manual enclosed in plastic taped to the inside of the shell.
In the service manual are Error codes, maintenance procedures, and troubleshooting steps you can follow.


Anything too complicated or beyond your scope should be handled by a professional.

If you think you want to tackle the repair - and have gotten stuck on a step - reply to your question and I will be glad to help you out.





Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

bad clock

under the floor of the oven, possibly can be see by removing the bottom drawer. the ignitor is hte most common aprt to go bad in any gas oven, visually it might not even look broken though and some even appear to glow(just not strong enough to open gas valve

Disconnect for 30 seconds - if display reappears - replace control board. You either have a Shorted keypad, a Analog to Digital Failure, or a Safety flip flop. In any case all of these problems require a control board replacement. A defective control board is the only reason for an F1 code.

sounds like you knocked a wire off something, theres1 module problably behind unit that controls all the clicking for entire stove, i would check there first
