F2:E1 None of the controls on my oven work. All I get is a code that reads F2:E1. I have no clue what this means and the mannual has no information on this. In the mean time my control pannel is completely locked up and I can't use my oven. Do you have any idea what this means?

The F2-E1 error code indicates a problem with the oven's key panel. To fix this error, first, try unplugging the oven for 30 seconds to reset the control board. If this does not work, check for any debris, such as food or grease, that may be blocking the keypad. If there is debris, clean it off. If the problem persists, you should contact a certified technician for assistance.

Check the ribbon cable for connection

F2 - E1
Keypad cable unplugged
1.
Check keypad connector for firm connection (keypad connects to control
board).
2. Press CANCEL. If error code returns after 60 seconds, replace
keypad (also called touch pad or membrane switch). Some models incorporate
keypad in to control board as one unit. In this case, replace control board
(also called ERC or clock).

KitchenAid ovens are popular for their classic design and simple user interface. When a problem occurs in the function of a KitchenAid oven, an error code will display on the clock as soon as the malfunction registers in the oven's memory. Each code corresponds to a particular type of malfunction. Most can be corrected by disconnecting the power supply for one minute and then restarting. If the code persists, either replace the indicated part or contact a service center. F0/F1

The F0 and F1 codes refer to electrical issues. If the code appears as only two digits, the problem is a transistor failure, so you must replace the electronic range control (ERC). If the code displays four digits, it will read F0-E0, which indicates a failure switching from analog to digital, or F1-E1, which refers to a safety flip-flop. Both problems require the replacement of the ERC.

F2/F3/F4

The F2, F3 and F4 codes refer to problems with the oven temperature sensor or the keypad. If you see the two-digit F2 code, it means your keypad has shorted and the ERC must be replaced. The four-digit F2-E0 code means that the oven temperature is too high. Test the door lock and the relay operation, and correct as necessary. A two-digit F3 code means an open temperature sensor or thermal fuse, so those parts must be replaced. A four-digit F3-E0, F3-E1, F3-E2 or F3-E3 code or a two-digit F4 code means that either the oven is registering as too hot or the temperature sensor has shorted. Either way, the oven temperature sensor must be replaced.

This is not exactly a solution, but it does explain what F2:E1 means. According to this page, it is a control panel malfunction. It may be caused by a shorted wire, but it may just be the control panel malfunctioning on its own.

F2-E1 - Touch Pad (Keypad) Cable Unplugged -
Check the connection between the touch pad (keypad) and control board (clock) to make sure it is secure.
Select the 'cancel' function and wait 60 seconds.
If error code reappears then replace the touch pad, or touch pad and control board (clock) if all one assembly.

It appears your timer/clock has failed in this instance.

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.
