CHANGING THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD
Good Afternoon friend, thank you for your post!
I see that you are having some difficulty with your Frigidaire range displaying a 2:30 and cutting off. This sounds like a wiring issue or a control panel problem within your range. I would recommend performing a reset and you can do that by disconnecting power to your range by flipping the household circuit breaker and leaving it off for roughly ten minutes. If that does not help to resolve the issue I would suggest having a professional technician come out and accurately diagnosis your range. Best of luck! -Matt
SOURCE: the touch pad panel on stove is blank
on the ge range, you need an ERC its the main control for the oven. yes its costly. comes in a kit with a new wire harness
SOURCE: frigidaire oven will not heat up
here is a list of error codes that may or may not be displayed by the oven.
Frigidaire Range / Stove / Oven Fault Codes
Failure Code
Fault Code Description
Solution
F0
Electronic oven control failure
Replace electronic oven control (also called EOC or clock).
F1
Electronic oven control failure
Replace electronic oven control (also called EOC or clock).
F2
Oven temperature too hot
Check and replace oven temperature sensor (RTD).
F3
Open oven temperature sensor (RTD)
Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control.
Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.
F4
Shorted oven temperature sensor (RTD)
Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control.
Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.
F5
Electronic oven control failure
Replace electronic oven control (also called EOC or clock).
F6
Electronic oven control failure
Replace electronic oven control (also called EOC or clock).
F8
Oven door lock failure
Check lock relay and door switches.

Further inspection found that the ribbon got damaged during the re-instalation of the clock board. A new front control board had to be ordered and installed.

I believe the oven it has a power surge protector within the appliance. Try to unplug it and plug it back in. It should solve the problem.

Here is some wisdom for understanding F1 fault codes.
In some models, there are subcodes that make diagnosis even easier.
Here's a simple explanation of what's going on and how to troubleshoot:
The F1 code indicates that:
a. The electronic range control (ERC) is sensing heat in the oven when in a time-of-day (i.e., not cooking) mode.
b. The ERC is receiving information to run multiple heat functions simultaneously.
Although different components (depending upon the model) could generate the code, simple and straightforward testing using your ohm meter is all you gotta do to test for it.
1. Check the oven temperature sensor. The oven sensor has to be within spec or it will cause the F1 code.
As an example of being out-of-spec, the ERC will generate an F1 fault code when the sensor shows 1650 ohms during a time-of-day mode.
This is equivalent to 350°F in the oven.
The resistance isn't high enough to generate an F2 code (runaway temp) or an F3 or F4 code (shorted/open sensor circuit).
The ERC monitors the sensor circuit after a heat cycle and expects the resistance to drop back to 1050-1100 ohms.
The fault code is generated when this doesn't happen. Checking the sensor circuit means also checking the harness,
harness connections and the sensor itself.
2. If the oven sensor circuit checks okay, then turn your inquisitive eyeballs to the touchpad.
If the range has a separate touchpad/keyboard, the keypad may have moisture that is shorting several circuits simultaneously.
If the F1 code is given immediately (instead of during or after a heat cycle),
remove the ribbon connector from the touchpad to the ERC after clearing the F1 code. If the F1 code does not return in five minutes,
then cast a suspicious gaze upon the touchpad/keyboard. Shorts may be caused by using an ammonia-based glass cleaner.
The touchpad surface will absorb ammonia-based cleaners that are sprayed directly on the glass surface. When heat is applied,
the surface material can break down causing shorts.
If you're gonna use ammonia-based cleaners on your control panel, then you should spray it on the rag and then wipe the touchpanel
-don't spray directly onto the surface of the touchpad.
3. On Amana ranges with a rotary temperature dial, be sure that the knob is in the OFF position when performing tests.
4. If these tests all check good, then replace the ERC.

Good Morning Paul, thank you for your post!
Based off what you have described your Frigidaire range, PLES389DCC, is providing you with an error code of "PF" and "F1" as soon as you turn it on. An error code of "PF" stands for power failure this could be a possible problem with your control panel or power cord.
The error code "F1" stands for a runaway temperature (overheating). This could be an issue with your RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) or the EOC (Electronic Oven Control). I would recommend performing a reset on your oven and you can do that by disconnecting from your oven for ten minutes. If you continue to have issues with the "F1" error code I would recommend having a professional technician out to your home for proper diagnosis and replacement of any electrical components. Hopefully this information has been helpful. -Matt
