We had an electrical storm last night and the power flashed off and back on my stove started making a beeping noise and flashing fi on the temp screen nothing was on it was the midle of the night i had to turn the braker off to get it to stop beeping this is a gallery series stove can you tell me what might have happened

no pc told. at all, sad.
turn on monitor last, see no signal error means PC is dead.
lightening hit damage is unlimited
only pulling AC line cord protect them all, I do so here.

How to test many brands of Ranges that are flashing a F1 fault code: You have either a bad ERC (clock) or a bad touch pad.

1. Disconnect power to stove
2. Gain access to the back of the clock (electronic range control or ERC).
3. Unplug the touch pad ribbon connector from the ERC. This will be a flat wire approx. 1 1/2" to 2" wide.
4. Make sure everything is clear and will not short out when power is turned back on.
5. Turn power back on to stove.
6. Watch for the F1 and listen for the beep.
7. If you get the F1 and beep, replace the ERC.
8. If after approx. 30 minutes you do NOT get the F1 and hear the beep, replace the touch pad.
   NOTE: Some models incorporate the touch pad and the clock as one part. * We have seen a few of the newer Maytag ranges with a F1 fault code and the problem was the oven temp sensor, check carefully the wires to and from the oven temp sensor!!

The range/stove fault code page....
My Range is flashing a "F" something.....what does this mean??

Some terms used on this page...ERC - Electronic Range Control. Watchdog - a combination of hardware and software which acts as an internal scheme, disconnecting the systems output from the process in the event of a malfunction. Oven temperature sensor - What a common sensor or temp sensor looks like.


Always remember Electricity is dangerous and should be treated with respect.
Please pick a topic by Make and or problem...hope you find this helpful :-)
A tip for the famous F1 fault code The biggest Fault Codes list that I am aware of! What does an oven temp sensor look like?Some info and tips on oven temp sensors
Newer 4 digit fault codes - Maytag, JennAir, Magic Chef Newer Frigidaire fault codes Some newer GE built in oven fault codes are here. Newest Hamilton built GE clock fault codes are here. I have some of my own hand written fault codes, here and some more here. The Maytag Gemini range fault codes are on this page. The Maytag Accellis range codes are on this page. A tip:The supplier recently reversed the display areas for the clocks. Therefore you may find an F1-E0 code or E0-F1 code depending on the model. They both mean the same thing, and depending on the model determines the code reference, and location of the F code. Different manufacturer of the clocks caused this.

Solution - A service man came over and he took off the back of the central part of the stove and there is a small motor there and he removed it and turned the long metal rod that locks the stove and turned it so it would unlock the stove. He then replaced the motor with a new one. This will cost me some money but just finding the way the door locked was good to know.

hello there:
Please read this carefully and follow the tips and this will help you find out what is exactly the problem ok

WE used the broil button last night and our stove started beeping nonstop.It also say F1 three hrs of beeping we unpluged it for the night.When we turned it back on today same thing happened with the beeping and F1.hOW CAN WE FIX THIS?

The F1 error code indicates a control board failure. You need to replace the electronic control board. Good Luck Please rate

There are some recalls on this unit. Call microsoft for help.

Christina, FC means there is a communication error between your main power board and keyboard. There is a J2 harness that runs between them. You might try to reseat this harness. If that doesn't work the main board will have to be replaced. Catriver..post back.
