Old Magic Chef wall oven (model 9875-5XRB), constantly beeps and displays the F1 error code. I have replaced the touch pad once before. Is that the only solution?

The F1 error code means that the computer thinks a button on the touchpad is stuck. Sometimes this can be resolved by making sure the touchpad connector fits tight into the control board. The F1 code can be cleared by pushing CANCEL/OFF. If it returns the touchpad needs to be replaced

F1 Defective touch pad or clock (ERC) Replace touch pad or clock (ERC). Touch pad is a more common problem. Refer to F1 test at the top of this page for more information. F3 or F4 Shorted or 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.

on maytag's a F1 means defective touch pad or control board. google your ovens model number codes.

F0 Function key stuck Replace touch pad or if touch pad is part of the clock, replace the clock (ERC).

Hi gwhiz03,

If you are having error code F1 with your Jenn-Air double wall oven this is because you have a defective touch pad or clock (ERC). This simple test will help determine whether the ERC (Electronic Range Control or Clock) or the touch pad is defective when F1 error code is present.

Note: Some models incorporate the touch pad in to the ERC as a single assembly, in which case this test is not necessary. Simply replace the ERC (Clock).

Warning: If you feel in any way uncomfortable performing this test or making this repair, please contact a qualified appliance repair technician.

1. Disconnect power to the range (unplug the range power cord or turn the power off to the range at the circuit breaker). It is very important that the power to the range has been disconnected, so please double check before continuing.
2. Gain access inside the control panel.
3. Disconnect the touch pad (also called keypad or membrane switch) ribbon from the ERC.
4. Make sure there are no lose wires, or anything else that may cause a short when power is turned back on. Assemble the control panel back the way it was.
5. Turn the power back on.
6. Wait for at least one hour to see if the F1 code comes back (usually accompanied by a beeping sound).
7. If F1 comes back, replace the ERC. If it does not, replace the touch pad.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

F1 means defective touch pad or ERC. Turn off the power to the range. Get to the ERC. If the pad and the ERC are incorporated, replace it. If not disconnect the touch pad ribbon from the ERC. Make sure there are not loose wires. Assemble the control panel back. Turn the power on. If F1 comes back - replace the ERC. If not -replace the touch pad. Good luck.

f1 indicates a shorted touch pad ,if you want to make sure ,unplug unit ,disconnect touch pad from computer board ,if f1 goes away touch pad is bad.if not replace board

The F1 code is a defect touch pad or membrane

An F1 usually suggest a defective touch pad (The keys get stuck sometimes because long use or "over pressing" or poking it with things like knives and such). If its a unit with seperate touch pad and clock (controller) changing the touch would be enough othewise the whole controller has to be replaced. You did not give a model number so not able to give an exact price. But it should be in the region of $120 - 230 depending on the model you have

the burners on my magic chef stove work but the flame is not as high as it should be on one burner. I switched the top of the burner with another and it did not solve the problem.
