Kitchen Aid Range purchased 1/06. Had to replace (very expensive over $350) the touchpad in 1/08. Now it's 6/08 and the touchpad is not working again - most buttons works but the off button doesn't so you have to throw the breaker to turn off stove. Ever heard of that? I am having the same problem with my oven controls. All other functions work properly. The only way I can turn off the oven, though, is to unplug the unit for a couple seconds.

Check to be sure that the unit did not trip the breakers. If the breakers are good, you will need to replace the control board. Here is the part to order.

The part comes with a 365 day, any part, any reason return policy.

F1-E0 = EEPROM communication error



1. Disconnect power for at least 30 seconds.
2. Re-apply power and observe for at least one minute.
3. If code re-appears, replace control board (also called ERC or clock). If you bought this control board used I am afraid it is bad. That error is only for a bad control board.
Here is a new board you may purchase. It is a little expensive but the supplier has a 365 day, any reason, any part return policy and you can be certain that you have a quality part.

Unplug the unit and wait 2 FULL MINUTES before plugging it back in. That will reset the circuit board and you should be good to go. If it doesn't work, my bad!!!!!!

Well it sounds like it is either the control key pad or the ERC(control module) is defective. The first thing you will need to verify is the condition of the ribbon cable that goes from the control pad to the ERC. You will need to unplug the range from the electrical outlet and then remove the back panel of the range. Now inspect the ribbon cable for any visible defects to it. Sometimes the cable will arc across itself and cause a short. Inspect each one of the lines(wires) on the ribbon cable and make sure they are not shorted. Now check to make sure the cable is found properly seated. If it is found loose or mis-aligned then remove and re-install it properly. You can also use a pencil eraser to clean the contacts on the ribbon cable while you have it dis-connected. Also verify that the wiring harness is properly seated and there is voltage going to the ERC. Hopefully these steps might get the range working again. The top burners/igniters can still work even if the touchpad or ERC is bad because they do not control the circuits for the igniters(they are mechanical switches) and mechanical burner valves. If not you might need to replace both the ERC and the Touchpad in combination to get the range to work again.

This may sound facetious, so don't get offended.
Did you set your clock to the correct time?
Did you clear any and all preset timers?
If none of that helps you can usually find roaches in the strangest places. If you have no roaches, then moisture and heat are the likely culprits which means that your blister pads are simply worn out. Unfortunately these are coated with graphite and don't last forever, so a timer replacement would be your only option unless your touchpad is separate from your timer.

I have had the same miserable experience - replacing the brain, touchpad, expensive parts - for this supposedly high-end appliance.

Have you checked the ignitor bar? See a good explanation of that at http://www.ignitors.com/oven-ignitors/
and also http://www.theignitorstore.com/product/frigidaire_oven_range_igniter_5303935066/range_oven_igniters

The touch mebrane is faulty and needs to be replaced.

The problem is in the switch not the element.

oven not workin very well might be a control issue, but top elements work completly seperate from oven control, and theres 2 electronics there $200 for touchpad galss assy and $375 for electronic timer, and switches for the burner might be 50.id make sure I trusted the repairman's diag before proceding

I hate to say it, but the touchpad or computer board needs to be replaced. VERY expensive...goodluck
