I have been getting an intermittent F7 D7 error code. Help!

Question edited for clarity and all the typos.

All questions need 'make model (what it is)' as first 3 words.

Generic advice on a generic F7 Oven Error code.

F7 error code can be a result of a faulty wire harness (short-circuit), defective heating elements or oven sensor. A qualified service technician will need to have a look, determine faulty part then replace or repair it.

U have a bad clock or your probe inside of oven is bad.I would replace your probe first .it looks like a rod sticking out inside back upper top .f7 I believe means its not reading up temp and getting to hot

F7 means Stuck Button
- Function pad button stuck or
- Bad clock. Try to free stuck button or
- Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC).

Someone mention that intermittent F7 problems are usually caused by poor connections. So I pulled the ribbon connector off the control board and cleaned the copper connectors using a pink pencil eraser.

It's important that you don't skimp the disconnect test because there's a big difference in price between the ERC and touch pad. So, you want to be right on this one. Ok, after you do this test and determine which part you need to replace, come and get it here.

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day.

An error F7 on this model means there is an issue with the touch-panel. It might need to be replaced even if the error is intermittent. The ERC (an electronic clock controller) might also have issues by can diagnosed further if replacing the touch-panel doesn't completely solve the issue--however, it should.

Hello & Welcome to FixYa

F7 error code is displayed when the clock assembly/electronic range control (ERC) goes bad and needs replacement. Please get back to me if you have any other questions.

Hi there,

Well first of all you determine if problem is with the Key Panel or Control by:
1. Pushing CLEAR/OFF pad.
2. Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and waiting at least 32 seconds to see if Code recurs
If code recurs, problem is in the control. Replace control.
If code does not recur, problem is with the Key Panel.
 
This error code F7 means Function pad button stuck or Bad clock: Unstick button or Replace Electronic Range Control (ERC)......
Post comments for more help or information........

Good Luck!!

On a GE range oven F7 indicates either a function pad button is stuck or the clock on the oven is malfunctioning

On the 99 Range oven F7 indicates a shorted Clear/Off Key due to membrane switch or a shorted control or connector

There was a tag on stove that told on the error codes. Reset pad, it was somehow stuck. Thank you for your help!!

f7 is a shorted key-stuck function on control

“F— AND A NUMBER • You have a function error code. Press the CLEAR/OFF pad. Allow the OR LETTER” FLASH oven to cool for one hour. Put the oven back into operation. IN THE LOWER OVEN • If the function code repeats, disconnect all power to the oven for at DISPLAY least 30 seconds and then reconnect power. If the function error code repeats, call for service Here is someone that had the exact same problem: intermittent F7 error code. I couldn't even get it to do the F7 error . There's a pretty good tech service sheet inside the control panel. I followed its procedure for testing the keypad (which was nothing more than pressing all the buttons and hearing it go "BEEP!" ). But the tech sheet did mention that intermittent F7 problems are usually caused by poor connections. So I pulled the ribbon connector off the control board and cleaned the copper connectors using a pink pencil eraser. That whupped that puppy! But then I went out on another service call, same oven, different house. The pink pencil eraser trick didn't work on this one so I had to apply some of that famous Samurai gray matter. To identify the problem on this one, I cut power to the range and disconnected the ribbon connector that connected the touch pad to the electronic range control (ERC) board. Then I re-applied power and let it sit that way for 24 hours after which the customer was instructed to call me and report on the error code status of the oven. If no error code was reported, I knew the touch pad was the problem. If, on the other hand, the F7 error code came back, then I knew the (ERC) was the culprit. In this case, the error code did not come back during the test period and, using my keen, Vulcan-like powers of deduction, concluded that the touch pad was defective. I replaced the touch pad and problem solved! It's important that you don't skimp the disconnect test because there's a big difference in price between the ERC and touch pad. So, you want to be right on this one. Ok, after you do this test and determine which part you need to replace, come and get it here. **** this helps. :]
