Error codeF0 13
ApplianceRange
F0 13 on a glass touch panel range
The manual reads F0 13 as a failure of the user interface control board. It is listed for Kenmore electric freestanding ranges with glass touch panel control, and F0 15 falls under the same entry.
What to try
Unplug the range, wait about 30 seconds, and plug it back in.
If the code does not return, nothing more is called for.
If it does return, unplug the range again. The manual then replaces the user interface control board, which is technician work.
Codes that resemble it
F0 15: listed with this code and treated the same way
F013: the same board failure on a different series, written without a space
F015: a touch panel failure that is easy to confuse with the board codes
Kenmore range service in San Francisco
Because a new board needs a technician, San Francisco owners whose F0 13 survives the reset can call (415) 825-6393. Keep the model number, the code and a note about the unplugging at hand. The Kenmore range repair page covers the service in the Bay Area.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F0 13 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
The user interface control board has failed on the glass touch range.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
