Error codeF015
ApplianceRange
F015 means the touch panel of a Kenmore range has failed. You will meet it on 790 freestanding models as well as on the Elite slide-in electrics (790.4131, 790.4255, 790.5256), where the part is named the touch control panel.
Steps from the manual
Remove power from the range for 30 seconds.
Restore power and watch the display.
If F015 shows up again, the touch panel is replaced.
A technician handles the replacement.
Compare with
F013: failure of the user interface control board.
F017: that board cannot configure the touch panel.
F012: touch panel and board that do not match each other.
Kenmore range service in the Bay Area
A touch panel that keeps failing after a reset is a job for Kenmore range repair, available in San Francisco and across the Bay Area through (415) 825-6393. Say that F015 returned after the power cycle and give the model number of the range.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F015 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
