Error codeF025
ApplianceRange
F025 in brief
A Kenmore range showing F025 could not get a conversation going between the interface board and the relay board. Models: 790 freestanding ranges, and Elite slide-in electrics 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256. The manual groups it with F027.
Resolution steps
Pull the range off power for 30 seconds and bring it back.
Still F025? Remove electrical power again and study the harness that joins the interface control board to the relay control board; reseat loose connectors and replace the harness if damaged.
Think about recent work. If either board went in lately, it might be a mismatch, and its part number is checked against the range model number.
No recent work and a healthy harness: the relay control board is replaced.
Code remains: the interface control board is replaced.
F022: contact between these two boards lost mid-operation.
F019: the interface board cannot configure the relay control board.
Kenmore range service in San Francisco
A range that cannot bring up its board link is worth a technician visit. Call (415) 825-6393 to reach Kenmore range repair serving San Francisco and the Bay Area, and keep the model number, the code and any replaced part numbers on hand.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F025 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
Communication between the user interface board and the relay board cannot be initiated.
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.
