Error codeF14
ApplianceRange
F14 means the panel you press and the board that acts on it have lost touch. Expect keys to do nothing until the link is restored.
Elite slide-in ranges
Applies to the electric 790.4671 and to the gas or dual-fuel group (790.4276, 790.3263, 790.4275, 790.3264, 790.4260 and 790.4261). The listing is a communication error between oven control board and touch control panel.
Disconnect electrical power.
Inspect the wiring that joins the touch control panel to the oven control board; any loose wire goes back on.
Wiring fine? The board gets replaced.
Electric slide-in only: if the fault goes on after that, the touch control panel is replaced too.
Glass touch electric range
The glass touch panel has come disconnected from the electronic oven control board.
Unplug the range.
Inspect the harness between the glass panel and the electronic board.
If the harness is in order, the glass touch panel is the part replaced.
If F14 resumes, the electronic oven control board follows.
Technicians for Kenmore ranges in San Francisco and the Bay Area take bookings at (415) 825-6393. Mention F14, the model number and whether a loose connector turned up. Kenmore range repair explains the work further.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F14 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
