Reset
Unplug the range, or disconnect electrical power, for 30 seconds.
Restore power.
If F17 is gone, nothing more is asked. If it is back, a technician fits a new electronic board.
Where it is documented
Glass touch panel electric freestanding ranges describe F17 as a failed electronic board. The Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel group (790.4275, 790.3263, 790.4276, 790.4260, 790.3264 and 790.4261) describes it as a failed board too, and the owner’s step is the identical reset.
The board is the only replacement part named, and fitting it is a repair for a technician rather than an owner.

Once a reset fails, (415) 825-6393 will set up Kenmore range repair for San Francisco and the Bay Area. Please have the F17 display, the model number and the details of your reset to hand.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F17 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
