What F23 means
Glass touch Kenmore freestanding electric ranges raise F23 when the board that governs convection fan speed loses contact with the main electronic oven board. One chart entry covers F23 and F24 with a single remedy.
Order of the repair
Unplug the range.
Inspect the harness plugs that run between the fan speed board and the oven board.
Plugs fine: a new power control board assembly goes in, and the fan speed board is part of it.
Fault still there: swap in a new oven board as well.
F20 is a different communication failure on this range, aimed at the surface burner controls.
