Error codeF5 00
ApplianceRange
Which range and which fault
Look for F5 00 on a Kenmore freestanding electric range with glass touch control. The display is saying that the interface board behind the touch glass and the oven board that runs the cooking are not exchanging data.
Order of work
Power off: the range is unplugged.
Connections: the wiring plugs that tie the interface board, the relay board for power and the oven board together get inspected.
Cable: with those plugs in good order, the cable between the interface board and the oven board is replaced.
Last resort: if F5 00 still appears, the interface board is what gets replaced.
Apart from unplugging, everything is hands-on technician work inside the range, so an owner should simply record the code.
Similar-looking codes
F5: begins the same way but names the lower oven sensor on 721 models.
F5/E0: a door switch and latch switch in disagreement.
F5/E1: the self-clean latch failing to lock or unlock.
Glass touch range service in San Francisco
Touch panel range trouble in San Francisco or anywhere in the Bay Area goes to a technician when you call (415) 825-6393. Note F5 00, the model number and whether the display still responds before you phone. See Kenmore range repair for background.
Model compatibility: Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F5 00 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
The user interface control board and the electronic oven control board have lost communication.
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.
