Error codeF7 01
ApplianceRange
A broken panel link
Kenmore’s glass touch freestanding electric ranges raise F7 01 when the touch glass and the interface board stop trading signals. The manual covers it alongside F7 10 and F7 02.
What a technician works through
Unplug the range.
Look at the connectors that join the touch glass to the interface board.
Connectors in good shape point to a new interface board.
If the failure carries on, the touch glass is replaced, and the wiring to the interface board comes along with the new panel.
Owners should stop after unplugging and note the code.
