Quick answer
Kenmore code F001 means touch panel failure. The manual lists a 30-second power reset first and a panel replacement if the code returns.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F001 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 thiscode means
Touch panel failure.
Reading F001 on your Kenmore range
The display shows F001 when the touch panel has failed. That applies to two groups of models: freestanding ranges whose model number starts with 790 and whose F-codes have three digits, and the Elite electric slide-in ranges 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256.
What the manual suggests
Shut off electrical power and give the range 30 seconds before turning power back on. A code that stays away needs no further action. If F001 appears again, power goes off once more and the panel is replaced, a job for a technician.
Same family of codes
F001 sits in one entry with F005 (touch panel failure, same remedy) and F002 (touch panel failure, same remedy). The board fault F003 (user interface control board failure) is the code most easily confused with them.
