Error code F022
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F022 on a Kenmore range: communication failure between the user interface board and the relay control board. Steps from the manual and when to call.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F022 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

Communication failure between the user interface board and the relay control board.

Display F022
Meaning Communication failure between the user interface board and the relay control board
Covers the Elite electric slide-in range, models 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256, along with freestanding ranges with 790 model numbers

Steps in the manual’s order

Cut power to the unit for 30 seconds and switch it back on. When F022 reappears, the manual points to the harness linking the two boards: tighten or reconnect loose wires, and swap the harness out if it has damage. Should the harness be fine, it names the relay control board for replacement, and then the user interface control board if F022 still persists. Elite slide-in owners will see “oven user interface board” in their version.

Easily confused with

F019 is the user interface control board being unable to configure the relay control board, while F027 is a failure to initiate communication between the user interface board and the relay board.
