Error code F13
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F13 on a Kenmore range: a short explanation by model type, the reset to try, and what a returning code means.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F13 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

F13 is a control memory fault or oven control board failure on Kenmore ranges.

Reset, then watch the display

The manual keeps this short. Disconnect electrical power, wait for 30 seconds and restore power. A code that clears means you can carry on. A code that returns means the oven control board gets replaced, and that part of the job belongs to a technician.

Series and what F13 is called

  • 790-prefix self-cleaning electric, 2004 and newer, plus 2014 models: a faulty EEPROM identification or an internal memory checksum error. The keypad is part of the control board assembly.
  • Elite slide-in electric, 790.4671: oven control board failure.
  • Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel, models 790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275, 790.4276: oven control board failure.
  • Glass touch freestanding electric: electronic oven control board failure.
