Error code F23 Convection fan board communication failure
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F23 on a Kenmore freestanding electric range with a glass touch panel is a communication failure involving the convection fan speed control board.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F23 Convection fan board communication failure 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 convection fan speed control board and the electronic oven control board.

Quick facts

  • Code: F23
  • Range: Kenmore freestanding electric, glass touch panel control
  • Meaning: the convection fan speed control board and the electronic oven control board are not communicating

What the manual suggests

Start with the range unplugged and examine the harness running from the oven control board to the convection fan speed control board. Sound connections lead the manual to swap the power control board assembly, which contains the convection fan speed control board. Persisting trouble means the electronic oven control board. Those swaps are technician work.

Codes to compare:

  • F24: appears alongside F23 with identical wording
  • F20: oven control board and surface burner control system communication
