Error code F003
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Kenmore code F003: user interface control board failure, with separate manual guidance for 790 and Elite slide-in ranges.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F003 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

User interface control board failure.

What F003 tells you

A user interface control board failure is behind F003. It is listed for 790-series Kenmore freestanding ranges and for Kenmore Elite electric slide-in ranges 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256.

Differences by series

Series Manual says
790 freestanding Disconnect power and replace the user interface board; use its latest revision, since more than one version exists.
Elite slide-in Wait 30 seconds after disconnecting power, then restore it. If the code returns, replace the oven user interface control board located right behind the touch control panel; it includes the clock display.

Board replacement is technician work in both cases.

Compare with

F002 (touch panel failure) and F004 (touch panel failure) point at the panel instead, while F001 (touch panel failure) is the first of that group.
