Error code F4/E1
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Kenmore 665 model ranges use F-code/E-code pairs. F4/E1 is the meat probe shorted code.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F4/E1 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

F4/E1 is a shorted meat probe.

F4/E1 at a glance

On Kenmore 665 model ranges, which show codes as F-code/E-code pairs, F4/E1 is the meat probe shorted code.

Checks in the manufacturer chart

  1. Switch off power at the range, or pull its plug.
  2. Take the meat probe out and measure it with a volt/ohm meter. Anything other than 59,000 ohms at 70F means a new probe.
  3. Good probe? Insert it into the oven jack and confirm it sits firmly. Replace a jack that is damaged or worn out.
  4. Reconnect the jack’s wire harness if it has come loose, and swap the harness if it is damaged.

Only the unplugging and the reseating of the probe are owner steps; meter readings and part swaps are for a technician.
