# Oven error code F1 01

### What F1 01 means on this make

There are two boards behind this oven and they talk to each other. This one says the master — the board that actually switches the heat — is not answering. That is different from a board that answers wrongly, and it is a useful difference: a board that is simply absent from the conversation is often absent because of what connects it rather than because it has died. A connector that has worked loose in a hot cabinet, a harness chafed where it passes the cavity, or a supply that is not arriving will all produce exactly this. It is checked in that order because that is the order of cost.

### Where this appears, and which table it belongs to

On the appliance’s own display. Photograph it before you cut the power: a display that has been cleared has taken the evidence with it, and there is no way to ask the machine for it again. Then check the model, because this make changed hands in 2016 and the two generations share no code string. The same characters mean different things on a Classic ERC oven, an ER-series range and a Modernist induction cooktop, and a meaning read off the wrong table is worse than no meaning at all.

### Which machines this one applies to

wall ovens carrying the decoded F-series table. The same number on a different appliance of this make is a different page and often a different repair, which is why this archive is organized by appliance rather than by number. This maker documents codes on 4 of the appliance types this site publishes — bbq grill, cooktop, oven and range — and publishes none at all for bbq grill, beverage center, outdoor kitchen appliance, range and range hood. Those appliances have symptom pages here and no code pages, which is the honest answer rather than borrowing a table from the machine next door.

### What to do about it

- Cut the power at the breaker for a full minute and restore it. A single occurrence after a storm or a brownout is worth clearing before anything is dismantled.
- If it returns, stop using the oven. A control that cannot see the board that switches the heat should not be asked to run a cycle.
- Have the connection tested before a board is ordered. On a built-in at chest height, opening it to check a plug is the same access as replacing the part, so it costs almost nothing to look first.

### Where this goes next

The job this usually becomes is [diagnostic visit](/services/diagnostic-visit/), and that page carries a starting figure and the reasons that move it. If it turns out to be nothing — and on this make a real share of these are modes, reminders and settings rather than problems — the visit ends there and you pay the diagnostic and nothing else, or call [(305) 526-4714](tel:+13055264714) and describe what the panel is doing before booking anything.
