What F0 / F1 / F5 / F6 (362-prefix) means
Kenmore ranges whose model numbers start with 362. are a GE-built platform, not Whirlpool. On it, F0 or F1 and F5 or F6 all point to a defective electronic control board. The code is the board reporting trouble inside itself, rather than a sensor or heating element. You will see the code flash on the display, and the oven may stop heating, stop responding to the keypad, or beep until you cancel.
Common causes of F0 / F1 / F5 / F6 (362-prefix)
- The electronic control board
- Power reset clearing a one-time error
- Connectors and wiring at the control
- Which of the four codes keeps coming back
1. Cancel any cooking and let the oven cool. 2. Unplug the range for 3 minutes, then plug it back in. 3. Set a simple bake and watch whether the code returns. 4. If it returns, stop using the oven and call us with the exact code. 5. If the range is gas and you smell gas, leave the house and call the gas utility from outside.
- After a reset, a returning code means the board needs confirming
- We separate a bad board from a connector or power problem
- The board is a larger repair, so we confirm it first and quote in writing
Other Range codes
Do all four codes mean the same thing?
On this 362 GE-built platform, F0, F1, F5, and F6 all point to a defective electronic control board. Which one shows is less important than whether it comes back after a reset.
Why unplug the range?
Cutting power for about 3 minutes lets the board restart. If the code was a one-time glitch it clears. If it returns, the board needs testing.
What information is most useful?
Tell us which code showed, whether it returned after the 3-minute unplug, and what the oven does. We confirm the board before suggesting it, and a written price comes first.
