✓ One safe check you can try

1. Write down the exact code, since these six point to different areas. 2. Stop any cycle and let the range cool. 3. Do not force the door if it is locked. 4. Turn the breaker off for a short time, then back on. 5. If the code returns, call us with the number and what the oven was doing.

! Why to stop there

The number narrows the area but does not name a bad part
We start with the circuit the code points to, then test its neighbors
We quote in writing before any part is replaced

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F13/F14/F15/F20/F30-31/F90 (790 Elite slide-in 3-digit)F13/F14/F15/F20/F30-31/F90 (790 Elite slide-in 3-digit) questions

How do I tell which problem I have?

The three-digit number decides it. F13 and F15 are the oven board, F14 and F20 are communication links, F30 and F31 are sensor trouble, and F90 is the door lock.

Does this match other Kenmore ranges?

Not necessarily. This list is for the Elite slide-in with three-digit codes. Other 790 ranges use two-digit or four-digit code sets, and the same characters can mean something different there.

How do you approach a code like this?

We read the number, test the circuit it names, and check its neighbors before replacing anything. The price is written before work starts, and the workmanship carries a 30-day warranty.
