What F8E0 / F8E2 / F9E0 (664-prefix) means

This group applies to electric slide-in Kenmore ranges with 664. model numbers, a Whirlpool-built platform. F8E0 means the cooling fan is running too slowly and F8E2 means it is running too fast, so the control no longer sees the fan speed it expects. F9E0 is unlike them, because it means the power cord is miswired. You may hear the fan sounding odd, the oven stop a cycle to protect itself, or see F9E0 shortly after installation.

Common causes of F8E0 / F8E2 / F9E0 (664-prefix)

Cooling fan motor and its wiring
Blocked airflow around the range
Power cord connection at the range, for F9E0
Control board reading fan speed

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Cancel any cooking and let the range cool. 2. Keep the area around and beneath the range clear so air can move. 3. Wipe dust from the front vents with a dry cloth. 4. Turn off power at the breaker for a minute, then restore it. 5. If F9E0 appeared after installation, stop using the range and call us.

! Why to stop there

Fan speed codes can come from the fan, airflow, or the board's reading
A miswired cord is a wiring problem for a qualified person, not a reset
We quote in writing before any work

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.

F8E0 / F8E2 / F9E0 (664-prefix)F8E0 / F8E2 / F9E0 (664-prefix) questions

Is F9E0 related to the fan codes?

No. On this 664 platform F9E0 means the power cord is miswired, usually noticed after an installation or a cord change. The fan codes are F8E0 and F8E2.

Can I fix the cord myself?

We do not recommend it. Range power connections carry high current, so a miswiring should be corrected by a qualified person after the power is off.

Who corrects a miswired cord?

A qualified technician should, with the power off. We check the cord connection, correct what is wrong, and explain it. The price is written before any work, and our workmanship is covered for 30 days.
