Hi Jordan. I hate to say it, but Vox is correct. Your oven controller,
what my father refers to as the "ERC" (electronic range control), is
defective and must be replaced. The repair bill might shock you too! Do
you know approximately how old the range is? My dad services and repairs
major appliances. He is authorized by most of the major manufacturers to
carry out the warranty work too. He personally has replaced more ERC's than
he cares to admit. As a matter of fact, I remember him saying that almost
80% of his service calls for ranges involve the ERC. (The F1 fault code your
stove is displaying) Most only last for about 3-5 years and basically burn
out. The repair bill typically runs from around $250-400, depending on the
design. Unlike standard dial controls, which can be repaired, electronic
controls must be ENTIRELY replaced. Most are hermetically sealed and
opening them up will destroy the casing, so it's pointless. Unfortunately,
everything seems to be going electronic in the home appliance department.
Hope this helps you out somewhat... Good luck, and let us know how things
turn out!
