Understanding F1-9
Code F1-9 on the range display indicates there may be a failure with the oven’s control or the wires attached to it. Since the manual says may, nothing is certain until the reset has been tried and the oven has been watched afterwards.
Owner steps for F1-9
Begin by removing power for a minute, either at the breaker or at the plug. Restore power and watch for one minute; if F1-9 does not return, test the oven and make sure it works as usual.
If the reset does not help
If F1-9 returns after the restart, the next step is a technician visit.
