My Kenmore oven keeps beeping F2. I lost my manual. Without calling the repair man, which will cost a fortune, does anyone know how to fix it?

My dishwasher lights just blinked and wouldn't do anything. I was about to call a repairman when I read something in the manual about them not covering repairs if it is the fault of the circuit breaker. I flipped the switch on and off and it was fine after that. I have to do that a lot with our computer also....resets everything in the "brain" as Beverly said. Electronics these days.

(sent in by email) The oven door ( latch ) is not working properly , try pulling it outward by hand. This happened when I had removed the door for cleaning. The door wasn't closing completely .That was causing my "F 2 " problem. My manual said call a repairman , but my son in law fixed my problem by just resetting the latch. Try it first.

I DON'T HAVE ANY OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE F7 KENMORE OVEN ISSUE. SORRY!

I just tested that Tinyurl, and it doesn't work. Here's the full text:

"Double oven with F7 error
I purchased a Kenmore double oven in 2001. It has a GE ERC control. The oven failed to operate in November of 2005. I replaced the ERC and touchpanel for $659. The replacement parts lasted only four months. This time I started to get the dreaded F7 error message. I was not about to replace the parts a second time. Since I am an electrical engineer, I wanted to get to the root cause of the problem.
A bit of tinkering with the orginal ERC and touchpanel on my workbench brought it back to life. The fix was very simple and would have cost GE no more than a few cents to add to the product. I applied the fix to the also dead parts in my oven and managed to wake them up as well. They have been working fine since July of 2006.
As of January 2007 I have shared my fix with over 550 other folks with F7 problems via the internet. I did a Google on GE oven F7 and found several thousand hits. I won't promise this fix will work for every case of F7, but I am willing to share this with anyone who contacts me via email. I tried to tell GE and Sears about my solution, but they don't seem interested. They would rather sell expensive repair parts rather than treat their customers with courtesy and consideration.
I recently talked to an appliance technician who told me he sees many ovens with the F7 error message. Standard procedure is to install a new touchpanel. The old one goes into the trash heap."

We have a Kenmore oven, and ours did something very similar (F7 error). My husband was able to fix it with a piece of paper. He loves problem-solving, and he found through research that ours was a common problem with Kenmore ovens and was caused by a design defect.

Here's a link to the page where my husband found out about the issue: http://tinyurl.com/2ypr95. You would need to e-mail the poster to get the info on how to fix.

Try going to the mfgr's website and find the model no of the product. Many mfgrs' website has owner's manuals in pdf file (you will need Adobe to read the file, and you can get free download on Adobe's website), then you can just look under "trouble-shoot" to see why your oven is giving you that message

good luck

Bonnie,
Mine would flash PF after or when I had a storm. It seems to me the repair man told me that it did that because of an interuption. Unhook the stove for 30 seconds and then hook it back up...this "resets" the brain. Hope this helps... angel1 AT arkwest.com

I do not have a Kenmore oven -- mine is a Hotpoint, but I think that they may be similar. My suggestion is that you touch the clear/off pad. If that doesn't work, possibly unplugging the oven from the power source, leaving it for about 30 minutes, then plugging it back in may help. Additionally, perhaps your manual is available online at the Sears website. Good luck.
