What F7
actually means.
F7 is one of four codes GE Appliances ties to the keypanel. On a Cafe range with touch controls, pads may ignore presses or act on their own.

What to do when F7 shows on the rangeKind of codeControls and communication
The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker.
Usually leads toKnobs, switches and controls
Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing.
Shows up asRange Control Panel Not Responding
The touch keys or knobs on the range do nothing, only some keys work, the display is blank or frozen, or it beeps without starting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Café's own guidance for F7 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Turn the breaker off for a minute or two and back on.
If F7 does not clear, book a visit; keep the breaker off apart from brief use of the burners or elements.
Still there?
It usually turns into knobs, switches and controls. Book with the code and the model number.
What not to do
F7 is not a temperature or lock code.

Controls and communication on other makes
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
In Café's own words
This code usually means that there is a problem with the keypanel. Many times, it means the keypanel needs to be replaced.
Every code on this site is taken from the manufacturer's documentation, never from a forum or a parts listing. Cafe ranges with electronic controls, per GE Appliances' shared code page; the Cafe manuals themselves list only a generic F code.
