# Frigidaire range showing F1

Frigidaire lists F1 as a shorted key pad: a key is reading as pressed or as shorted.

## What F1 actually means.

Frigidaire lists F1 as a shorted key pad: a key is reading as pressed or as shorted. The control stops accepting input normally.

Frigidaire range display

What to do when F1 shows on the range

### Kind of code Controls 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 to Knobs, 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 as Range 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.

### Make Frigidaire

A long-running American brand, now owned by Electrolux, that sells everyday freestanding and front-control ranges on gas, electric and induction.

## Questions about F1.

### Can I clear F1 myself?

Clean and dry the control panel. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### Why do the keys on my Frigidaire range stop working with F1?

The control sees a key as shorted and ignores the pad. Drying the panel and a power reset are the first steps.

### Does F1 on a Frigidaire range mean a new control board?

Not always. The key pad itself is a separate part on many ranges, and a technician tests which one has failed.
