GE Oven F1 Code

The F1 error code on these ovens likely indicates a bad control/keypad module. You will likely replace the module on units with this code. The keypad is integrated into the module. Before you do that, see if a couple of other fixes will work. GE has very little published information on this code, and it is difficult to find in their service literature

As with almost any error code, resetting the device is a good first step. For GE ovens, the easiest way to do this is to disconnect the power.

• You may be able to reach the plug on gas or electric ranges or stoves. You can disconnect the power at the circuit breaker if it is difficult to reach.
• Built-in ovens (like wall ovens) require you to disconnect power at the circuit breaker since they are usually hardwired and don't have a plug.
• Leave the power disconnected for 5 minutes.
• Reconnect the power and check to see if the error returns.
• If it does, move on to the next item. If not, monitor the oven, as this type of error often starts with occasional error codes and then grows in frequency.

If your keypad module can be disconnected and detached from the control board, you can try following the steps in GE Oven F0 Code

The most common problem with a unit displaying this F1 error code is a faulty control module. Look for burned portions or overheated components (frequently brown streaks on the board near them). If you find these signs, it will help confirm the problem. Replace the control board.
