Electrolux Oven Error Code F1

The F1 code on an Electrolux oven indicates a control system failure that can include three distinct conditions: a runaway oven or overheating fault related to a shorted relay or bad RTD temperature sensor (F10), a shorted keypad (F11), or a corrupted internal memory checksum (F13). Each sub-condition points to a different component and requires its own diagnostic approach. Identifying which specific situation is occurring will determine the correct repair path.

It depends on the specific cause. For a corrupted checksum fault, disconnecting power for at least 30 seconds and reapplying it may clear the error. For a shorted keypad, pressing the CLEAR key can sometimes resolve the fault temporarily. However, if the fault is caused by a failed RTD sensor probe or a shorted relay on the EOC board, a reset will not fix the underlying problem and the code will return.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. An RTD sensor probe replacement is typically the least expensive fix, with parts generally ranging from $20 to $60 and a straightforward installation. Replacing the Electronic Oven Control board is more costly, with parts ranging from $150 to $350 or more depending on the model, plus labor if a technician performs the repair. A keypad replacement, if needed, falls somewhere in between.

No, you should not use the oven until the fault is diagnosed and resolved. If the oven is overheating or running uncontrollably, disconnect power at the breaker immediately. A shorted relay can cause the heating element to stay energized regardless of the thermostat setting, which is a fire and safety hazard. Do not restore power until you have identified the cause of the fault.

Start by pressing the CLEAR key to rule out a keypad short. If the code persists, disconnect power for 30 seconds to attempt a checksum reset. If the oven was overheating, inspect and test the RTD sensor probe and replace it if faulty. If the fault returns after power is restored and the RTD sensor tests correctly, the Electronic Oven Control board will need to be replaced.
