Frigidaire Range Error Code 1c2c

The 1c2c code means the control board has detected that the keyboard tail, the ribbon cable connecting the touchpad to the control board, is either disconnected or returning an improper signal value on the keyboard loop circuit. As a result, the board disables outputs, lights, and timers, and the touchpad cannot be used to edit any settings. If a cook cycle or timer was already active when the fault occurred, it will continue running but cannot be changed.

Any cook cycle that was already running when the fault occurred will continue, but you will have no ability to adjust or cancel it through the touchpad. This creates a safety concern because normal user control is lost. It is recommended to allow the current cycle to finish and then avoid starting new cooking functions until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.

Repair costs vary depending on the failed component. A replacement touchpad or keyboard assembly typically ranges from around $40 to $120 for the part alone. If the main control board requires replacement, parts alone can range from $100 to $250 or more. Adding professional labor for diagnosis and repair can bring the total to anywhere from $150 to $400 depending on your location and the technician's rates.

In many cases, yes. Start by powering the range down at the breaker for a few minutes and then restoring power to see if the code clears. If it returns, you will need to access the control panel area and check that the keyboard ribbon cable is fully seated at both the touchpad and control board connectors. If the cable is visibly damaged, replacing the keyboard tail or touchpad assembly is a manageable repair for someone comfortable working on appliances.

A power reset by shutting off the range at the circuit breaker for several minutes may temporarily clear the code if the ribbon cable connection is intermittent. However, if the keyboard tail is physically damaged or the connector is corroded, the fault will return after reset. A reset is a useful first diagnostic step but is not a permanent fix for an underlying hardware problem.
