Jenn-Air Oven Error Code 1c1c

The 1c1c code means the oven control has detected a shorted key on the control panel, where one key is being read as continuously pressed. The control responds by disabling the audible tone for key presses and locking out the affected key. This is a protective measure to prevent unintended commands from being executed. The fault typically points to a damaged touchpad membrane, contamination, or a wiring connection issue.

You should avoid using the oven while this fault is active. A shorted key can cause the control to receive unintended inputs, which could result in incorrect cooking functions or temperatures being activated. The control does disable the affected key as a precaution, but the underlying fault should be resolved before relying on the appliance for normal cooking use.

Repair costs depend on which component is at fault. A replacement touchpad membrane or keypad assembly typically ranges from $50 to $200 for the part alone. A new electronic control board can range from $150 to $400 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs generally fall between $150 and $500. Getting a diagnostic assessment from a qualified technician before purchasing parts is recommended.

Some causes of the 1c1c error are DIY-friendly. Start by confirming nothing is physically pressing against the control panel, then inspect the keypad surface for visible damage or moisture. If the membrane is contaminated, careful cleaning of the panel area may resolve it. However, if the touchpad membrane or control board needs replacement, that work requires disconnecting electrical components and is best suited for technicians or experienced DIYers comfortable working with oven electronics.

Resetting the oven by cycling the power at the breaker may temporarily clear the 1c1c code, but it will return if the underlying cause is not corrected. If the shorted key condition still exists in the membrane or wiring, the control will detect it again on the next scan cycle and re-flag the fault. A lasting fix requires identifying and correcting the physical cause of the short.
