Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E1-5

F1E1-5 indicates a main ACU fault where the broil relay is detected as open. The ACU is the main control board, and the broil relay is the switch it uses to send power to the broil element. When this relay fails or its circuit is interrupted, the oven triggers F1E1-5 and the broil function becomes inoperable. The fault points to either a wiring connection issue or a failed relay within the control board itself.

The F1E1-5 fault specifically affects the broil relay, so the broil function should not be used while this code is active. Bake and other oven functions may still operate, but you should confirm there are no additional faults before continuing to use the appliance. When in doubt, disconnect power and have the oven inspected before further use.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose wiring connector, costs may be limited to a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. If the main ACU needs to be replaced, parts and labor combined can range from $250 to $600 or more depending on the specific model and your region. Getting a diagnostic visit from a technician before ordering parts is advisable to confirm the exact cause.

The first step is something a careful DIYer can handle: unplug the range, then inspect all wiring harness connectors at the main control board for anything loose, unplugged, or corroded. Reseating a loose connector may resolve the fault. If the connections are all secure, the ACU likely needs to be replaced, which involves working with the electrical components of the control system and is best handled by a qualified technician.

Disconnecting power for several minutes will clear the code temporarily, but if the underlying fault remains, the F1E1-5 code will return when power is restored and the broil circuit is tested by the ACU. A reset alone does not fix a failed relay or a damaged wiring connection. The root cause must be diagnosed and corrected for the fault to stay clear.
