Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E1-A

The F1E1-A code on a Jenn-Air oven indicates a fault with the main ACU (Appliance Control Unit), specifically a pin short detected on the control board. This is often caused by contamination such as grease or moisture on the surface of the PCB, which creates unintended electrical connections between pins. Components like the door latch board and cavity temperature sensor circuits are commonly involved in this fault.

You should not continue using the oven while this fault code is active. The F1E1-A code indicates an electrical fault within the main control board, and operating the oven in this state could cause additional damage to control components or create an unsafe condition. Disconnect power and perform diagnostics before resuming use.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If the fix involves cleaning contamination or reseating connectors, there may be little to no parts cost, though a service call typically runs between $75 and $150. If the cavity temperature sensor wiring or door latch board needs replacement, parts and labor combined generally range from $150 to $350. A failed main ACU control board is the most expensive scenario, with total repair costs typically falling between $300 and $600 or more depending on the specific board and labor rates in your area.

Unplugging the oven or disconnecting power may temporarily clear the F1E1-A code, but if the underlying cause, such as contamination on the PCB or a loose connector, is not addressed, the fault will return. A power reset is a useful first step for diagnosis but is not a permanent fix. After resetting, inspect all ACU connections and the board surface before restoring power.

Start by unplugging the range or disconnecting power at the breaker. Inspect all harness connectors attached to the main ACU for any that are loose, unplugged, or showing signs of corrosion, and reseat them firmly. Visually examine the PCB surface for contamination such as grease or moisture and address any found. If connections are secure and the board appears clean but the code returns, the cavity temperature sensor wiring, door latch board connection, or the ACU itself may need to be replaced.
