Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E1-E

F1E1-E on a Jenn-Air oven indicates that the main Appliance Control Unit has detected an open condition in the relay or triac that controls the Convect 2 heating element. This means the electronic switch responsible for powering that circuit is not functioning correctly. The oven will stop operating normally until the fault is addressed and cleared.

You should not continue using the oven while this fault is active. The code indicates a failure in a key switching component within the control board, and operating the appliance in this condition could result in unpredictable behavior or incomplete heating. Disconnect power and have the oven diagnosed before resuming use.

If the fix is simply reseating a loose connector, there may be no parts cost at all, though a service call fee will still apply if you hire a technician. If the main ACU board needs replacement, parts alone typically range from $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific model, with total repair costs including labor often falling between $250 and $600. Getting a diagnosis first helps clarify whether the repair is cost-effective compared to replacement.

The first step any technician would take is to disconnect power and inspect all wiring connectors at the main control board, which is something a careful DIYer can do. If reseating connectors does not resolve the fault, the repair typically requires replacing the main ACU board, which involves working with high-voltage components and is best handled by a qualified technician. If you are comfortable with appliance repairs and can source the correct control board, the replacement itself is a straightforward board swap.

Disconnecting power for several minutes may temporarily clear the fault display, but if the underlying hardware problem (a failed relay, triac, or wiring issue) is still present, the code will return once the oven attempts to use the convection circuit again. A reset alone is not a repair and should only be used as part of the diagnostic process.
