Jenn-Air Oven Error Code F1E1-F

F1E1-F indicates that the main Appliance Control Unit has detected an open circuit in the drive circuit for the external convection fan (Fan 1 or Fan 2). The ACU monitors these fan circuits during operation and shuts down with this fault when it cannot confirm a complete circuit path. The root cause can be a loose connector, a broken wire, a failed fan motor, or in some cases, a failed ACU.

You should not rely on convection cooking functions while this fault is active, as the control has detected a problem in the convection fan circuit and the fan may not be operating properly. Using convection modes without a functioning fan can result in uneven cooking and potential overheating. Standard bake or broil functions may still operate depending on how the oven responded to the fault, but addressing the error code before continued use is strongly recommended.

Repair costs depend on which component is at fault. If the issue is only a loose connector, the repair may cost little beyond a service call fee, which typically ranges from $75 to $150. A replacement convection fan motor generally adds $100 to $250 in parts, while a new main ACU control board can range from $200 to $450 or more depending on the model. Labor costs will vary by region and the complexity of accessing the components.

Some causes of F1E1-F, such as a loose or unplugged wiring connector, can be addressed by a confident DIYer after the range has been completely unplugged from power. However, safely accessing the main control board and fan wiring typically requires removing oven panels, and diagnosing a failed fan motor or ACU requires continuity testing with a multimeter. If you are not comfortable with those steps, scheduling a technician visit is the safer approach.

Disconnecting power to the oven for several minutes and restoring it may temporarily clear the fault display, but the code will return if the underlying wiring or component issue has not been corrected. A reset alone does not repair a broken wire, a failed connector, or a faulty fan motor. Use a power reset only as part of the diagnostic process, not as a solution.
