What the F702 error code actually means

Your Kenmore range is detecting a problem with the touch control panel, specifically a short circuit that makes the control board think a button is stuck or constantly being pressed. This prevents the range from operating normally as a safety measure. You may be able to clear it by unplugging the range for 30 seconds, but if the error comes back, a control board or touch panel replacement will likely be needed.

Questions people ask about F702

What does F702 mean on a Kenmore range?
F702 indicates a shorted keypad condition detected by the ESEC (Electronic Surface Element Control) system. The control board has sensed a short circuit in the touch keypad circuit, which can involve either the glass touch panel or the EOC board. The range displays this code to alert you to the fault and prevent unintended operation.
How do I fix an F702 error on my Kenmore range?
Start by disconnecting the range from power for 30 seconds, then restore power to see if the fault clears. If the F702 code returns on power-up, the recommended repair sequence is to replace the EOC board first, and if the fault persists after that, replace the glass touch panel. Both components work together in the ESEC system, and either can cause this code when faulty.
How much does it cost to repair a Kenmore range F702 error?
Repair costs depend on which component is faulty. A replacement EOC board typically runs in the range of $150 to $350 for the part alone, while a glass touch panel can range from $75 to $250 depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor can bring the total to $200 to $500 or more, so some owners weigh repair costs against the age and value of the appliance before proceeding.
Will resetting the power clear the F702 error code?
Sometimes, yes. Disconnecting power to the range for at least 30 seconds and then restoring it can clear the F702 code if it was triggered by a temporary electrical irregularity. However, if the code returns immediately after power is restored, a hardware failure in the EOC or the glass touch panel is the likely cause and a reset alone will not resolve it.
Is it safe to use my Kenmore range when the F702 code is showing?
It is not recommended to continue using the range while the F702 fault is active. A shorted keypad condition means the control system may not accurately process your inputs, which could lead to unexpected behavior from the surface elements or oven. Power down the range until the fault is diagnosed and resolved.
