KitchenAid Oven Error Code F69

F69 indicates a WIDE communication error between the AEVO control module and the IPC relay board. The oven monitors this communication link continuously, and if it is lost for 30 seconds, F69 is logged and the oven stops operating normally. The fault can be intermittent and may clear on its own if the communication link is restored. If it does not clear, further diagnosis of the wiring and control boards is needed.

No, you should not attempt to use the oven while F69 is active. The error indicates the two boards responsible for controlling power to heating elements are not communicating, which means heating functions may not operate or stop correctly. Continuing to use the oven in this condition creates a risk of uncontrolled heating. Wait until the fault is cleared or repaired before resuming use.

Repair costs vary depending on the root cause. If the fix is simply reseating a connector, you may only pay a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. Replacing an IPC relay board or AEVO control module generally adds $150 to $400 or more in parts, plus labor. Getting a diagnostic quote before authorizing parts replacement is advisable.

Some F69 faults resolve without any repair if the communication disruption is temporary. You can also inspect the wiring harness connectors between the AEVO and IPC boards for looseness or corrosion, which is a task many knowledgeable DIYers can perform safely with the oven unplugged. If the fault persists after checking connections, diagnosing and replacing control boards typically requires a qualified appliance technician.

A power reset may temporarily clear F69 if the underlying communication disruption was intermittent. The error is designed to erase itself automatically once communication between the AEVO and IPC is restored. However, if the root cause is a wiring fault or failed board, the error will return after the reset. A reset alone is not a repair for persistent F69 faults.
