Common Causes

1
Failed membrane keypad

A worn or moisture-damaged keypad shorts a button.

2
Control board fault

Less commonly, the board that reads the keypad.

How to Fix It

  1. Unplug the oven for 5 minutes and restore power to rule out a glitch.
  2. Press each button to find one that feels stuck.
  3. If F7 returns, replace the keypad (and ribbon) — on some models the keypad and control are one assembly.
