Isolate the problem
To determine the exact cause of the F7 error code, press the Off or Clear button on the control panel, and unplug the oven. Disconnect the ribbon connector on the control board, and plug the oven in. If the F7 code appears after 30 seconds, it may be necessary to replace the control board. The absence of the code indicates the need to replace the key panel. An ohm meter can be used to test the key panel before replacing it if there is doubt about which part should be replaced.
