JennAir Radiant Cooktop Code F22: Touch Control Talk Failure

What F22 means

F22 on JennAir electric radiant and touch-control cooktops signals an internal communication error on the touch control module. The control stopped passing messages between its parts. As a result, the cooktop may not respond to the keys, may turn elements off or may show F22 as soon as it receives power. Your cookware is not involved. The cooktop stops responding to your touch until the link returns.

Common causes of F22

A momentary communication problem inside the module
A loose or damaged internal connection
A touch control module that is failing

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn all controls off. 2. Clean and dry the touch panel. 3. Switch the cooktop's breaker off for one minute, then on. 4. Try a single element on low. 5. If F22 returns, leave the cooktop off and call us.

! Why to stop there

The module is under the glass near live wiring.
Reset after reset will not repair a failing module.
The code matches other communication codes, so testing sorts out which part is at issue.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F22F22 questions

Is F22 the same as F13?

Both report an internal communication error on the touch control module. The code number helps the technician when testing. Both codes lead to the same module.

Can I keep cooking if it clears?

If a reset clears it, you can keep cooking. If F22 returns, the module needs a test before the cooktop is used much more. Do not repeat resets endlessly.

What will it cost?

We give a written price after testing and before any work, and repairs include our 30-day workmanship warranty on labor. Please have your model number ready.
