JennAir Range Code F1-2: Oven sensor message

What F1-2 means

On older-style JennAir ranges with electronic oven control, such as the JES1750FS or JGRP430WP, F1-2 means the oven temperature sensor, the control, or the associated wiring may have a problem. The dash form is typical of earlier displays. The oven stops and flashes the code, and baking cannot resume until it is cleared. Testing sorts out which of the three is responsible.

Common causes of F1-2

Oven temperature sensor out of range
Oven control reading problem
Wiring from the sensor is loose or damaged

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the oven cool. 2. Touch Cancel. 3. Shut the breaker off for one minute, then switch it on. 4. Test with a short Bake. 5. If F1-2 returns, stop using the oven and call us. Food inside can finish cooking elsewhere.

! Why to stop there

The sensor is inside the oven, and the control is behind the panel.
A reset does not repair a bent or open sensor.
The cause could be any of three parts, and testing sorts them out.

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.

F1-2F1-2 questions

What does F1-2 tell me that F1-3 does not?

Nothing different for you: both mean the oven temperature sensor, the control or the wiring. A technician uses further checks to tell the two entries apart.

Why is there a dash in F1-2?

It is how this control generation displays the code. Quote it exactly as shown, dash included, when you call so we match the right entry.

What should I do with food in the oven?

Take it out once the oven is cool enough to handle safely, and finish cooking another way. We can then look at the oven when it is empty.
