Wellander for Model Number JCSP42SK1SS Our GE self-cleaning oven/range JCSP42SK1SS suddenly has come up with the error message F7 (plus an additional 'dC' on the next LED panel). This happened since we were away from home for a few days. I have shut off the breaker overnight, but the error message keeps coming back. I am reading all over the Internet about disconnecting the ribbon cable. Would someone be able to explain how this can be done?
Answer Hello Wellander, You can test to see if it is the oven control or the membrane switch. The F7 error code indicates that the start key is shorted. You can test this by measuring the ribbon cable allow up to 1000 ohms when pressing a key. Output keys are: Bake pins 12 and 14 Broil pins 11-14 clean pins 9-14 oven light pins 9-13 Start pins 1-2 number 1 pins 5-7 number 2 pins 4-8 number 3 pins 6-14 number 4 pins 6-13 number 5 pins 7-14 number 6 pins 7-13 number 7 pins 5-11 number 8 pins 8-13 number 9 pins 8-14 number 0 pins 5-6 clear pins 3-4 cook time pins 11-13 timer pins 10-14 delay pins 12-13 clock pins 10-13 When checking the pins you will push the keypad when checking between pins that correspond to the pins. If you get ohm readings on any of the pins that is higher than 1000 ohms you will need a keypad. If they all check ok then you will need oven control. Read More...
