F1E7: KitchenAid names the appliance control board or its wiring; a tech sheet adds a PCB thermistor open or shorted.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F1E7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F1E7 is listed as a possible appliance control board or wiring problem, with a PCB thermistor open or shorted on the technician sheet.
What KitchenAid says about F1E7
For both ranges and wall ovens, KitchenAid’s support pages give F1E7 one explanation: a possible problem with the appliance control board, or with the wiring leading to it.
The extra line on the tech sheet
A technician sheet for electric range and oven controls words the code as “PCB thermistor open or shorted”. A PCB is a printed circuit board, and a thermistor is a small part whose resistance shifts with temperature. KitchenAid says nothing more about the entry.
Owner reset
At the breaker panel, switch off the circuit feeding the range.
Count out one minute.
Switch the circuit on again.
Remain near the oven for a minute to see if F1E7 returns.
Run the oven to make sure it works.
If the reset does not help
Nothing else is listed for owners, and a control board cannot be tested with ordinary household tools. Plan on a service visit, and leave the board’s housing closed.

F1E9: identical board wording, but a different line on the tech sheet.
Are F1E7 and F1E9 one and the same? Both name the appliance control board, yet their tech sheet lines differ, which is why each has its own entry.
Which documents list F1E7? The range page, the wall oven page and the technician sheet.
