Quick answer

Kenmore range F012 is a touch panel and user interface board mismatch, usually from a wrong replacement part. Check the model number.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F012 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

F012 is a mismatch between the touch panel and the user interface control board. According to the manual, the code appears after you replace the touch panel or the user interface control board with the wrong part.
