Error code F017
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Kenmore range F017: the user interface board cannot configure the touch panel. See the reset and harness steps from the manual.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F017 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

User interface board is unable to configure the touch panel.

F017 tells you the user interface board is unable to configure the touch panel. Kenmore documents it for 790 freestanding ranges and Elite electric slide-ins (790.4131, 790.4255, 790.5256).

Manual sequence

  1. Power cycle: disconnect, wait 30 seconds, reconnect.
  2. Code back? Disconnect power and inspect the wire harness connections between the touch panel and the user interface control board. Loose wires get reconnected; a damaged harness gets replaced.
  3. Replaced the board or the panel recently? The wrong part may be installed, so match the part number to your range model number.
  4. No part replaced and connections okay: the user interface control board is replaced.
  5. Problem still there: the touch panel is replaced.

On the Elite slide-in these parts are the oven user interface control board and the touch control panel.
