Error code F018
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Kenmore range F018 is a relay control board failure. Disconnect power and call for service.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F018 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

Relay control board failure.

F018 on a Kenmore range

F018 signals a relay control board failure on Kenmore freestanding ranges with 790 model numbers and Kenmore Elite electric slide-in ranges, models 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256.

What the manual says

The remedy: disconnect electrical power to the range and replace the relay control board. That is a technician repair, so disconnect power and call.
