Error code F023
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Communication failure between the user interface board and the touch panel. Here is what the owner's manual says to check on a Kenmore range.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F023 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

Communication failure between the user interface board and the touch panel.

When the display of a Kenmore range reads F023, the user interface board and the touch panel are no longer communicating. It applies to freestanding Kenmore ranges whose model numbers begin with 790; also electric slide-in Elite models 790.4131, 790.4255 and 790.5256.

Manual sequence

  1. Remove power from the range, count 30 seconds and switch it back on.
  2. If the code returns, inspect the harness connections between the user interface board and the touch panel. Loose wires get reconnected; a damaged harness gets replaced.
  3. If the harness checks out, the manual names the touch panel as the part to replace.
  4. Should F023 persist, the user interface control board is next.

Elite slide-in manuals use the words touch control panel and oven user interface board for the same two parts.

Related codes

  • F028 covers the same pair of parts, but communication cannot be initiated.
  • F015 is a touch panel failure.
  • F022 is the relay board counterpart of this communication fault.
