Error code F029
Appliance Range
Quick answer

Communication between the user interface board and the touch panel cannot be initiated. 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 F029 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 between the user interface board and the touch panel cannot be initiated.

F029 is the second half of a pair in the manual. It reports that the user interface board cannot initiate communication with the touch panel, on the Kenmore 790 freestanding range line, along with Kenmore Elite electric slide-in ranges (790.4255, 790.4131 and 790.5256).

Walk-through

  1. Disconnect the range’s power for 30 seconds, then reconnect it.
  2. When F029 comes back, cut power and look at the connections of the harness between the user interface control board and the touch panel. Fix loose wires; replace the harness if it is damaged.
  3. Replaced a board or panel lately? The part may not match your model number, so compare part numbers.
  4. No recent replacement and wiring in good shape: the touch panel is replaced.
  5. If it still fails, the user interface control board is replaced.

More codes to check

  • F028 is listed together with F029.
  • F023 is a communication failure on the same user interface board and touch panel link.
  • F025 is the relay board equivalent of cannot be initiated.
