Error code F13
Appliance Range
Quick answer

F13 is a control memory fault on 790-prefix Kenmore ranges and a control board failure on slide-in and glass touch models.

Model compatibility

Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F13 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

F13 is an EEPROM identification or internal memory checksum fault, or a failure of the oven control board, depending on the range.

F13 means the memory inside the oven control has a problem, or on some models that the control board itself has failed.

What it means on each range

On 790-prefix self-cleaning electric ranges (2004 and newer) and the 2014 self-cleaning models, the manual names a faulty Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM) identification or an internal memory checksum error. On the Elite slide-in electric range starting 790.4671, the Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel ranges (790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275, 790.4276) and the glass touch freestanding electric range, it is listed as an oven control board failure.

Steps in the manual

  1. Disconnect electrical power.
  2. Wait 30 seconds.
  3. Restore power.

If the code comes back, the manual replaces the oven control board. On the 790-prefix ranges the keypad belongs to the same board assembly.

Related Kenmore range codes
