Quick answer
F14 is a lost connection between the oven control board and the touch panel on Elite slide-in and glass touch Kenmore ranges.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F14 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 thiscode means
F14 is a communication error between the oven control board and the touch control panel.
F14 tells you the touch panel and the oven control board are no longer talking to each other.
Ranges that show it
The Elite slide-in electric range with model numbers starting 790.4671 and the Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel ranges (790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275, 790.4276) report a communication error between the oven control board and the touch control panel. The Kenmore glass touch electric range describes it as the glass touch panel being disconnected from the electronic oven control board.
What the manual says to do
On the Elite slide-in models, disconnect electrical power and check the wiring connections between the touch control panel and the oven control board, then reconnect loose wires. If the wiring is fine, the oven control board is replaced; on the electric slide-in, a problem that continues leads to a new touch control panel as well.
On the glass touch range, unplug it and look at the wire harness connection between the glass touch panel and the electronic oven control board. A sound harness points to the glass touch panel, and if the code resumes after that swap, the electronic oven control board.
