Plain language
What thiscode means
F17 is an electronic oven control board failure on Kenmore glass touch and Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel ranges.
F17 is a short story: the oven control board has failed, and the manual’s answer is a reset followed by a replacement if needed.
Which Kenmore ranges
The electric freestanding range with glass touch panel control, and the Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel ranges, models 790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275 and 790.4276.
What to try
Unplug the range for 30 seconds and plug it back in to restore power; on the Elite slide-in models the wording is to disconnect electrical power, wait 30 seconds and restore it. Nothing else is asked of the owner. If F17 appears again, the oven control board has to be replaced by a technician.
