Quick answer
F19 on a Kenmore Elite 721 electric or double-oven gas range means the lower oven is not heating.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F19 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
F19 means the lower oven is not heating on Kenmore Elite 721 electric and double-oven gas ranges.
F19 on a Kenmore Elite range with 721-prefix model numbers means the lower oven is not heating. The electric and the double-oven gas versions have different checks.
Electric range
Start by seeing whether the upper oven elements and the surface burners heat. If nothing heats, the range may be getting only 120 volts instead of 240 volts, so go to the house breaker panel and reset both circuit breakers for the range. It is often hard to tell which one tripped. If the elements still stay cold, unplug the range and check the power cord wires on the terminal block, reconnecting any that are loose and replacing a damaged cord. Beyond that the manual says a technician is needed, because live voltage checks are dangerous if done wrongly.
If only the lower oven stays cold, unplug the range and check the wire harness connections between the lower bake element and the relay control board. A technician measures the bake element and the lower oven temperature sensor.
Gas range
Turn on a surface burner to see whether gas reaches the range. If not, open the range gas supply valve. If the burner lights, the lower oven bake igniter is the next suspect: it should glow white-hot when the lower oven bake starts. Gas valve and igniter testing belongs to a technician.
