Quick answer
F60 on Kenmore Elite 790 slide-in gas and dual-fuel ranges points to the cooling fan and wiring.
Model compatibility
Kenmore reuses codes across series and model years, so F60 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
F60 means the oven control board is too hot.
F60 on a Kenmore Elite slide-in gas or dual-fuel range tells you the oven control board is too hot. It applies to models 790.3263, 790.3264, 790.4260, 790.4261, 790.4275 and 790.4276.
Start with the cooling fan
The chart’s first question is whether the cooling fan is running. If it is not, disconnect electrical power and check the wiring between the fan and the oven control board. Loose wires are reconnected and damaged wires are replaced. When the wiring turns out to be fine, the cooling fan itself is replaced.
Watching or listening for the fan is an easy owner check. Work on the wiring and the fan is for a technician.
