Control board failure

Turn off the oven at the circuit breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power
If the error returns immediately, the electronic range control (ERC) board has an internal fault
Check all wire harness connections to the ERC board for secure contact
Inspect the board for visible burn marks, cracked solder joints, or swollen capacitors
Pro Diagnostic Tip
F1 is the most common oven error across Whirlpool Corporation brands. On Amana ranges, the ERC and touchpad are separate parts (unlike KitchenAid where they are combined). Try a dedicated outlet with surge protection before replacing the ERC — voltage fluctuations cause intermittent F1 codes.
