Pro Diagnostic Tip
F1 is the ERC detecting an internal fault — it differs from F0 (stuck key) in that the ERC cannot identify which key. If both F0 and F1 appear in code history, start with ERC replacement. GE Profile induction ranges have a separate induction control board — do not confuse with the ERC.
