Possible Causes
Stuck keypad button, Moisture behind control fascia, Failed touch membrane, Faulty electronic oven control board
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power at the mains before removing any control panel screws.
- Reset the control: Isolate power for 5 minutes, then restore. Sometimes the fault clears if caused by a temporary keypad glitch.
- Check for stuck buttons: Press each button firmly and release, ensuring none are jammed. Clean around buttons with a slightly damp cloth, then dry.
- Look for moisture: If F1 appeared after heavy cleaning or a spill, allow the control area to dry for several hours with power off.
- Inspect control fascia (technician): Remove the control panel and check the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board. Reseat if loose.
- Replace keypad or EOC: If the membrane or board is defective, replace with the correct Montpellier part number.
