KitchenAid Oven/Range F9 Error Code

The oven temperature has exceeded the safe limit.

Common causes

  • Shorted oven temperature sensor
  • Main control board failure (relay stuck)
  • Oven heating element stuck on

How to fix it

  1. Immediately turn off the range at the circuit breaker.
  2. Allow the oven to cool completely.
  3. Inspect the oven temperature sensor for damage or shorts (test resistance).
  4. If sensor is shorted (near 0 ohms), replace it.
  5. If sensor is okay, the control board likely needs replacement.
⚠ When to call a pro: Do not use the oven until repaired; call a technician if sensor replacement does not fix it.
