Jenn-Air Oven / Range Error Code F5

The F5 error code on your Jenn-Air Oven or Range signals that the power to the element relays has been disabled during the cook mode. This interruption can stem from two primary sources, necessitating a careful diagnosis for effective resolution:

1. Intermittent Oven Temperature Sensor or Wire Harness: The oven temperature sensor plays a crucial role in monitoring and regulating the cooking environment. An intermittent issue with this sensor or its associated wire harness can disrupt the communication between the sensor and the control board, triggering the F5 error.
2. Intermittent Contact on Power Relay Board: The power relay board acts as the command center for directing power to various components, including the heating elements. If there’s an intermittent contact on the power relay board, it can result in the disabling of power to the element relays during the cook mode, leading to the F5 error.

For Intermittent Oven Temperature Sensor or Wire Harness:

• Inspect the oven temperature sensor and its wiring for any visible damage or loose connections.
• Use a multimeter to measure the resistance of the oven temperature sensor. If the readings are erratic or out of the normal range, it may indicate a faulty sensor.
• Ensure the wire harness is securely connected to both the sensor and the control board.

For Intermittent Contact on Power Relay Board:

• Examine the power relay board for signs of damage, such as burnt areas or loose components.
• Carefully inspect the relay contacts for any corrosion or irregularities.
• If possible, perform continuity tests on the relay contacts to identify intermittent contact issues.

If the troubleshooting steps prove challenging or if you’re uncertain about conducting these assessments, it is advisable to seek the expertise of a qualified technician. Professional diagnosis and repair may be necessary to address the F5 error and restore your Jenn-Air Oven/Range to optimal functionality.

By understanding the intricacies of the F5 error code and systematically approaching its resolution, you can embark on a path to a seamlessly operating appliance.
