Kenmore stove

[Jim Radford]

Stove lights and immediatley goes out. Replaced igniter and igniter card already.  displays message E0-F0.

Model 665.72023102

You have a bad EEPROM chip on the main control board (clock). The tech sheet for your model is posted below, and it gives you the various error codes and what they mean.

Order yourself a clock on the left side of this page using your model number.

Thanks for a timely response.  I forgot to mention the broiler burner does still work.  Same solution?

There are probably a lot of details you did not mention but nevertheless, you follow the error code and what the tech sheet says. At least you have a diagram and the necessary info to do the testing yourself now. My impression is a failed control.

[Jim Radford]

Well I guess the devil may have been in the details.  I have now replaced the igniter, burner, the igniter control card(advice from the local repair person) and the main control card as has been suggested by this forum and still have the FO-EO error code.  The error code sheet shows F1-EO for the EEPROM failure and was the reason I didn't initially replace it.  As is evident I'm about at the cost of a new stove and still doesn't work. Any new suggestions? 

[Repair-man]

Where are you getting parts from? The clock is obviously not working right.

Bought the parts as suggested from the link to the left.

[Jim Radford]

Well- replaced the control board again and still have the EO-FO error and the oven will not stay lit. Surely odds are against another bad control board.  I've looked at all of the wiring and don't see any open, burnt or damaged wiring. Any new ideas.  As stated before this has gotten very expensive I'm about ready to throw the thing away and buy new to be done with it except I have too much money in it now. Replacement parts again from the link on the left.

Thanks in Advance
Jim

If you have double checked all connections, was the key pad replaced?

[Jim Radford]

I haven't replaced the keypad.  Is this a possible cause or are we just to the point of parts replacing?  Is the same error code given as for the control board?

[niobrara]

Very possible cause ,says it in the tech manuel Repairman set up for you.But you can test the pad with a meter.Or follow the service tests in the manual.Sometimes it is easy to get upset in doing repairs,and even if we follow the manuals we sometimes miss whats wrong.You may have a bad board,yes I know its new.Just check the key pad.You have worked on it this long,put it to bed.

might just be corrosion on the ribbon connection

[Jim Radford]

Ordered a new keypad and verified no corrosion on the ribbon cable.  Thanks for the additional input.  Won't have new part for a few days.

Thanks
Jim

[Jim Radford]

Replaced the keypad today.  Still FO-EO error code and oven lights and goes right back out.  Running out of parts to replace.  What an expensive adventure this has been.  I have a repairman scheduled out from Sears the 22nd.  Will be interesting to see him try to resell me all of these parts all over again.  Only thing I can think of is the second control board is bad as well(bad batch) Any new ideas?
