high severity
Frigidaire models: The temperature probe mounts at the rear cavity wall. Frigidaire Ready-Select capacitive touch controls can lock up after surges — power-cycle before replacing the board. Gallery series models with QuickClean enamel are more susceptible to F7 latch-code faults if self-clean is used frequently.
Common causes
- A touchpad key is stuck or shorted
- Membrane touchpad has deteriorated
- Control board detecting phantom key presses
Step-by-step fix
- Power cycle (flip the breaker for 5 minutes).
- If F1 returns at power-on, a key is stuck — press each key and feel for one that doesn't spring back clearly.
- If the touchpad is a ribbon-connected membrane, inspect the ribbon connector for moisture ingression.
- Replace the touchpad if a stuck key is confirmed.
