Good day all!
This has us baffled. We did the F1 diagnostic to determine whether or not our GE has a bad touchpad or a bad ERC. The oven did not flash/beep F1 so we concluded that the problem was a bad touchpad. Just had the touchpad replaced yesterday and the oven is still beeping F1 error and clicks after the oven has been used.
I'm wondering if it's a bad sensor. Just a thought, but I thought sensor because it beeps/clicks as the oven is trying to cool down, not while in use.
Any thoughts?

Possible the cause of the problem is a bad sensor wire harness and/or plug. I'm not able to provide more accurate advise because the model number you posted does not come up.

Thanks Gene for your quick and helpful reply. I remember checking the ohms and they appeared to be ok a month or so ago when we were diagnosing the problem. Would the wires/plug still be at fault if the ohms read correctly?
I noticed last night, as my husband and I used only the cooktop, the range still made clicking noises.
As for the model number, that is the number. It's a GE made in Canada, so that probably is the world of difference. The range is an electronic True-Temp Convection Self-Clean with Smart Set Controls. Approx 5-10 yrs old. I'm sorry I cannot offer more info.
If it were the wires/plug, what should I be checking for? How do I replace?

My advise is based on American models only and it could be not as accurate as I wish.
Locate the two sensor wires plugged into the control board and measure the sensor resistance at this plug. It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.
If the reading is correct then the ERC has to be replaced.
If the reading is wrong then go to the back of the oven and measure the sensor resistance at the sensor plug (where it's coming through the wall).
If the reading is correct then the problem is a bad wire harness from the sensor to the control board and/or the sensor plug at the wall.
Gene.
