Recvd an F1 error on a 3 yr old Amana slide in range, plan to replace Control board (part# AP3464263).
Do I also need to replace 2 thermistors (part #s AP3757728)?

This is for a Whirlpool F1 code, but that code means the same on virtually all brands. Try this:
You have either a bad ERC (clock) or a bad touch pad. Here is the procedure for determining your problem.
[LIST=1]

  • Disconnect power to stove
  • Gain access to the back of the clock (electronic range control or ERC).
  • Unplug the touch pad ribbon connector from the ERC. This will be a flat wire apx. 1 1/2" to 2" wide.
  • Make sure everything is clear and will not short out when power is turned back on.
  • Turn power back on to stove.
  • Watch for codes and listen for the beep.
  • If you get a code and beep, replace the ERC.
  • If after apx. 30 minutes you do NOT get the F1 and hear the beep, replace the touch pad.
    NOTE: Some models incorporate the touch pad and the clock as one part.[/LIST]

I followed the advice on the F1 error as written. After disconnecting the membrane switch pad, the beep stopped and F1 error went away. I replaced the membrane instead of the ERC and saved $100. Everything working fine!:slight_smile:

Glad you saved some $$! And got it going too.
