Electrolux Range Code F23: No Link to the Convection Fan and Lights Board

Medium · inspection needed

Code: F23
Appliance: Range
Brand: Electrolux
Warranty: 30-day workmanship

What F23 means

On Electrolux ranges of the Wave-Touch and IQ-Touch type, among them the EW30IS65JS, EW30ES65GS and EW30GS65GS, F23 means the oven controller could not talk to the board that runs the convection fan and the oven lights. This applies to radiant and gas slide-ins as well as induction ones. The oven may stop running, and you may lose the lights or the convection fan. Ranges of this age are still in daily use in many homes, and we service them.

Common causes of F23

Wiring and connectors to the fan and lights board
Convection fan and lights control board
Oven control board

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press any key and see whether the code clears. 2. Leave the range unpowered for half a minute, at the plug or the breaker, and then switch it back on. 3. Check whether the oven light and convection fan work. 4. If F23 returns, do not use the oven until we have looked at it.

! Why to stop there

The code says the link to the fan and lights board is broken, which may be a connector, the board or the control, so we test the link first.
We check the other end of the connection as well.
You see the quote written down first, and if an older range is past the point of a sensible repair, we say so.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

F23F23 questions

Does F23 only happen on induction ranges?

No. It also shows on the radiant and gas slide-ins that use the same type of oven control. The fan and lights board is part of that design.

Why did my oven light go out with F23?

That one board runs both the oven lights and the convection fan, so when contact is lost, both can go dark. It is worth telling us if the lights went out first.

Does an older range justify this repair?

Often the cause is a connection or a board that costs less than a new range. We give the price first and speak plainly if the repair would not pay off.
