KitchenAid appliance repair on Oahu
Check the first letter of the model number. A 2019 CPSC notice tied models starting with K to KitchenAid, W to Whirlpool and J to JennAir, which tells you whose help pages and recalls apply. We repair KitchenAid ovens, ranges, dishwashers and refrigerators across Oahu.
Wall oven codes
KitchenAid oven F codes and the parts behind them
| Code | What KitchenAid suspects | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| F1 | The oven temperature sensor, the control board, or the wiring that links them | Breaker off for one minute, back on, then watch one more minute |
| F5 | The door latch assembly or the latch switches | The latch and its switches get tested if the reset fails |
| F2 E0, F3 E0, F4, FC E1 to E9 | Keypad, upper cavity sensor, cavity control, app connection | The full table is on our KitchenAid oven repair page |
Not a fault
Why does a KitchenAid set to 350 show 325 after preheat?
Usually because convection conversion is doing its job: on models with the feature, the oven lowers a standard recipe temperature for convection baking. A display reading Sab, 5A6 or 5Ab is a different case, Sabbath Mode, and neither one is a failed part. Both are explained on our KitchenAid oven repair page.
Find the tag
Where KitchenAid hides the model number
KitchenAid puts the tag in a different spot on almost every product. Find it first; recalls and code tables are matched by model.

Ovens and settings
On some connected KitchenAid ranges and wall ovens, yes: features such as air fry arrive through an over-the-air update in the KitchenAid app.
Rack position 3 in a five-position oven, or 4 in a seven-position oven. Put a tray on the same rack or the one just below to catch drips. The optional basket is part W11548747, so order that number rather than a generic basket.
Sabbath Mode is on.
Read the rating plate under the cooktop. The August 28, 2019 notice covered about 26,300 glass touch-control cooktops built December 2016 through July 2019, KCES950H and KCES956H among them, because surface elements could switch on by themselves. Whirlpool counted 133 incident reports, four fires and two minor burns. If yours matches, stop using it and follow the CPSC notice before booking any repair.
Both belong to Whirlpool Corporation, and the range colors came from the team behind the mixer palette. The small appliance side has its main plant in Greenville, Ohio.

Ranges, recalls and the brand
Ultra Power dual-flame burners rated at 20,000 BTU, a 5,000 BTU simmer and melt burner, and three-level convertible grates. The dual fuel version pairs those gas burners with an electric oven, so a burner fault and an oven fault are separate jobs. Widths are 30, 36 and 48 inches, with four or six burners.
Yes. Our KitchenAid refrigerator page covers the brand's ice settings, and the ice maker not making ice page walks through the checks for any fridge.
Whirlpool Corporation dates itself to 1911 and runs ten U.S. and four Mexican manufacturing operations in North America.
No. KitchenAid's first move for every F code is the breaker: off for one minute, back on, then a minute of watching. A code that returns needs the part tested; see KitchenAid oven repair.
Yes. See our Kahala and Hawaii Kai pages for what we find in kitchens there.
