What your KitchenAid oven or range is telling you

Codes from KitchenAid’s online Product Help articles for freestanding and slide-in ranges. Wall ovens use some of the same codes with different meanings, so these entries apply to ranges only; KitchenAid commercial-style ranges have their own code pages and are not covered here.

That code isn’t on this list. It may be specific to your model, so call or text me at (480) 292-4746 with the code and model number.

When to call me

If the safe check doesn’t clear the code, or the same code keeps coming back, the oven or range needs a real diagnosis. Error codes point to the system that failed, not always the exact part, so I test before I replace anything.

Never open panels, bypass a safety switch or work on gas or wiring yourself. Unplug the appliance or turn off its breaker if you smell burning or see water near electrical parts.

Where These Codes Come From

I checked every code on this page against KitchenAid’s own documentation on October 18, 2026, and left out any code I couldn’t confirm there. Meanings can differ between models and model years, so your owner’s manual or the tech sheet inside your oven or range has the final word for your exact model.
