I pwn a JTP56 GE built-in oven (~3 yrs old). I have recently started getting F errors. It started with F0. I opened the oven face and found the "troubleshooting sheet" that gave possible errors and also the the proper resistance for each contact/button circuit. According to this "Ohm" check the Clear/Off button on the keypad was bad. I went ahead and did the pink pencil eraser trick and WOW it worked... but for only a week or so. That's when I discovered this site. Since then I have tried removing the ribbon, and powering it back up (the 24 hour test) as mentioned here
http://fixitnow.com/...ge-built-in.htm
When I powered the system back up, the code immediately goes to F7. Can any one help me pinpoint the error, or am I out the keypad + ERC? :X:X:X
Thanks in advance!

The fact that you're getting the F7 even with the keypad disconnected tells me the problem is not contained to the touchpanel.
You need both the touch panel and the ERC.

My sincere apologies O'Exalted Grand Master of Appliantology.
The error after the 24hr test is actually an F0. Do you know if there has been a re-engineering/re-design of either of these parts or can I expect a $300+ parts bill every few years?
FYI: This error began the day after our last self-clean cycle.
PS: Did I tell you that I make my own beer? HOw can I send you some? Current Batch (currently lagering) Marzen or Oktoberfest beer that was brewed in March.

Ok, so F0 with the touchpanel disconnected means bad ERC. F7 with the touchpanel connected means bad touchpanel. So, again, you need both the ERC and the touchpanel. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and use that form to buy your parts.

I ordered the touchpanel and ERC saturday afternoon. I still can't believe that I am putting almost $300 dollars into a 3 year old $2000 oven. I will definatlely have second thoughts on GE appliances when we build our next home. From what I have read on the web, I am not the only disgruntled GE oven owner. 
Thanks for the advice!
I'll let you know how the installation goes...

I'm a little confused by the fourth post on this string. If the purpose of the disconnect test is to determine if the F7 code is caused by a bad keypad (F7 does not re-appear) or by the ERC (F7 does re-appear) why does the appearance of F0 automatically mean both are bad?
The reason I ask is that I'm experiencing just that problem. On my GE Profile dual oven (Model JTP56WOW2WW) we started getting the intermittent F7 error. Did the pink eraser test with no improvement. Attempted the disconnect test but upon reapplying power I got an F0 error within 5 minutes. Very repeatable.
Is it possible that a problem with the ERC is causing the F7 error when connected to the keypad and the F0 error when disconnected? Or is that for some reason impossible?
Thanks for the advice oh knowledgable one.

I have a similar problem with the same GE Model. Mine is an electric double oven wall unit, JTP56 CD1CC. I started getting the F0 error a little while ago. The unit beeps regularly, and occasionally gives me an F0, which goes away if I push Off.
The funny thing is that the ovens still operates ok, especially when the unit has been sitting with the power off (at the breaker) and I don't operate it too hot.
Just last night I disconnected the ribbon cable, and got the F0 error right at 5 minutes. Does this mean I need a new ERC, or ERC+keypad? And why does the silly thing still operate with a bad ERC?
Thanks.

If you got F0 with the touch pad attached as well as detached then I would say it is your ERC that is bad. If you saw just one F7 during all this I would replace both the touch pad and the ERC.
It is nice when they error like that consistently so you can experiment and pinpoint the problem. Most of the time they error intermittently.

noooo, when you disconnect the keypad, especialy on the newer ones f-o will come up as a communication problem, ie-pad not found.

Does F0 = pad not found on this grasshopper's JTP5600 series wall oven?

yeah, it should. he got f-0, [communication problem] pad shorted or open. then when he disconnected pad he got same thing, which led to his confusion. i don't agree with this "test". f-0- change the keypad. i never had a bad erc with this problem. when erc goes bad it usally does weird things like can't control temp. and sensor o.k.

Thank You for sharing this most astounding revelation with us. The casual observer might think that if the ERC issues the same error (F0) with the keypad attached as well as detached that the problem lies within the ERC itself and not the keypad. Surely the Force must be with you for you to so boldly point out that this is incorrect and that the problem lies within the keypad. May the Force continue to guide you and shine favorably upon you in your quest for oneness with the Force. Do you work for a somewhat larger firm? Are there twenty or more technicians on your crew?

Hi, I have a GE jks05 oven that is also flashing the f7 error. I decided to do a bit of research on the net before calling GE to repair the oven. When I bought the house the previous error had just had the electronic timer replaced and that was 3 years ago. It is still covered under a 5 year warranty.
First question is, is there anything I can try to reset the oven other than turning off the breaker which I have done?
Second question, this oven was installed 12/98, about 8 years ago. Whats the average life of a product such as this?
Any help or advice will be appreciatted!
Thanks
Aaron

I have a newer (maybe 2002...)GE electric double wall oven (Kenmore, actually - made by GE).
FO fault code started late summer 2005. I could clear it for a while (week or so), then had to pull the breaker. I replaced the control panel once. No fault codes for approximately 2 months or so (can't actually remember). Started up again. With repairclinic.com's great guarantee, I replaced the control panel again yesterday with yet another new one. FO and incessant beeping started within 10 minutes!!! Grrrrrr...
This morning, based on reading this site, I tried pulling (gently, of course) the ribbon cable. Upon return of power, beeping and FO were immediate, with ribbon cable disconnected.
After reading this thread, I'm a little confused (I'm a female with no repair experience at all, although the control panel was pretty straightforward with using lots of pre-disconnect close-up digital pictures to guide me through the re-connections!!!! :) )
Anyway, do I or do I NOT try replacing the touch pad part? Or should I just get a new freakin' oven (non-GE, of course!!!) I hate GE, I've always hated GE...too bad this beast came with the house!!!!
Thanks for any help!
Regards,
Michelle
