Hello,
I just bought a house and inherited a Magic Chef gas range, model number 3488VRV.
After using the range for ten minutes or so, it starts beeping and the display shows, F1. If I press the stop/clear button, the beeping stops, and the F! disapears, but about ten minutes later, the same thing happens again.
I would also like to obtain a copy of the users manual for this range.
Any ideas how to fix this, or where I could get a copy of the owners manual?
Thanks,
Serge

Hi,
Some common F1 troubles....
A copy...
*How to test many brands of Ranges that are flashing a F1 fault code: You have either a bad ERC (clock) or a bad touch pad.
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 approx. 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 the F1 and listen for the beep.
If you get the F1 and beep, replace the ERC.
If after approx. 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.*
Yours appears to be 2 seperate pieces...
Depending on the "series" of your range...
