Hi, I have a Magic Chef oven model 9495XRB. It is 9 years old. Like the F1 code, I keep getting the F2 code. It goes through spells of the fan clicking on and off. 3 times now in the middle of the night or when we are gone I get F2 and it beeps. Service came today and told us we need a new touchpad and an extimate was $382. Is this reasonable and is this the fix for that code. Thanks. Elizabeth

Hello Elizabeth. Welcome to my Gas Appliances forum and our Do-It-Yourself Web Site.
Chances are the computerized control board is defective. Try unplugging the appliance for several hours and then plug it back in. Power failures can cause error codes. The circuit board may reset but not very likely.
If unplugging the appliance from the electrical power source fails to resolve the problem, remove the board and take it to the local appliance parts store. Retail parts dealers can help determine what the possible problem may be.
Take the make, model and serial numbers and stop in at the store. The info will also help to determine the possible problem causes. Parts dealers are listed in the phone book under appliances.
F0 - F1 - F7 Code Condition Check or Repair is Required.
Determining if the problem is within the Key Panel or Control by trying this procedure:
First: Push the CLEAR/OFF button on the control pad.
Second: Disconnect the Ribbon Cable from control module. Waiting at least 1 minute, then reconnect.
If the code recurs the problem is in the control. Replacing the control is requred.
If code does not recur, problem is with the Key Panel.
If the keypad is stuck it may mean the relay is turned on.

F5 - E0 F5 - E1 and E2 - Check door/latch switch - Replace component.
Range/Stove Oven Fault Codes, Most Common:
F5 - E0 F5 - E1 and E2 - Check door/latch switch - Replace switch, if defective.
Range/Stove/Oven Fault Codes:
F1 - Defective touch pad or membrane - Replace touch pad or membrane. This problem is usually the touch pad.
F1 - Watchdog on board - Replace touch pad or clock assembly (also called the ERC)
F1 - Power to element relay energized during time of day display - Wiring harness shorted or change power relay board (PRB)
Note: for double ovens, change second oven board.
How to test many brands of Ranges that are flashing a F1 fault code: You may 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.
After approx. 30 minutes you do NOT get the F1 and hear the beep, replace the touch pad.
Carefully check the wires to and from the oven temp sensor.
