IKEA IGL730CS0The IKEA IGL730C doesn’t seem to get a lot of fanfare, but I think it should. It’s a solid range that has all the features, and it’s dependable. 

But like you’ve heard me say before, all things break eventually. One thing to remember about gas ranges is this: “A clean machine is a happy machine!” 

I know it sounds silly, and it’s supposed to be so you remember to keep things clean and I promise you’ll see much better performance. 

So, enough about stuff you already know or should know, right? 

Let’s take a look at stuff you might not know…yet. Error codes, that is. And as always, if you want to know even more, set up an appointment and we’ll walk you through the problem and how to fix it. 

This is a Whirlpool made slide-in range with some great features, but along with features comes the occasional issue. But guess what? The vast majority of them are caused directly by built-up food and grease. 

If the oven or cooktop won’t light, check the ignitors and the burner heads on the cooktop. Clean them and try again. Maybe the oven won’t light within 55 seconds? Check the ignitor. Easy things to check for that could save the holiday dinner. 

But if you’re a typical DIYer, you have a technical mind and want to know more about the workings of your range. I don’t blame you. That’s why today’s edition of the DIY Appliance Repair series dives into the error codes for the IGL730C so you’re more prepared for whatever comes along. Ready? Here goes…

IGL730CS0 Gas Range Error Codes

Enter the Diagnostics Mode by pressing CANCEL>CANCEL>START within 5 seconds. Cancel this mode by pressing CANCEL at any time. 

Press the number “3” or “6” keys to advance to the “FAULTS” screen.

 

F1E0 – EEPROM Communication Error

The main control is locked up due to an unexpected communication event. This is often corrected by cycling power. 

  1. Cycle power to the range (wait 30 seconds before reapplying power). If the error code reappears, go to Step 2. If the error code does not reappear after 120 seconds, go to Step 6.
  2. Unplug range or disconnect power.
  3. Replace main control board.
  4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  5. Plug in range or reconnect power.
  6. Verify operation is normal. Enter the diagnostic mode to view the “Faults” screen. Press START TIME or DELAY START to clear each Fault code(s).

F2E0 – Keypad Disconnected

The main control no longer sees the keypad.

  1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
  2. Inspect keypad connection to main control (connector P12). If connection is loose/unplugged, reconnect.
  3. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  4. Plug in range or reconnect power. Allow 60 seconds for main control to identify the keypad. If the error code reappears, go to Step 5. If the error code does not reappear, go to Step 9.
  5. Unplug range or disconnect power. Inspect keypad connector, keypad cable, and main control connector P12 for signs of damage (cracked locking tab, bent pins, etc.). If damage is found, go to Step 8.
  6. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  7. Plug in range or reconnect power. Allow 60 seconds for main control to identify the keypad. If the error code reappears, go to Step 8. If the error code does not reappear, go to Step 9.
  8. Replace components in the following order of likelihood of failure:
  1. Keypad cable
  2. Keypad
  3. Main control
  4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  5. Plug in range or reconnect power
  6. Verify operation is normal. Enter the diagnostic mode to view the “Faults” screen. Press START TIME or DELAY START to clear each Fault code(s).

F2E1 – Stuck Keypad 

A keypad has been pressed for an extended period of time. This could be the result of the user pressing a keypad for too long.

  1. Disconnect power to the range (wait 30 seconds before reapplying power). If the error code reappears, go to Step 2. If the error code does not reappear after 120 seconds, go to Step 6.
  2. Unplug range or disconnect power.
  3. Replace the keypad.
  4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  5. Plug in range or reconnect power
  6. Verify operation is normal. Enter the diagnostic mode to view the “Faults” screen. Press START TIME or DELAY START to clear each Fault code(s).

  3. Disconnect control board connector P10. Measure resistance across P10-3 and P10-4. At room temperature, the thermal sensor should read between 1000Q and 1200Q . Reconnect P10. If test results are good, go to Step 4. If test results are not correct, go to Step 9.
  4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  5. Plug in range or reconnect power

The affected oven will be locked out until the control detects an oven temperature less than 601 °F (316°C).

  1. Enter Diagnostics Mode by pressing

CANCEL>CANCEL>START within 5 seconds. Oven temperature is displayed on the screen. Manually check the oven for heat.

Oven Temp Troubleshooting Chart

  1. Unplug range or disconnect power. Inspect control board connector P10 for a backed out terminal or loose connection. If found, reconnect or replace the harness and go to Step 5. If not, go to Step 3.
  2. Disconnect control board connector P10. Measure resistance across P10-3 and P10-4 (main oven) and P10-1 and P10-2 (drawer). At room temperature, the thermal sensor should read between 1000Q and 1200Q . Reconnect P10. If test results are good, replace the control board, and go to Step 5. If results are not correct, go to Step 4.
  3. Disconnect the oven sensor from the wiring harness and measure resistance across the sensor terminals. Resistance reading should be between 1000Q and 1200Q. If test results are good, replace the wiring harness between the sensor and the control board, go to Step 5. If test results are not correct, replace the sensor and go to Step 5.
  4. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
  5. Plug in range or reconnect power.
  6. Verify operation is normal. Enter the diagnostic mode to view the “Faults” screen. Press START TIME or DELAY START to clear each Fault code(s).

F8E0 – Cooling Fan Speed Too Low

  1. Unplug range or disconnect power.
  2. Pull the range forward and remove the top access cover.
  3. Verify there are no obstructions in the blower. If there is an obstruction, remove it and go to Step 6. If no obstructions, go to Step 4.
  4. Disconnect control board connector P5 and check the fan motor for 105Q resistance between P5-1 and P6-3. If the motor test is not good, replace the motor and go to Step 6. If the motor tests good, go to Step 5.
  5. Check the Hall Sensor by removing the control board P7 connector and testing for 5 VDC between P7-7 and P7-1.
    If the test is good, go to Step 6.
    If test results are not correct, replace the Hall Sensor.
  6. Replace all parts and panels before operating.
