KitchenAid Range Code 1c4c: Oven control wiring flag

What 1c4c means

The code 1c4c belongs to the group of KitchenAid range codes that indicate there may be a problem with the oven control or the associated wiring. It is printed in lower case on the display, and the manufacturer does not tie it to any single model. If the oven stops heating or the clock goes blank around the time it appears, that matches the control area.

Common causes of 1c4c

Oven control with an internal problem
Wiring between the control and other range parts
Control that needs a fresh start after interference

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Switch the oven off at the pad. 2. Check that nothing is leaning on the range controls. 3. Turn the breaker off for a minute and on again. 4. Try a short low-temperature bake. 5. Should 1c4c reappear, leave the oven off and phone us.

! Why to stop there

The control is a sealed electronic assembly that needs a proper meter to judge.
Wiring problems can look the same as control problems from the front panel.
We write the price down before starting and warrant our work for 30 days.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

1c4c1c4c questions

What should I look for when 1c4c shows?

Notice whether the oven heats, whether the clock stays lit and whether the display keeps the code after a reset. Tell us what you saw when you call; it helps us prepare for the visit.

Could a power surge cause it?

A surge can upset electronics, so a breaker reset is a fair first step. If the code returns afterward, the oven control or its wiring needs testing by a technician.

Is the range dangerous to use?

The surface burners can usually still be used with care, but we recommend leaving the oven off until we check the control. Turn the breaker off if you notice a burning smell.
