KitchenAid Wall Oven Code 1c8c: Last of the oven control family

What 1c8c means

The lower-case code 1c8c on KitchenAid wall ovens and combination wall ovens indicates the oven control or its associated wiring. It closes out the 1c family listing and shares its meaning with the earlier codes. You will see it in the display, typically with no heat, and the keypad may seem to accept presses without effect. It can come on while the oven sits idle.

Common causes of 1c8c

Oven control that has stopped functioning properly
Wiring that is loose, pinched or damaged

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Press Cancel and check the display. 2. Turn off the breaker for one full minute and restore power. 3. Try a plain bake at a low temperature. 4. If 1c8c returns, call us instead of repeating the reset. 5. Write down the code.

! Why to stop there

Controls and their wiring are behind panels with live voltage.
A wrong replacement costs more than a correct test.
Written price before work, and a 30-day workmanship warranty after.

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.
