KitchenAid Range Code 1c31: Oven control and wiring

What 1c31 means

When a KitchenAid range displays 1c31, the message in this lower-case code family is that there may be a problem with the oven control or its associated wiring. The code belongs to a group of nearby entries, among them 1c32, that all name the oven control. Owners typically find the oven will not heat or the display freezes on the code.

Common causes of 1c31

Oven control board not working properly
Wiring leading to the oven control
Control that locks up after a power event

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Turn off the oven and every burner. 2. Leave the range alone for a few minutes. 3. Switch the range breaker off for one minute, then restore it. 4. Set a short bake and watch the display. 5. If 1c31 returns, stop baking and call us.

! Why to stop there

The oven control is electronics that need proper testing, not parts swapping.
Opening the rear of the range exposes live wiring, which is for technicians.
We state the price in writing first and give a 30-day workmanship warranty.

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.

1c311c31 questions

Does 1c31 mean the oven control is dead?

It means there may be a problem with the oven control or its wiring. A technician tests both before deciding, so the control is not assumed to be dead.

Can the stovetop be used?

The code concerns the oven control. If the burners respond normally you may use them with care, but avoid the oven and call us if anything else looks wrong.

What does a visit involve?

We check the control and its wiring, tell you what we find and give a written price before any work. The repair carries a 30-day workmanship warranty.
