What FEE7 Means
FEE7 names the main cavity broil element or the associated wiring. The broil element is the upper one, used for grilling and for part of the heat during preheating on many models.
Common Causes of FEE7
- Broil element burned through
- Element terminal connection burned
- Wiring to the element damaged
- Control relay not switching the element
🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try
With the oven cool, look at the upper element for blistering, a break or a scorched section. Press Cancel to clear the code, then switch the range off at its breaker for a minute, restore power, and start a bake cycle to see whether it returns. Then test bake and broil separately and note which works - baking normally while broiling fails matches this code. If preheating has also become slower than it used to be, mention that, because the broil element contributes to preheat on many ranges and a failure there shows up that way first.
⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That
- A range runs on a high-current circuit and its control sits behind a panel with live terminals.
- Element terminals carry high current behind the rear panel.
- Let the cavity cool completely before reaching inside; a recently used oven stays hot for a long time.
Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.
