Has A F1-8 Error…
I Replaced The Electronic Control Board Still Has Error…
I Am Able To Cook Up Top But Cant Get The Oven To Function Please Help. Thanks
Here are your parts

Here is the tech sheet and manual

Error does come up as a shorted key on the keypad (Item 2 in Section3).
But the fix section says to check for opens so I am not sure that it may also be an open key. You may want to try the below on the keypad.
Bit of a long shot but worth a try.
If it does nothing then I would check the individual keys at the pin-outs/ribbon cable (see the tech sheet). If you find a shorted one then you know for sure that the keypad is the problem.
Connector Cleaning / Checking
Unplug the unit
Open it up
Remove the ribbon cable from the keypad to the control board at the control board.
Clean the edge connector.
If it is the type where there is not a connector just the insulation is removed, it can be cleaned with a pencil eraser. Do not use an ink eraser as it is too abrasive.
Check the tracks in the ribbon cable for hairline cracks. A magnifying glass helps here.
Would not hurt to clean the connector on the board. Use electronics contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol and a tooth brush. Be gentle and do not reconnect till all the solvent evaporates. You may have to use this procedure on the keypad ribbon cable, depends on the type of connectror used.
Reconnect everything and give it a try.
If you do not own a meter, I would suggest you purchase a one. You can get a decent digital multimeter for under $20.00. You do not need fancy though it is nice if the leads are a couple feet long.
If it saves ordering one unnecessary part it has paid for itself and you end up owning a useful tool.
Most places will not let you return electrical parts so if you order it, you own it.
A couple things to watch when measuring ohms and continuity
- Always remove power from the machine otherwise you could blow your meter.
- Always disconnect at least one side of any device you are checking. This eliminates the possibility of measuring an alternate/parallel circuit path.
- When checking for closed contacts and continuity use the lowest scale (Usually 200 ohms). Then try higher scales. This scale is 0 to 200 ohms so if the device you are measuring is 300 ohms this scale would show an open circuit which it is not, you are just measuring outside the scale’s dynamic range.
There is a good STICKY at the start of this forum about it’s use
