Press Cancel/Off and let the oven cool for one hour, then use it again. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Why does my Kenmore gas stove flash Er- after a power outage? A power interruption can upset the control. Follow the cool-down and power reset; if it repeats, the control needs a check. ### Is ErrF on my Kenmore different from Er- with a number? The Kenmore guide lists them together with the same steps. ### Can I use the Kenmore burners while Er- is flashing? The code is from the oven control. The burners are separate, but reset first and watch for a repeat. --- **[Read on the site: Kenmore gas stove flashing Er- and a number](https://stoverepair.center/error-codes/kenmore-er/)** **[Book a visit with StoveRepair.center](https://stoverepair.center/schedule/)**
