KitchenAid Cooktop Codes F42, F43 and F58: Power Control Board
F42, F43 and F58 carry the same description: the power control board or its wiring. The listed owner step is a breaker reset.
Model compatibility: KitchenAid reuses codes across series and model years, so F42 / F43 / F58 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
What this code means
KitchenAid says there may be a problem with the Cooktop Power Control Board or the associated wiring, for all three codes.
One text, three numbers
KitchenAid’s help repeats a single explanation for F42, F43 and F58: trouble with the Cooktop Power Control Board or the associated wiring may be present. Each code has an electric-only version and an electric-and-induction version, and nothing in them differs.
At a glance
| Code | F42 / F43 / F58 |
|---|---|
| What it means | A possible problem with the Cooktop Power Control Board or its wiring; the same advice applies to all three codes. |
| What you can check | Remove power at the circuit breaker or breakers for a minute, then restore it. Watch for another minute and confirm the cooktop works. Write down which of the three codes appeared. |
| When to call a technician | Arrange service when the code does not stay away after the reset. Tell the technician which code it was, that the breaker was off the full minute, and how soon it returned. |
What to try
- Take power away at the circuit breaker (or breakers) and wait a minute.
- Return power.
- Observe for another minute in case the code reappears.
- Verify that the cooktop works.
Reading the numbers
The reason for having three numbers is not given. Write down the one you see; a technician may well find it useful.
If the reset does not hold
In general terms, the power control board manages the power going to the cooking areas. KitchenAid’s articles list no step about cleaning, cookware or placement, and offer owners nothing more once the reset fails. A code that keeps returning therefore becomes a service matter.
Points for the phone call
Have these ready: which of the three codes it is, that you left the breaker off for the full minute, and that you watched during the monitoring minute. If the code came back, say how soon. No other test is described for any of the numbers.
Other codes naming this board
- F40: the board, touchpad or wiring.
- F47: those same three in a different arrangement.
- F61 / F63 / F64: a control, power module, wiring or electrical supply.
