What 1c31 means
1c31 appears on Whirlpool built-in wall ovens, single, double or microwave-combo, for example WOS51EC0HS, WOD51EC0HS, WOC54EC7HS and WOS72EC7HS. Where 1c1c and 1c2c name the keypad, this code names the oven control, the board behind the display, and the wiring that serves it. You will see 1c31 and the oven may not heat or accept settings. The code identifies where we look and does not show that the control is dead.
Common causes of 1c31
- Oven control board
- Wiring and connectors at the oven control
- Power conditions upsetting the control
1. Turn the oven off and shut its circuit breaker for one minute. 2. Switch the breaker on again. 3. Watch the display for sixty seconds in case 1c31 comes back. 4. When the display is clear, check that the oven operates properly.
- The oven control is a costly board, so a repeat of 1c31 means we confirm the cause by testing before suggesting a replacement.
- We start with the wiring and connectors, which are the simpler causes.
- The written price comes first and the work carries a 30-day warranty.

What is the oven control?
It is the main board that runs the oven, behind the display. 1c31 says it or its wiring is reporting a problem. It sits behind the display and decides when the oven heats, so a problem there can stop several functions at once.
Is the oven safe to use after a reset?
If the code stays gone and the oven heats normally, yes. If 1c31 returns, stop using it and call us. One clean reset is a good sign, but keep an eye on the oven for a few days and call if it returns.
Is replacing the control always necessary?
No. We check wiring and connections first. We replace the board only if testing shows it is the cause, and the price is quoted first.
Still seeing 1c31?
A technician diagnoses it on site and gives you the price in writing before any work starts.
