Electrolux Range Error Code F010

F010 indicates an oven temperature runaway fault, meaning the control system detected that the oven cavity temperature exceeded the maximum safe operating limit. The range shuts down heating as a protective measure when this condition is detected. The fault involves the temperature sensor, the oven relay board, or the wiring connecting them at pins 3 and 4 of connector J6.

No, the oven should not be used while this fault is active. The F010 code means the oven temperature climbed beyond safe limits, which can pose a fire hazard or damage internal components. Stop using the oven, allow it to cool completely, and proceed with diagnostics before attempting to operate it again.

Repair cost depends on which component has failed. A replacement oven temperature sensor typically runs in the range of $20 to $60 for the part alone, while an oven relay board can cost between $80 and $200 or more depending on the model. Adding professional labor generally brings the total to somewhere between $150 and $350, though costs vary by region and service provider.

Unplugging the range or cycling the breaker may clear the code temporarily, but if the underlying fault remains, the F010 condition will return and the oven may again exceed safe temperatures. Continued use without diagnosis creates a fire and safety risk. The root cause should be identified and corrected before the oven is put back into service.

Begin by turning off the range and unplugging the power cord. Remove the temperature probe connector at pins 3 and 4 of J6 on the oven relay board and check resistance between each wire and chassis ground to test for a shorted sensor or wiring fault. If the sensor and wiring check out, inspect the relay board for a stuck relay contact. Replacement of the temperature sensor, relay board, or damaged wiring is required depending on which component has failed.
