Electrolux Range Error Code F10

F10 on an Electrolux range means the control board has detected a potential runaway oven overheating condition. This can be caused by a faulty RTD temperature sensor probe that is sending bad readings, or by a shorted relay on the relay board that is keeping a heating element continuously energized. The code is a safety alert and the oven should not be used until the fault is diagnosed and repaired.

Disconnecting power and restoring it may temporarily clear the F10 code, but if the underlying fault is still present the error will return. If the oven overheats again after power is reapplied, the relay board is likely the cause and will need to be replaced. A reset alone is not a fix and should only be used as part of the diagnostic process.

Repair costs vary depending on which component has failed. An RTD sensor probe is typically the least expensive fix, with parts generally ranging from around $20 to $60. Relay board or display board replacements tend to cost more, with parts often ranging from $80 to $250 or more depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor will increase the total cost of the repair.

No, you should not use the oven while F10 is active. The code indicates a possible runaway overheating condition, which means the oven could reach dangerously high temperatures. Disconnect power to the range until the root cause, either a bad RTD probe or a shorted relay, has been identified and corrected.

Start by inspecting and testing the RTD sensor probe inside the oven cavity. If it shows abnormal resistance or visible damage, replace it. If the oven is genuinely overheating rather than just showing a false code, disconnect power and check the relay board for a shorted relay. Depending on which component is at fault, you may need to replace the RTD probe, the relay board, the display board, or a combination of these.
