What the SF error code actually means

Your Electrolux oven lost power while it was in a special mode called Sabbath mode, which is used during religious observances to keep the oven running continuously. Because of that interruption, the oven shut itself off and won't turn back on automatically. Once the Sabbath is over, you can reset it by holding the HI and LO buttons at the same time for a few seconds.

Questions people ask about SF

What does SF mean on a Electrolux range?
SF stands for Sabbath Failure on an Electrolux range. It means the oven was running in Sabbath mode and lost power before the session was completed. As a result, the oven has shut off and will not restart automatically. The code is not a mechanical or component failure, it is a control state notification.
Is it safe to leave food in the oven when the SF code appears?
When the SF code appears, the oven has already shut off, meaning it is no longer maintaining temperature. Food safety depends on how long the oven has been off and what the food is. It is generally recommended to remove food from the oven promptly after the SF code appears rather than leaving it inside an unheated oven for an extended period.
How much does it cost to repair an SF error code on an Electrolux range?
In most cases, the SF code requires no parts or paid repairs at all. It is resolved by deactivating the Sabbath feature using the control pad buttons. If the SF code persists after following the correct reset procedure, a service call to inspect the control board could run anywhere from $100 to $300 or more depending on labor rates and whether parts are needed.
How do I fix the SF error code on my Electrolux range?
First, safely remove any food from the oven. You cannot turn the oven back on while the Sabbath period is still active. Once the Sabbath has ended, press and hold both the HI and LO pads at the same time for at least 3 seconds to deactivate the Sabbath feature. The SF code will clear and the oven will return to normal operation.
Will resetting the power clear the SF error on an Electrolux range?
Cycling the power at the breaker will not fully resolve the SF condition on its own. The Sabbath feature must be manually deactivated by pressing and holding both the HI and LO pads for at least 3 seconds after the Sabbath period ends. Simply restoring power without deactivating the feature will not return the oven to normal operation.
