What the F1 error code actually means

Your Frigidaire oven is displaying an F1 error because the control system has detected a problem with the temperature sensor, the control board, or the keypad. In some cases, this error can mean the oven is heating uncontrollably, so if the oven feels excessively hot, turn it off at the breaker right away. A technician will need to check the temperature sensor and control board to determine what needs to be replaced.

Questions people ask about F1

What does F1 mean on a Frigidaire oven?
F1 is a control system fault that can indicate a runaway oven condition, a shorted relay, a failed RTD temperature sensor probe, a shorted keypad, or a corrupted control board memory. The specific cause depends on which sub-code is displayed: F10, F11, or F13. F10 is the most urgent because it can mean the oven is heating without limit. Diagnosis typically starts with inspecting the RTD sensor probe.
Will resetting the oven clear the F1 error code?
A power reset may temporarily clear the code, but if the underlying component is faulty, the error will return. For F13, a reset is unlikely to resolve the issue since the fault reflects corrupted control board memory. For F10, if the oven resumes overheating after power is restored, the EOC board needs to be replaced rather than simply reset.
How much does it cost to repair an F1 error on a Frigidaire oven?
Repair costs depend on which component has failed. An RTD sensor probe is generally the least expensive fix, with parts typically ranging from $15 to $50. A replacement keypad assembly can range from $50 to $150. Replacing the electronic oven control board is the most costly repair, with parts often ranging from $100 to $300 or more, plus labor if a technician is hired.
Is the F1 error on a Frigidaire oven dangerous?
It can be, particularly when the F10 sub-code is involved. A shorted relay or failed RTD sensor can cause the oven to heat continuously and uncontrollably. If your oven is overheating when this code appears, disconnect power at the circuit breaker immediately and do not use the oven until the fault has been diagnosed and repaired.
How do I fix the F1 error on my Frigidaire oven?
Start by disconnecting power to the oven, then inspect and test the RTD sensor probe. If the probe is out of spec, replace it and restore power to see if the fault clears. If the oven continues to overheat after the probe has been replaced, the electronic oven control board is likely the source of the problem and will need to be replaced. For an F11 fault, the keypad or touchpad assembly typically needs replacement.
