Frigidaire Oven Error Code F10

The F10 code means the oven control has detected a potential runaway overtemperature condition. This can be caused by a defective RTD sensor probe sending a bad temperature reading, or by a shorted relay on the relay board that keeps a heating element on when it should be off. The control triggers this fault as a safety measure to alert you before a hazardous situation develops.

Pressing the Clear or Cancel key may temporarily clear the F10 code, but if the underlying cause is not addressed, the error will return. A reset is a useful first step to determine if the fault was a one-time control glitch, but a recurring F10 points to a hardware problem with the RTD sensor probe or relay board that requires further diagnosis.

Repair costs vary depending on which component is at fault. An RTD sensor probe is generally an inexpensive part, typically in the range of $15 to $50, making it a relatively affordable fix. A relay board replacement is more expensive, with parts commonly ranging from $50 to $150 or more, plus labor if a technician is hired. Diagnosing the root cause before ordering parts helps avoid unnecessary expense.

No, you should not use the oven until the cause has been identified and resolved. If the oven is actually overheating, continued use poses a fire and safety risk. Disconnect power immediately if the oven feels excessively hot, and do not restore power until the faulty component has been replaced.

Start by pressing Clear or Cancel. If the oven is not actually overheating and the error persists, test and inspect the RTD sensor probe for defects and replace it if needed. If the oven is genuinely overheating, disconnect power, and if it overheats again when power is restored, replace the relay board. Always verify the sensor wiring and connections are secure before replacing components.
