Frigidaire Oven Error Code SF

SF stands for Sabbath Failure on a Frigidaire oven. It indicates that a power interruption occurred while the oven was running in Sabbath mode, causing the oven to shut off as a safety measure. The oven will not restart automatically and requires manual steps to return to normal operation. No component has necessarily failed when this code appears.

The oven will not operate while SF is displayed, so there is no active heating hazard. The code is a lockout condition, not a sign of a dangerous component failure. You can safely clear the code using the key combination and resume normal use. If the oven shows any other unusual behavior after clearing, discontinue use and have it inspected.

In most cases, clearing the SF error costs nothing because it requires only a key combination and no parts or service call. If the control board has failed and will not accept the exit command, a replacement control board and professional labor could range from roughly $150 to $400 or more depending on the specific model and local labor rates. Attempting the DIY key sequence first is always the recommended starting point before pursuing a repair.

To clear the SF code, press and hold the Self Clean and Set Clock keys at the same time for at least 3 seconds. This tells the control board to exit Sabbath mode, and the SF display should disappear. Once cleared, all standard oven functions will resume normally. If the code does not clear after this step, further diagnosis of the control board may be needed.

A standard power reset by cycling the breaker or unplugging the oven will not reliably clear the SF code on its own. The correct method is to press and hold both the Self Clean and Set Clock keys simultaneously for at least 3 seconds while the oven has power. This specific key sequence is required to properly exit Sabbath mode and clear the error.
