What the - - error code actually means

The - - symbol on your Frigidaire cooktop display means the burners or cooking zones have been intentionally turned off by a safety or special feature, not a malfunction. This happens when the Control Lockout, Self-Clean cycle, or Sabbath mode is active. You just need to turn off whichever feature is running, and normal cooking will resume.

Questions people ask about - -

What does - - mean on a Frigidaire range?
The - - indicator appears in the cooktop display windows to show that the cooking zones have been disabled by an active feature. This is not an error or fault condition. It means either the Control Lockout, Self-Clean, or Sabbath mode is currently active. Deactivating the relevant feature will clear the display and restore normal cooktop operation.
Is the - - display a safety warning I should be concerned about?
No, the - - indicator is not a warning about a dangerous condition or a component failure. It simply means a lockout feature is active and the cooktop has been intentionally disabled. The range is operating as designed. You can address it by exiting whichever mode is active.
How much will it cost to fix the - - display issue on my Frigidaire range?
In almost all cases there is no cost involved since the - - display is resolved by pressing a button or exiting a mode. If the issue is caused by a stuck or faulty control keypad, replacement keypad or control board parts for a Frigidaire range typically run in the range of $50 to $250 or more depending on the model, plus labor if a technician is needed.
How do I fix the - - display and get my cooktop working again?
First, try pressing and holding the lock pad for 3 seconds to deactivate the Control Lockout feature. If that does not work, check whether a Self-Clean cycle is running and allow it to finish, or navigate to your control settings to exit Sabbath mode if it was enabled. If the display still shows - - after all these steps, try resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker for 30 seconds.
Will resetting the range clear the - - display?
A power reset by turning off the breaker for 30 seconds can sometimes clear the - - display if a software state is preventing the lockout from releasing normally. However, if the lockout was intentionally set, it may re-engage or the feature may need to be exited through the control panel rather than a power reset alone.
