Frigidaire Range Error Code F7 10

F7 10 indicates a missing communication connection between the Potentiometer/Display Board and the User Interface Board (UIB). The range's control system is not receiving the expected signal from the potentiometer circuit. This fault is most often caused by a loose, damaged, or corroded ESEC harness connector. A technician will need to inspect the wiring and boards to identify the exact source of the fault.

Operating the range while F7 10 is active is not recommended. The fault indicates that the control system cannot properly read the burner control input, which means burner output may not respond correctly to knob adjustments. Until the communication fault is resolved, normal safe operation of the affected controls cannot be confirmed.

Repair costs vary depending on what component needs to be replaced. If only a harness connector needs to be reseated or cleaned, the cost may be limited to a service call fee, typically in the range of $75 to $150. Replacing the UIB or Potentiometer/Display Board adds parts costs that can range from $100 to $300 or more depending on the specific model, plus labor.

A knowledgeable DIYer can start by checking whether the ESEC harness connectors at both the Potentiometer/Display Board and the UIB are fully seated and free of visible damage. If reseating the connectors does not clear the fault, replacing the UIB or Potentiometer/Display Board typically requires a technician, as it involves board-level component diagnosis and access to internal wiring.

Resetting the range by cutting power at the breaker for a few minutes may temporarily clear the code, but the fault will return if the underlying wiring or component issue has not been corrected. A reset is useful for confirming whether the fault is intermittent, but it is not a substitute for diagnosing and repairing the actual connection problem.
