Frigidaire Range Error Code F7 41

F7 41 indicates that the right front burner potentiometer has been detected in a shorted condition. The potentiometer is the sensor inside the knob assembly that communicates the selected burner level to the control board. This fault code means the resistance signal from that component has dropped outside the acceptable range, signaling an internal short or a wiring fault. The right front burner will typically not operate while this fault is active.

The right front burner should not be used while the F7 41 fault is active, as the control system cannot reliably interpret its power setting. The remaining burners and oven may still function, but operating any appliance with an active fault code is not recommended until the underlying problem is diagnosed and corrected. If there is any sign of burning smell, visible wiring damage, or scorch marks near the knob area, stop using the range entirely until it is inspected.

Disconnecting power to the range for several minutes and restoring it may temporarily clear the F7 41 code, but the error will return if the underlying fault in the right front potentiometer or its wiring is still present. A reset does not repair the shorted component. If the code reappears immediately or shortly after a reset, the potentiometer or UIB needs to be physically inspected and likely replaced.

A knowledgeable DIYer can attempt to diagnose this fault by inspecting the right front knob area for spill damage, checking the wiring harness for visible damage, and reseating the connectors. However, if the potentiometer needs to be replaced or the UIB is suspected to be faulty, those repairs require some disassembly and familiarity with appliance wiring. If the cause is not clear after initial inspection, the manufacturer recommends contacting the technical support line before proceeding.

Repair costs depend on which component is at fault. A replacement right front potentiometer typically runs in the range of $15 to $60 for the part alone. If the User Interface Board requires replacement, expect part costs in the range of $80 to $250 or more depending on the specific model. Adding professional labor, total repair costs can range from $100 to $400 or higher depending on diagnosis complexity and local service rates.
