Frigidaire Range Error Code PErr

PErr indicates a problem with the meat probe circuit, either a connection fault at the probe jack or an overheated probe sensor. The control board cannot read a valid signal from the probe and locks out all other oven functions until the issue is corrected. You will need to remove and reseat the probe, confirm it is fully inserted into the food, and then restart the oven.

A power reset alone will not permanently clear PErr if the underlying condition still exists. The code will return as soon as the oven attempts to read the probe circuit again. You need to physically correct the probe connection or placement first, then power the unit back on. Once the probe reads correctly, the error will not reappear during normal use.

Replacement meat probes for Frigidaire ranges typically cost between $20 and $60 for the part, depending on the model. If a technician is needed to diagnose or replace the component, expect additional labor charges ranging from $75 to $150 depending on your area and service provider. In most cases, probe replacement is a straightforward DIY repair requiring no special tools.

In most cases, yes. Remove the probe from the wall jack, reinsert it firmly until it clicks or seats fully, and make sure the probe tip is positioned deep inside the food and not touching bone or the pan. If the error clears after this, no repair is needed. If PErr returns consistently despite correct probe placement, the probe itself is likely defective and will need to be replaced.

The range deliberately disables all oven functions when PErr is active, so you cannot operate the oven in this state until the probe issue is resolved. This lockout is a protective measure to prevent cooking with an unreliable temperature sensor. Remove the probe entirely if you want to use the oven for standard baking or broiling without probe monitoring, and the lockout should clear.
