GE Range Error Code F10

F10 on a GE range means the control board has detected a potential runaway oven condition, where the oven temperature is rising beyond safe limits or cannot be properly regulated. The code points to either a faulty RTD sensor probe or a shorted relay inside the Electronic Oven Control board. It is a safety-related error and the oven should not be used until the issue is resolved.

Disconnecting power and restoring it may temporarily clear the F10 code, but if the underlying problem is a failed RTD sensor or a shorted relay on the control board, the error will return. A reset does not fix the hardware fault causing the code. The oven should be diagnosed and repaired before regular use resumes.

Repair costs depend on which component has failed. An RTD sensor probe is generally the less expensive fix, with parts typically ranging from $20 to $60 depending on the model. Replacing the EOC-Display Board is more involved and parts alone can range from $100 to $300 or more. Adding professional labor will increase the total cost, generally bringing a full board replacement job into the $200 to $500 range.

No, you should not use the oven when F10 is displayed. This code indicates a potential runaway heating condition, meaning the oven may not be able to regulate its temperature properly. If the oven is actively overheating, disconnect power immediately and do not restore power until the fault has been diagnosed and repaired.

Start by inspecting and testing the RTD sensor probe inside the oven cavity, replacing it if it is defective. If the oven is genuinely overheating and continues to do so after power is reapplied with a good sensor installed, the EOC-Display Board has a shorted relay and will need to be replaced. Also check the wiring and connectors in the RTD circuit for damage or corrosion before replacing major components.
