Learn how to troubleshoot and fix the Frigidaire Range F10 error code. Our detailed guide covers testing the temperature sensor, checking wiring, and replacing the control board to resolve the F10 error and restore your range’s functionality.
If your Frigidaire range is displaying the F10 error code, it means there is an issue with the oven's temperature regulation system. To resolve this error, you’ll need to perform some troubleshooting. The F10 error can be caused by a faulty temperature sensor, a defective electronic control board, or damaged wiring between the two components. Follow the steps below to diagnose and fix the problem.
The first step is to test the oven’s temperature sensor. This sensor, also known as the RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), is the probe you see sticking out from the back wall of the oven. It’s typically secured with two screws, either on the inside of the oven or on the back of the range.
Open the oven door and look for two screws beside the sensor probe. If you don’t see them, the sensor is likely mounted on the back of the range. To access it, remove the back access panel of the range and look on the right side for the sensor.
Once you locate the temperature sensor, unplug it from the wiring harness. Using an ohm meter, test the resistance of the sensor. At room temperature, it should read approximately 1100 ohms. If the reading is significantly off, the sensor is faulty and needs to be replaced. You can order the replacement sensor from the link below:
If the temperature sensor is functioning correctly, the next step is to check the wiring between the sensor and the main control board. Use your meter to test the continuity of the wiring. If you find any issues, repair or replace the faulty wires to resolve the error.
If both the sensor and the wiring are in good condition, the F10 error is likely due to a failing electronic control board. To replace the control board, follow these steps:
The control board part number required can vary depending on your specific range model. If you need assistance identifying the correct part number for your model, we're here to help. Please submit a question, and one of our parts specialists will provide you with a prompt and accurate response.
By following these troubleshooting steps, you can effectively diagnose and repair the F10 error on your Frigidaire range, ensuring it operates smoothly and safely.
