Frigidaire and Electrolux Range Error Codes: What They Mean
What Frigidaire and Electrolux electric range codes such as F10, F30 and F90 mean, what you can try, and when to book a repair.
Frigidaire and Electrolux electric ranges and ovens show F-codes when the control spots a problem such as overheating, a faulty temperature probe or a door lock fault. Both brands publish the same range code list on their owner support sites, and that list is what this page follows.
Codes can differ by model and model year, so check your use and care guide if something does not match. Your model and serial numbers are usually on a label on the frame behind the oven door or on the storage drawer. Have them ready when you call.
Never open the range or touch wiring or heating elements; only reset power at the plug or breaker.
If F10 appears, turn the oven off and let it cool before doing anything else.

Frigidaire & Electrolux range F10 error
F10 is a safety alert: the oven has detected higher temperatures than it should. Turn the oven off and let it cool before using it again. On stone-baked pizza oven models, make sure the pizza shield and rack are in the position shown in your use and care guide, then reset and preheat again. If F10 keeps returning, book a technician.
Model note: On stone-baked pizza oven models the manufacturer ties F10 to the pizza shield rack position.
