Frigidaire range, oven and cooktop codes by control type
Frigidaire uses several control platforms, and the same code can mean different things on each. Find the section that matches your display, or enter your model number above.
In-depth code guides: Frigidaire oven F10 code.
Frigidaire ranges and wall ovens with electronic oven controls (F-codes)
How to recognize it: Electronic oven control with a digital display that shows F followed by digits (F10, F011, F030…). Newer front-control ranges show three digits (F010 = F10).
- For most control and communication F-codes the manufacturer's first step is to remove power for 30 seconds and restore it; a code that returns at power-up points to a failed part.
- On recent Frigidaire ranges, a full preheat can take 30–45 minutes because of the oven liner and control algorithms, and a brief temperature overshoot during preheat is normal.
- On front-control ranges built from serial VF430 on, the cooling fan does not run for oven settings up to 425°F; above 425°F it starts once the temperature is reached and stops after cooling to 400°F. This is normal.
| Code | What it means | What you can safely do |
|---|---|---|
| F1 / F2 / F4 / F5 / F12 / F13 / F15 / F17 | Control board or touch-panel internal / configuration alarms. |
|
| F10 | Oven temperature runaway — the cavity was detected above the maximum safe temperature. |
|
| F11 | Stuck or shorted key — a key detected as pressed for 30 seconds or more. |
|
| F16 | The control cannot read the knob potentiometers (models with knobs). |
|
| F18 / F19 / F22 / F25 / F27 | Oven relay board failure or communication between the oven interface board and the relay board. |
|
| F20 / F21 | Communication failure between the oven control and the surface element (cooktop) control or filter board. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F23 / F28 / F29 | Communication failure between the oven interface board and the glass touch panel. |
|
| F3 | Oven control board incorrectly configured — needs the correct board revision for the model. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F30 | Oven temperature sensor (RTD) open circuit. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F31 | Oven temperature sensor (RTD) shorted. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F33 | Meat probe shorted or too hot (above 392°F) — often a probe not inserted in the food or not fully plugged in. |
|
| F43 / F45 / F47 | Cooling fan speed too low (upper/lower oven on some models). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F44 / F46 / F48 | Cooling fan speed too high (air path obstruction, fan or control). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F50 | The relay board cannot read the door switch / door lock status (wiring or board). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F60 | Oven control board over temperature — check back guard and panels, blocked control vents, oven vent and cooling fan. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| F90 / F91 / F92 / F93 / F94 / F95 / F97 | Motorized door lock problem — lock or unlock time or attempts exceeded, lock switch invalid, or lock motor not stopping. |
|
| F96 | Oven door detected open during self-clean (door not pressing the switch, or someone pulled on the door). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| LinE / LinE ERR | Missing zero-cross signal or internal voltage test failure. |
|
| SPr | Spark detected during self-clean — a cooktop burner igniter was activated, so clean was canceled. Do not use the cooktop during self-clean. |

Frigidaire induction cooktops and ranges
- Induction heats ferrous (magnetic) cookware through a high-frequency field; pan-detection codes are often cookware that is not magnetic enough, warped, rusty, too small or off-center.
- With induction, boiling that looks stronger in one spot of the pan than another is normal.
- Before power-cycling an induction cooktop with knobs, all knobs must be OFF; leaving a knob on causes further error messages.
| Code | What it means | What you can safely do |
|---|---|---|
| C159 / C259 / C359 | Supply voltage too low at the induction power board (36-inch). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| C164 / C264 / C364 | Induction power board cooling fan blocked (36-inch cooktops). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| C35 / C75 / C95 | Supply voltage too low at an induction generator. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| C38 / C78 / C98 | Induction cooling fan not connected. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| C42 / C82 / A2 (pot detection) | General pot-detection alarm — cookware not suitable, warped, rusty, wrong size or off-center. |
|
| C44 / C84 / A4 | Induction board temperature warning — often a dry pan on high heat; let the zone cool, then continue. |
|
| C45 / C85 / A5 | Induction board temperature alarm. | Professional diagnosis recommended. |
| C51–C56 / C63–C68 | Zone temperature sensor fault or zone too hot (often dry pan on high). | Professional diagnosis recommended. |

Repair service
Frigidaire appliances can use different components and diagnostic logic depending on the model and control platform. Since several different failures can produce the same symptom, the safest next step is to have the appliance professionally diagnosed.
