How To Fix Frigidaire Range F10 Error Code
If your Frigidaire range is displaying the F10 error code, it indicates an issue with the oven’s temperature regulation system. This is often related to a faulty temperature sensor (RTD), defective electronic control board, or damaged wiring between the two. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the full troubleshooting process to help you fix the error and get your oven working properly again.
What Does the F10 Error Code Mean?
The F10 code typically appears when the control board detects that the oven is overheating or that the temperature sensor is reading out of range. This could be due to:
- A faulty temperature sensor
- Loose or damaged wiring
- A defective electronic control board
Diagnosing the root cause is critical for a proper fix. Follow the steps below to identify and resolve the issue.
Step 1: Locate and Test the Temperature Sensor
The temperature sensor, also known as the RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector), is located inside the oven cavity or on the back of the unit. It’s typically secured with two screws. Open the oven door and check for two screws near the rear wall. If not visible, remove the back panel of the range to access the sensor from behind.
Step 2: Use a Multimeter to Test the Sensor
Unplug the range or shut off power at the breaker. Then disconnect the sensor from the wiring harness. Using an ohmmeter or multimeter, test the sensor for resistance. At room temperature, it should read approximately 1100 ohms. If the reading is significantly lower or higher, the sensor is faulty and should be replaced.

Step 3: Check the Wiring Harness
If the sensor tests within range, inspect the wiring between the sensor and the oven control board. Look for damaged insulation, burned connectors, or loose terminals. Use your multimeter to check continuity in the wires. If you find an open circuit or irregular resistance, repair or replace the faulty wiring as needed.
Step 4: Replace the Electronic Control Board
If both the sensor and wiring are in good condition, the F10 error may be due to a failing control board. To replace the board:
- Shut off power to the range at the breaker.
- Remove the back console panel (usually secured with screws).
- Take a clear photo of the current wire connections to use as a reference.
- Unplug all wires from the control board.
- Remove the board from the console and replace it with the new one.
- Reconnect the wires based on your reference photo and secure the new board in place.

Safety Reminder
Always disconnect power before servicing appliances. If you’re unfamiliar with electrical testing or working with internal oven components, it’s best to consult or hire a qualified technician.
Conclusion
The Frigidaire Range F10 error code is a common issue related to the oven’s temperature monitoring system. In most cases, it can be resolved by replacing a faulty temperature sensor. If that doesn’t solve the issue, inspect the wiring and control board next. Follow these steps carefully, and your oven should be back to normal operation in no time.
