Runaway temperature or shorted sensor
Severity
Critical
Difficulty
Moderate
Est. Cost
What's Happening
The oven detected a runaway temperature or the sensor circuit has shorted. A stuck relay on the electronic oven control (EOC) board can keep the element energized continuously. Alternatively, the sensor may be reading low, causing overheating.
How to Fix It
Disconnect power immediately. Test the temperature sensor (~1,080 ohms at room temp). If the sensor is fine, the EOC board's relay may be welded shut, requiring board replacement.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does F10 mean on a Frigidaire oven?
F10 indicates a runaway temperature condition. Either the oven is actually overheating or the sensor is giving incorrect readings.
Is F10 dangerous?
Potentially yes. If the control board relay is welded shut, the element runs continuously. Disconnect power immediately.
Should I replace the sensor or the board?
Test the sensor first (~1,080 ohms). If it's good, the EOC board likely has a stuck relay and needs replacement.
