# Frigidaire range showing –

A dash on a Frigidaire range means the top is locked.

## What – actually means.

A dash on a Frigidaire range means the top is locked. Frigidaire cancels the lock by pressing OFF and holding it for 6 seconds, which also unlocks the oven door.

Frigidaire range display

What to do when – shows on the range

### Kind of code Mode, not a failure

Something the range was told to do, or a state it chose on purpose — a control lock, a Sabbath setting, a demo mode that lights the display but never heats, a pan warning on an induction zone. Nothing has worn out, and no part is needed.

### Usually leads to No repair

Press and hold OFF for 6 seconds.

### Shows up as Range Control Panel Not Responding

The touch keys or knobs on the range do nothing, only some keys work, the display is blank or frozen, or it beeps without starting.

### Make Frigidaire

A long-running American brand, now owned by Electrolux, that sells everyday freestanding and front-control ranges on gas, electric and induction.

### Source Frigidaire "Ranges - Error Code Guide"

From Frigidaire's range code guide; the hold time may vary by model.

### What not to do

The dash is a setting, not a failure.

## Questions about –.

### Can I clear – myself?

Press and hold OFF for 6 seconds.

### How did the dash appear on my Frigidaire range?

The lock feature is turned on by holding OFF for 6 seconds, so a long press while cleaning can set it by accident.

### I held OFF and my Frigidaire range still shows a dash. What now?

Hold it again for the full 6 seconds and give the door time to unlock. If the dash stays, book a visit.
