Before you book,
in this order.

Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for – on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Press and hold OFF for 6 seconds.

02

Wait for the door to unlock and normal operation to return.

Cleared?

The range was set right without a new part. If the same message comes back while a burner or the oven is in use, or the range cuts out again, treat it as a new problem and book it.

What not to do

The dash is a setting, not a failure.

What you may
notice with it.

The range problems – tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

All problems

No repair indicated

Nothing to repair.

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.

In Frigidaire's own words

The cooktop is locked. To cancel the oven Lock feature, press OFF and hold for 6 seconds.

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.

Back to your everyday

Still showing –?
