Frigidaire calls F10 thermal runaway. On standard range ovens it means the oven is detecting higher-than-normal temperatures, and the code is a safety alert that stops the oven. Frigidaire range display What to do when F10 shows on the range ### Kind of code Oven heating The oven under the burners called for heat and the cavity did not warm the way the control planned. On an electric oven a bake or broil element that has burned open is the usual cause; on a gas oven the igniter and the valve it opens come first. The wiring and the relay are checked before the board takes the blame. ### Usually leads to Bake and broil elements An electric range oven that stays cold, heats only from above or below, or will not broil, traced to the elements, their terminals or the relay that switches them. ### Shows up as Range Oven Temperature Wrong Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range. ### 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" Frigidaire's range guide lists F10; its oven code guide explains it for standard range ovens and mentions a pizza shield on Stone-Baked Pizza ovens. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for F10 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Turn the oven off and let it cool completely. 02 Reset the range by cutting power for about 30 seconds. 03 If F10 returns on the next bake, book a visit. ### Still there? It usually turns into [bake and broil elements](https://rangerepair.center/services/bake-and-broil-element-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do F10 is not a door lock code; those are F90 to F94. ## What you may notice with it. The range problems F10 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

Turn the oven off and let it cool completely. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Is thermal runaway on my Frigidaire range dangerous? It means the oven got hotter than it should, and Frigidaire treats F10 as a safety alert. Let it cool, reset it, and do not keep baking if F10 comes back. ### Can F10 on a Frigidaire range come from the pizza setting? On Stone-Baked Pizza ovens, Frigidaire links F10 to a pizza shield on the wrong rack. Check the rack position in your manual before assuming a part has failed. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire range showing F10 | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-f10/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
