What F10
actually means.
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 rangeKind of codeOven 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 toBake 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 asRange Oven Temperature Wrong
Recipes burn or come out underdone, and an oven thermometer disagrees with the temperature set on the range.

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.
Turn the oven off and let it cool completely.
Reset the range by cutting power for about 30 seconds.
If F10 returns on the next bake, book a visit.
What not to do
F10 is not a door lock code; those are F90 to F94.

Frigidaire range repair
Gas range
Open flames on top and a gas-fired oven below, all fed by one supply line behind the range and lit by igniters rather than a match.
Electric range
Coil elements or radiant elements under a smooth glass top, with an electric oven below, all running on a dedicated 240-volt circuit.
Dual-fuel range
Gas burners on top and an electric oven below, the combination most professional-style ranges use, needing both a gas line and a 240-volt circuit.
