--- title: "Frigidaire range showing F12 or F13 | RangeRepair.center" description: "What F12 means on Frigidaire ranges, what to check before booking, and when it is not a failure at all." url: "https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-f12/" --- # Frigidaire range showing F12 Frigidaire labels F12 micro identification and F13 an EEPROM failure. ## What F12 actually means. Frigidaire labels F12 micro identification and F13 an EEPROM failure. An EEPROM is the memory chip on an electronic control, so both codes point at the control board rather than at a heating part. Frigidaire range display · also shown as F13 What to do when F12 shows on the range ### Kind of code Controls and communication The display, the main board or the induction power board lost contact with one another, or one of them failed its own self-check. A power dip, a loose cable or moisture from a boil-over is ruled out before a board is replaced, and a range that keeps heating while this code shows is switched off at the breaker. ### Usually leads to Knobs, switches and controls Knobs that spin or crack, touch keys that do nothing, blank displays, clocks that reset and control boards that switch the wrong thing. ### 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 "Range Error Code F12 - Micro Identification" F12 is in Frigidaire's range code guide, which is marked for electric ranges and names no models. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for F12 on its ranges. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Clear F12 by cutting power to the range for up to 30 seconds. 02 Book a visit if the code returns; do not keep cycling power. ### Still there? It usually turns into [knobs, switches and controls](https://rangerepair.center/services/knobs-switches-and-controls/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do Neither code means an element or sensor has failed. ## What you may notice with it. The range problems F12 tends to arrive with. Answer these at the range before anyone is booked.

Clear F12 by cutting power to the range for up to 30 seconds. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Can a power outage cause F13 on my Frigidaire range? A surge or outage can upset control memory, which is why a reset comes first. A code that survives the reset points at the control. ### Is F12 on a Frigidaire range worth repairing? It usually leads to the control board, which is a single part. A technician confirms the board is the cause before one is ordered. --- **[Read on the site: Frigidaire range showing F12 or F13 | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/error-codes/frigidaire-f12/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
