Frigidaire and Electrolux Oven Error Codes: What They Mean and What to Do

On Frigidaire and Electrolux ranges, F10 means a runaway temperature condition, F11 a shorted keypad, F30 and F31 an oven temperature sensor circuit fault, and F90/F91 a door-lock problem, usually around self-clean. If the oven heats by itself or won't shut off (F10), switch off the breaker. Other codes may clear after a breaker reset; if they return, call a technician.

Try this first

  1. Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power.
  2. If the oven seems to heat on its own or keeps beeping, leave the breaker off and call.
  3. Gas models: if you smell gas, leave the home and call Southwest Gas from outside.

Oven codes

CodeWhat it meansWhat you can do
F10Runaway temperature — oven heating when it shouldn'tTurn the breaker off and call for repair.
F11Shorted keypadBreaker reset; repeats need the keypad or control.
F30 / F31Oven temperature sensor circuit open or shorted (exact meaning varies by model)Technician repair (sensor or wiring).
F90Door lock didn't complete its cycleLet it cool, reset the breaker; repeats need the lock.
F91Meaning varies by model — sources give different definitions (door lock communication or circuit)Model-specific: a technician visit is needed to find the exact cause.

Codes and their meaning can vary by model and production year, and the same code can have different causes. Where sources disagree we say so; in every case the exact cause is confirmed only by a technician's on-site diagnosis. Your owner's manual has the definitive list for your model.

Stay safe

Unplug the appliance (or switch off its breaker) before touching anything inside it, and never open a sealed refrigeration system, a gas valve or a microwave. If a code points to a part, the part has to be tested before it is replaced; we do that on the $75 diagnostic visit, credited toward the repair.
