Error codeF7
ApplianceRange
Where F7 comes from
A legacy code on older electronic oven control (EOC) models. The watchdog for the lock motor’s relay was running when it should have been off.
The test behind it
Once a selection is made, the microprocessor checks that the EOC lock relay operates. Failing that check is what raises F7.
What the sheet lists
Replace the EOC, and nothing besides. A technician visit is the route.
Door lock codes to compare
F8 / F9 involve the switch positions of the lock motor. F5 is the relay-test fault of the main control, and F90 is the current-oven version of a lock problem.
Frigidaire range repair in San Francisco
San Francisco owners whose older oven shows F7 can phone (415) 319-6371. Be ready with the code, the model number and what has been tried. Further detail: Frigidaire range repair.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so F7 may mean something different on another appliance or generation. Confirm this against your model’s documentation and record your full model number before acting.
Plain language
What this code means
F7 means the lock motor relay watchdog was active when it should be disabled and the lock relay failed its test.
Important safety warning. Do not attempt repairs involving electrical components, gas, water lines, refrigerant or sealed systems. Unplug the appliance if it is safe to reach the outlet, and leave internal diagnostics to a qualified technician.
