Error codeF10

Why the oven shows F10
Frigidaire calls F10 Thermal Runaway. Whenever the oven detects heat above the normal range, this safety alert appears, shielding both the appliance and the person using it. Standard ranges and wall ovens carry the code, and so do stone-baked pizza ovens.
What to do depends on the oven
Standard wall oven
Turn the oven off.
Give it time to cool completely before the next use.
Should F10 remain, arrange a service call.
Stone-baked pizza oven
Confirm the oven rack and the Pizza Shield both sit in position 7; some models differ, which the Use and Care Guide spells out.
Unplug the unit for 30 seconds.
Start the Stone-Baked Pizza preheat again.
The same code on ranges
F10 on ranges: runaway temperature, a safety alert from the oven
If F10 is still there after the cool-down, Frigidaire wall oven repair covers San Francisco and the Bay Area at (415) 319-6371. Keep the model number and a note of how long the oven was left to cool within reach.
Model compatibility: Frigidaire reuses codes across series and model years, so F10 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
F10 is the thermal runaway alert, raised when the oven senses temperatures above normal.
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.
