What F10
actually means.
Frigidaire calls F10 thermal runaway: the oven senses higher-than-normal temperatures and shuts down as a safety step. On stoves with Stone-Baked Pizza, a pizza shield on the wrong rack can bring on F10.

What to do when F10 shows on the stoveKind of codeOven heating
The oven part of the stove was set to bake or broil and did not warm the way the controls expected, or took far too long to get there. On an electric stove a bake or broil element that has burned through is the everyday reason; on a gas stove the oven igniter and the valve it opens are looked at first. The wiring and the relay on the board are checked before the board itself is blamed.
Usually leads toStove oven heating repair
The oven part of a stove that stays cold, heats slowly or bakes too hot or too cool, fixed at the bake and broil elements, the oven igniter, the gas valve or the temperature sensor.

Recipes take much longer or much less time than they should, cakes burn on the outside and stay raw inside, or an oven thermometer disagrees with the display by more than a little.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Frigidaire's own guidance for F10 on its stoves. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
Shut the oven off and let it cool down with its door kept closed.
On a Stone-Baked Pizza model, move the rack and shield to rack position 7 or the position your guide gives.
Unplug or switch off the breaker for 30 seconds, then try again.
If F10 returns during a normal bake, stop using the oven and book a visit.

What not to do
F10 is not a sensor wiring code. Frigidaire's probe codes are F30 and F31; F10 means the heat reading was real and too high.
