Frigidaire Oven F10: Higher-Than-Normal Temperature
Frigidaire calls F10 “thermal runaway”, a safety alert for an oven getting hotter than it should. Treat it seriously and follow Frigidaire’s cool-down and reset.
What F10 Means on a Frigidaire Oven
Frigidaire says F10 indicates your oven is detecting higher-than-normal temperatures, a built-in safety alert titled thermal runaway. For standard ranges and wall ovens, Frigidaire’s instruction is to turn the oven off and let it cool before using it again; its range article adds a reset by cutting power for up to 30 seconds. On models with a stone-baked pizza mode, Frigidaire says the Pizza Shield may simply be in the wrong rack position. Frigidaire names no failed part, so neither do we.

Safe Steps for F10
Frigidaire treats F10 as a safety alert, and so should you.
Turn it off and let it cool
Frigidaire says to turn the oven off and allow it to cool before using it again. Keep the door closed while it cools.
Reset the power
Unplug the range, or switch its breaker off for up to 30 seconds and back on.
Pizza models: check the shield
On stone-baked pizza ovens, confirm the Pizza Shield position in your Use & Care guide; Frigidaire lists rack position 7 on some models.
When to Call a Technician
Schedule a repair if:
- F10 returns after cooling and a reset
- The oven keeps heating when turned off
- Food burns at normal settings
- You smell hot wiring or plastic
