Hello - Does any part of the range work? Will the oven bake or broil? Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn on the cook top. If it proves to be ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Hello Youngmi Park - Typically error code F9 indicates that the range has experienced maximum oven door unlock attempts, open time, or lock attempts exceeded. Try resetting the unit by unplugging it or flipping the household breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and this will usually clear most false error codes. If it proves to be ineffective, the range may possibly have an issue with the motor door latch, lock motor assembly, door light switch, or EOC. Contact a professional to move forward accurately for a properly diagnose.

Heat loss from leaking door Gasket can cause this problem

Unplug the unit, or turn it off at the breaker. This condition is a FIRE HAZARD, as the burner will not cycle on and off correctly to maintain correct temperature. Call an appliance repair person as this is 220 volts and can kill you instantly.

HI. The actual issue will be with the main logic board, which is where the main element control relays are mounted. These very important relays are damaged. The main board will need to be replaced, asap. With that said, if you could be so kind; Please post the entire model number so that i may pull up all necessary part numbers needed, as well as, service manual links and diagrams to help with your repair.

Hi u_odil,

The F30 on your display means that your oven thinks that your oven sensor is shorted. It's either a bad oven sensor or a bad display relay control board. You can't test the board but you can test the sensor. Open the door and remove the 3-4" long thin metal rod attached to the back wall. There are 2 screws holding the sensor on that you can remove and then pull the sensor forward until you can disconnect it. With a multimeter, check the resistance of the sensor at room temperature and it should be about 1080 ohms. If it's not, replace the sensor, otherwise you need to replace your relay board.

Hope this helps.

Thank you for using FixYa.

F7 for a Fridgidaire Range indicates a failure with the electronic Range Control (ERC). Unfortunately when these fault codes pop up, the electronic boards must be replaced. The part number for yours is 937801 and costs about $190. Is it possible you may have gotten cleaner on the board or possibly shorted out the buttons? Is your range still covered under a warranty? Double check your paperwork and see if the electronics are covered for an extended period beyond the normal limited warranty you get when you purchase a new appliance. Post back with comments and/or questions if you wish to repair the range. I hope this helps you.

here is a list of error codes that may or may not be displayed by the oven.

I looked up your model number and I would suspect a faulty door lock latch motor switch, part # 316464301.
It can be located my removing the back panel of the stove.

Thanks for choosing FixYa and welcome to the site. If you have a electric oven or a gas oven that won't heat or doesn't heat properly, here are some things you will need to check. The most likely cause of a oven not heating correctly is a defetive heating element. You have two types of heating elements in your oven. The bottom element(s) are the baking elements. The element(s) on the top are the broil elements. If you don't see the bright red glow from the element, chances are they are not working or not working correctly. If a heating element is bad, you need to replace the entire element. If your oven is warm and not correctly hot, one of the elements may be bad. In most ovens, when you preheat, both elements are used. This would make the oven to appear like it is working correctly but it is not. If the elements are not working, they might not be getting power. Test the wires to the elements with a voltage meter to make sure they are getting power before you decide to change them out. Many electrical ovens have a sensor that monitors the oven temperture. Ovens that have this sensor usually contain a digital display on the oven. The sensor could be defective. Those without the sensor use the basic mechanical system to control the oven temperature. You also want to check the thermostat sensing bulb. Make sure the bulb is good and has not come loose. Now, if you have a gas range oven that doesn't heat properly, first, you want to check your bake igniter. It may have burned out or it could be not working properly. It will be located near your burner. It is also possible that you are not getting gas to the burner. If so, it may be the gas safety valve or the igniter. You need to check your selector switch and thermostat as well. They may be defective. Always make sure you test the parts for power with a voltage meter of some type before you decide to change the part. If you have a part that appears to not be working, it may not be getting power because of a bad wire or broken connection. Thank you for your time and thanks for choosing FixYa.

My frigidaire model is CPLEF398CCB conventional electric flat top oven. Everything is working fine except my oven. When I select pre-heat, broil or bake nothing lid up. No heat on the coil, only fan.Any suggestions?
