Frigidaire 30" Self-Cleaning Freestanding Electric Range - White-on-White - Page 6 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Hell Gina, thank you for your inquiry! I understand you have already tried resetting the range. It is important to wait roughly ten minutes and then turn the unit on. Since the error code F5 reappeared, it typically indicates a communication error between the power board and UIB (user interface board). In this case, I would recommend reaching out to an expert technician to ensure the appropriate replacement part is order and installed correctly to prevent future issues. I hope this information helps to some degree - thanks for your question, and please do not hesitate to reconnect.

Hi Andrew! Sounds like the unit is having a runaway temperature concern. F1 or F10 indicates the temperature has become too high for the unit. A professional is required to check the sensor probe in the oven. If the oven is overheating, disconnect its power. If oven continues to overheat when the power is reapplied, a technician will need to replace the electronic oven control (EOC).

Hi Ms. Grogan-If the power outlet to which this unit is connected to is working, and you have attempted to reset the range at the power breaker in your home without any success. I must recommend that a service specialist diagnose your appliance as the issue may me initiating within the unit wiring. The information provided is not sufficient to be able to determine specific causes. I appreciate your inquiry.

Hello pham, thank you for your post! Was the unit previously set on the self clean cycle? If so, the oven door will remain locked until the oven temperature has cooled down to a safe level. Try pressing the CLEAR/OFF key for approximately 15 seconds to see if it overrides the controls. If that does not working, disconnect power to the range for about 30 seconds and then turn the range on. Then I suggest setting the time of day and press the CLEAR/OFF key once again. If the instructions above do not solve the problem, then your appliance could possibly be experiencing a communication problem with the EOC (electronic oven control), a potential wiring failure, or a faulty door lock assembly. I am fairly confident that an authorized service agent will be able to restore your appliance to its normal operating condition. You can often locate a qualified service technician on the manufacturer website. Thanks for allowing me the opportunity to assist you!

Good Morning Megan, thank you for allowing me to assist you! One of the best ways to determine if your appliance has a false error code is to reset the power to the appliance by either unplugging it or flipping off the breaker. It is important to wait roughly ten minutes and then turn on the unit. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to inform me if the error code does not clear so I may advise you the meaning of the error code and/or possibilities of the issue the unit could be experiencing. Thank you and best of luck!

Good Morning Trudy, thank you for your inquiry! Being that it is a 1994 unit (nearly two decades old); Frigidaire no longer has information available. That being said, we do know that the unit is an electric range, so it would be safe to assume the unit would have similar instructions of some of Frigidaire rated ranges. Since many Frigidaire ranges today are built more energy efficient, it may be a good idea to check some of the newly-rated models to get the best value for your hard-earned dollars.

Good Afternoon C, error code F20 does indicate part replacement on the ESEC-UIB (User Interface Control), located behind the console on the side of the actual display. I would recommend, however, running a quick test to ensure that this is not a false error code. You do this by resetting your oven by flipping the breaker or unplugging the unit for approximately ten minutes. If resetting the unit does not correct the issue, please reach out to an expert technician to ensure the appropriate replacement part is ordered and is installed correctly to prevent future issues. I hope this information helps to some degree - thanks for your question, and please do not hesitate to reconnect.

Hello angeleyez82 - The EOC (electronic oven control/control board) basically sends power to both the broil and bake elements. As long as the power supply to the range (240VAC) and wiring between the elements is correct, then typically only the element(s) or EOC could prevent the unit from heating. I hope this information helps to some degree.

F2
Oven temperature too hot
Check and replace oven temperature sensor (RTD).
F3
Open oven temperature sensor (RTD)
Check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control. Replace oven temperature sensor (RTD) if wiring is ok.
So i suppose its a sensor replacement is necessary.These are the fault code explanations by frigidaire.good luck with the machine.Please do post results and comments.

Hello KC - You may try and reset the cook top by disconnecting the power to the unit for up to 30 seconds by flipping the circuit breaker off and back on. This often clears most false error codes. If the lock symbol does not clear, then the unit more than likely may be experiencing an issue with the EOC (Electronic Oven Control), user interface board or a potential wiring failure. This is not a typicaly do it yourself job; please consult a professional or your manufacturer.

Hello dfleck - Unfortunately once the enamel is burnt or damaged, it cannot be repair and will need replacing. At this point, I would personally recommend consulting with a service technician to proceed further.

Hello meathead4094 - Often when the LOCK light is flashing, it is because there is door malfunction. Try reprogramming the range by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off. Wait approximately ten minutes and turn the unit back on. Typically, this will clear the flashing. If issue persists, the range could possibly have a faulty door latch, light switch or EOC (electronic oven control). I would strongly recommend contacting a professional to get the appropriate diagnosis prior to make any unnecessary part replacements.

you may need new heater elements all together

Hello Herb Reinhart - If the range previously displayed DR and now showing F11, it typically indicates that the unit has detected a shorted keypad. Since you have already try resetting the unit by unplugging it and issue persists, I would recommend contacting a professional to proceed further. Most likely the EOC on the range will need replacing.

Hi stormsdestin - Thank you for your post! The electric range, model number FEF353BFW is recommended to used warm soapy water to clean the electric cook top. If your cook top is broken or damaged, you may want to connect with a local servicer who will be best equipped to pinpoint the problem. However, if you are requesting information on what kind of cook top repair creme may be use I would personally suggest contacting the manufacturer directly.

Hi there! From what you have described it sounds like the unit's thermostat and or temperature sensor is not functioning properly. Typically this is not a DIY type of job to complete on your own. Please contact a professional that your manufacturer suggests. Please let me know if you have any other concerns or questions.

Hello wills_amber - Typically, error code F1 indicates that the range has detected a runaway temperature issue (overheating).

Hi rhass132 - Regrettably, this is not a simple DIY job. Usually this type of information is not release to a consumer and it is very rare to find enough information to do it yourself. Generally, qualified technicians often perform complicated part replacement such as this. If I was in your position, I personally recommend seeking a professional to accurately assist with the repair or installation of the part.

This happened with my 42016 single oven. It was the element. They can be bought online and are easy to fit.
