I have a self-cleaning older Frigidaire oven RE36BNL*2 and have had several power interuptions. I went to use the oven and the timer and oven controls won't work. There is an OFF displayed and it quickly disappears. The top of the stove works and also the digital clock. I can't find my owners manual.

cool down before it opens if you started the clean timer, f8 code, might be that its on a timer

now days the timers ar all solid state , to me sounds like a timer failure or main controll board and timer

I wish I had a solution for you...unfortunately I don't. However, if you know anywhere I might find a thermostat knob for this model I would be eternally grateful. I've been searching for 2 years for my mother. It's the knob with 5 settings (off, bake, broil, time-bake and clean).

Hello- The function is automatic when clean button is pushed. Oven will lock, and turn on at full power for about 90 mins. This 'feature' can, and usually does eventually burn out circuits in the control board. Techs call this the 'self-destruct' option, cheerfully promoted by the salesman. Avoid using 'self clean'!  Scrape and clean with light soap/water. Turn on to 450deg. for about 30 min. This is about half the temp. of a 900deg. 'clean' cycle and a lot less expensive in the long run. Please acknowledge this post if info is helpful- have more if needed.- Thanks- Ed

Self Cleaning Oven Problem

" Wish I had read this first. I never would have used the self cleaningoption. Thanks for the info!!

Whithout knowing the model number in general it takes several hours for the cleaning cycle. My oven takes approx. 4 hours to complete a good cleaning. On my own oven, you can set the timer for as long as you want. Do you have an owners manual? If not, you can find one here...........

Try resetting the timer to manual, consult your user instruction book.

If it has a timer of any description, make sure it is set to manual, refer to your instruction book.

Error code F1

1. Shorted keypad.
2. Control's internal checksum may have become corrupted.
3. Control has sensed a potential runaway oven condition. Control
may have shorted relay, RTD sensor probe may have gone bad.
1. Disconnect power, wait 30 seconds and reapply power. If fault returns
upon power-up, replace EOC.
2. Check RTD sensor probe and replace if necessary. If oven is
overheating, disconnect power. If oven continues to overheat when
the power is reapplied, replace EOC. Severe overheating may require
the entire oven to be replaced, should damage be extensive.
3. Replace EOC.
Check resistance at room temperature, if less than 500 ohms, replace
