My Frigidaire oven shut off due to an f10 error which should I replace first since I have no tools to measure.ohms... sensor or EOC?

To cancel the F10 error, you need to unplug the oven or shut it off at the circuit breaker. Usually this error means that the oven is detecting a runaway temperature. Either the RTD (resistance temperature detector) sensor probe, the electronic oven (EOC) or the wiring is faulty.

You can check which one is bad by testing the resistance. The RTD sensor is on the back wall of the oven near the top of the cavity. It's somewhat easier to check the wire at the EOC. Unplug the connector and measure the resistance between the two wires. The resistance should be about 1100 Ohms in a room temperature environment. If you get the incorrect resistance, remove the sensor from the oven and check the resistance at the sensor. If you get the same faulty reading at the sensor and at the EOC, the sensor is probably bad. If the resistance is 1100 Ohms at the sensor, the wiring is bad. If the resistance is correct at all points, the EOC needs to be replaced.

Please add a comment with your oven's model number. I will try to find a source with the correct parts. I hope this helps.

Good Morning Dave, thank you for allowing me to assist you!

If you are getting error code F10, it typically means that your range is experiencing an issue with the runaway temperature (overheating). One of the best ways to determine if this is a false error code is to reset the power to your range by either unplugging it or flipping the household circuit breaker off for about ten minutes. If the error code persists, I would be advisable to reach out to a professional to proceed further. Most likely the RTD (Resistance Temperature Detector) or the EOC (electronic oven control) will need replacing. Hope this helps!

The "F10" error code caused by the runaway temperature.
The first thing I would check is the resistance across the oven temperature probe (aka oven temperature sensor) terminals at the EOC (electronic oven control) plug.
It suppose to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.
If the resistance at the EOC plug is wrong, then measure the oven temperature probe resistance at the probe plug.
If it's wrong - replace the oven temperature probe. It's better to hardwire it, using a high temperature ceramic wire nuts.
If the readings at the EOC and at the oven temperature probe plug are different - check the wire harness between the oven temperature probe and the EOC.
If there is nothing wrong with the oven temperature probe resistance - replace the EOC.

Sorry to read about your problem, I hope this helps you out.

F10
Runaway Temperature.
1. (F10 only) Check RTD Sensor Probe & 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.
2. (F11, 12 & 13) Disconnect power, wait 30 seconds and reapply power.
3. (F11, 12 & 13) If fault returns upon power-up, replace EOC.

I Have tried to help you.Please help me and rate/vote my response. Thanks and good luck.

If you live in the Denver Co area I can help.

The "F10" oven error code means "Runaway temperature".
If you have technical skills, you can try to diagnose and repair yourself, otherwise, call a qualified appliance repairman.

Locate the temperature probe wire plug at the Electronic Oven Control (EOC) and measure its resistance. It’s supposed to be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.

If the reading is wrong, replace the oven temperature probe.

If the reading is correct, replace the EOC.

F10 error is: Runaway Temperature

what you can do:

1. (F10 only) Check *RTD Sensor Probe & 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.



*RTD SCALE
Temperature (�F) Resistance (ohms) 32 � 1.9 1000 � 4.0 75 � 2.5 1091 � 5.3 250 � 4.4 1453 � 8.9 350 � 5.4 1654 � 10.8 450 � 6.9 1852 � 13.5 550 � 8.2 2047 � 15.8 650 � 9.6 2237 � 18.5 900 � 13.6 2697 � 24.4

hope the chart dont get jumpled if it does go to

please rate this and check fixya if it has answered what the f10 error is. for safety reasons I wouldn't use it if it tends to keep getting way over heated until you have replaced what I said above or have had it serviced.

The F10 indicates that the electronic oven control board senses a runaway temperature condition in the oven through the oven sensor circuit.
This can be caused by a faulty oven temperature sensor probe or a failed electronic control board.
Oven temperature is detected by the control board as it monitors the resistance through the oven temperature sensor circuit.
You could have a failed oven temperature sensor, a wiring harness failure, an open thermal switch or a failed electronic oven control board that would cause this problem.
The first component to check would normally be the oven temperature sensor probe.
If you have a volt/ohm meter, you can shut off the breaker for the range and remove the screws that mount this sensor to the back wall of the oven.
Carefully pull the wire harness into the oven cavity until you get to the wire harness disconnect plug.
You should have enough slack to pull it this far into the oven.
Disconnect the sensor but do not let the wire harness retract back through the back wall of the oven or it will be hard to reconnect.
Measure the resistance of the oven temperature sensor with your volt/ohm meter. At room temperature, the resistance should measure around 1100 ohms.
The resistance chart is shown in the image below.

If the resistance is above 2200 ohms at room temperature, then the sensor probe is causing the F10 error code and will need to be replaced.

You can order a new sensor probe from the Sears PartsDirect website. The part number for the sensor is 316217002.

If the resistance is normal, then one of the other causes mentioned above is producing your F10 code.
You would need to access the electronic oven control board (Timer) in the console and check the resistance at the sensor circuit connection to the control board as the next step in troubleshooting this problem.

Thanks for using FixYa - a 4 THUMBS rating is appreciated for answering your FREE question.

PJC,

From the Frigidaire service manual:

"F10: Runaway Temperature.
SUGGESTED CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. (F10 only) Check RTD Sensor Probe & 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."


-hopefully it's just a bad temperature sensor!

The "F10" error code caused by the runaway temperature.

The first thing I would check is the resistance across the oven temperature probe (oven temperature sensor) terminals at the EOC (electronic oven control) plug.

It will be about 1100 Ohms at the room temperature.

If the resistance at the EOC plug is wrong, then measure the oven temperature probe resistance at the probe plug.

If it's wrong - replace the oven temperature probe. It's better to hardwire it, using a high temperature ceramic wire nuts.

If the readings at the EOC and at the oven temperature probe plug are different - check the wire harness between the oven temperature probe and the EOC.

If there is nothing wrong with the oven temperature probe resistance - replace the EOC.
