My kenmore oven flashes code f10 and I am not even using it. how do I fix this? I purchased my Kenmore Gas Range Model 790 in Nov. 2004. I have same problem. F10 code. I called Sears and same thing, clear it and reset, other than that it was a servie tech charge, etc. I declined. It has happened about 8 times since then. I still have no answer. I did check for the manufacture for Sears/Kenmore and it says this particular model 790 was manufactured by WCI, but they give no information troubleshooting the code.

The F10 code on a Kenmore oven means that the oven is overheating - the oven is detecting a temperature far over the safe range of operation. Most models also start beeping when this happens since it can be a safety concern.Apr. 14, 2020
If your Kenmore unit's model number starts with 790, an F10 error means that the oven temperature sensor is seeing a runaway temperature reading. This could mean that the sensor or the "clock" (electronic control unit) is bad. (Sometimes it could be the element but usually you'll see that easily.)
Unplug the unit (or flip the circuit breaker to off) for about 30 minutes to reset the error. If it recurs, you'll need to do additional troubleshooting to determine the fault. Please add a comment with the complete model number of your oven/range for additional assistance. searspartsdirect.com will probably have a parts diagram and parts list for your oven or range.
Hello,Please use the chart to determine which stove you have. You will have
to look at the model number. The first 3 numbers will be the series on
the chart. In most cases an F1 error would require replacement of the
electronic control. This part is commonly refered to as an EOC or ERC.
However this type of repair is usually reserved for repair specialists.

Same thing happened to mine this morning....cut the circuit breaker for a hour....open oven and let it cool....
