The fix
Oven temperature sensor (RTD probe)
Runaway temperature - oven overheating
Diagnose first: RTD should read ~1080 ohms at 70F. If sensor is in spec, the EOC bake relay is welded closed - replace the EOC. Disconnect power immediately to prevent fire.

How to fix it
- Turn the oven off. If it continues heating after being switched off, shut off the circuit breaker immediately (a stuck relay keeps the element powered) and let the oven cool.
- Unplug and test the oven sensor's resistance against the spec chart in your model's manual at a known room temperature.
- If the sensor is good, the EOC (electronic oven control) likely has a stuck relay and needs replacement.
Why it happens
Typical signs: Oven shuts off and alarms · Oven overheating · F10 on the display
- Faulty oven sensor (RTD) A drifting sensor mis-reports temperature.
- Stuck relay on the EOC (control board) A welded relay keeps an element powered — common Frigidaire cause.
