Frigidaire Oven F2 — Oven Over-Temperature
Frigidaire Oven · Error code F2
What F2 Means
The control sensed the oven cavity exceeded the safety limit (typically ~615°F bake / ~915°F clean). Heat is cut off immediately. This is a real safety event — find the cause before using the oven again.
Symptoms
- F2 displayed mid-cook or during self-clean
- Oven much hotter than the set point before fault
- Burn smell or smoking
Common Causes
Relay contacts fused closed — element stays energized regardless of demand. Common after years of service. Safety critical.
Sensor under-reports, so the EOC keeps adding heat past the real target.
Damaged harness fools the control.
Control logic letting heat run.
How to Fix It
- Turn the breaker off and let the oven cool fully before opening.
- With power off, inspect the bake and broil elements for arcing or shorts to ground.
- Restore power briefly — if any element glows without a cook command, the EOC's relay is welded; replace the EOC.
- Test the oven sensor — ~1080 ohms at room temp; replace if out of spec.
- Do not return the oven to service until the over-temperature root cause is fixed.
