Runaway temperature detected

The most common cause of the F10 error on a Electrolux oven is failed RTD temperature probe (~45% of cases); start with: cut power if the oven is heating uncontrolled.

What Does Error Code F10 Mean on a Electrolux Oven?

Runaway temperature detected.

F10 fires when the EOC reads cavity temperature exceeding a safe threshold — either a true thermal runaway or an RTD probe feeding false readings to the control. The board cuts power to the elements and may latch the door on self-clean models. Unlike F11/F13/F14, which flag an open, shorted, or out-of-range probe signal, F10 specifically indicates the sensed temperature is climbing past limits, whether from a welded relay keeping elements energized or a probe misreporting.

Models affected: Electrolux electric wall ovens and freestanding ranges with an electronic oven control (EOC) and RTD temperature probe
What owners report: Owners commonly report F10 appearing during high-heat baking or self-clean cycles, and sometimes it's a false trigger from a drifting or shorted probe rather than a real runaway. A frequent quick win is testing the RTD (roughly 1080Ω at room temperature) before assuming the control board has failed. Any oven that actually heats on its own should be unpowered immediately.

What Causes Error Code F10?

Here are the most common causes in order of frequency. Start with the most likely cause before moving to the next:

  1. 1
    Failed RTD temperature probe 45% of cases
  2. 2
    Welded/stuck relay on the oven control board 35% of cases
  3. 3
    Shorted probe wiring harness 20% of cases

How to Fix Electrolux Oven Error Code F10

🔧🔧🔧 Advanced DIY Est. time: 1–3 hours
⚡ Safety first: Unplug the appliance before opening any panels or touching internal components.
  1. 1

    Cut power if the oven is heating uncontrolled

    If the oven heats while set to off, turn off the breaker immediately.

    ⚠️ A genuine runaway is a fire risk — do not leave the oven powered unattended.
  2. 2

    Test the RTD probe

    Unplug the range and measure the probe — about 1080Ω at room temperature is normal; far off means replacement.

    🔩 Electrolux oven temperature probe/RTD ($25–$60)
    ⚠️ Disconnect power before testing — range circuits are 240V.
  3. 3

    Replace the oven control board

    If the probe is in spec, a stuck heating relay on the EOC is the cause.

    🔩 Electrolux oven control board (EOC) ($150–$300)

How to Reset Error Code F10

Turn off the breaker for 5 minutes. If F10 returns or the oven self-heats, leave power off and repair before use.

Note: If the error returns after resetting, the underlying issue has not been resolved. Work through the fix steps above.

When to Call a Professional

Any oven that heats on its own must be repaired by a pro before further use.

Average professional repair cost for this issue: $220–$450

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep using my Electrolux Oven when error F10 appears? +
No — stop using the oven right away. F10 is a critical temperature fault, and continuing to run it risks further damage or a safety hazard. Unplug it and resolve the fault before the next cycle.
What most commonly causes F10 on a Electrolux Oven? +
Across reported Electrolux oven repairs, the most frequent is failed RTD temperature probe (45% of cases), welded/stuck relay on the oven control board (35%), then shorted probe wiring harness (20%). Check them in that order before replacing any parts.
F10 keeps coming back after a reset — what should I check next? +
A reset only clears the stored F10 fault; if it returns, the temperature problem is still present. Move on to the physical checks — cut power if the oven is heating uncontrolled, then test the RTD probe — since the code will reappear until the root cause is resolved. This is an advanced repair involving deeper disassembly or electrical testing.
How much does it cost to fix Electrolux Oven error F10? +
A DIY repair typically runs $25–$300 in parts, versus $220–$450 for a professional service call, so handling it yourself saves around $195. Expect the work to take 1–3 hours.
Which Electrolux Oven models show error F10? +
F10 is documented on Electrolux electric wall ovens and freestanding ranges with an electronic oven control (EOC) and RTD temperature probe. Other units sharing the same control platform can display it too, so the fixes here generally transfer across the series.
