Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep using my Frigidaire Oven when error F93 appears? +
You often can for a cycle or two, but the door issue behind F93 will keep interrupting normal operation until it is fixed. Plan the repair rather than ignoring the code.

F93 keeps coming back after a reset — what should I check next? +
A reset only clears the stored F93 fault; if it returns, the door problem is still present.

This is a moderate job — a multimeter and some disassembly are usually involved.
