F30

Frigidaire Oven

Severity: Moderate

What Does This Error Mean?

F30 means the oven temperature sensor has an open circuit — it is either disconnected or has failed. The oven will not heat until the sensor is reconnected or replaced.

Affected Models

  • Frigidaire Electric Range
  • Frigidaire Gas Range
  • Frigidaire Gallery Range
  • Frigidaire Professional Range
  • Frigidaire FGEF Series

Common Causes

  • Open or failed oven temperature sensor (RTD probe)
  • Disconnected or broken sensor wire connector
  • Damaged sensor wire from heat or physical contact
  • Control board unable to receive any signal from the sensor

How to Fix It

  1. Reset the oven.

    Turn off the circuit breaker for 5 minutes. If a loose connector was temporarily disturbed and reseated itself, the reset may clear F30.

  2. Check the sensor wire connector.

    The sensor probe is mounted inside the upper-rear corner of the oven cavity. Pull the range away from the wall and check the sensor wire connector at the back. Reseat it firmly.

  3. Test the temperature sensor with a multimeter.

    Disconnect the sensor and test resistance. At room temperature, Frigidaire sensors typically read around 1,100 ohms. A reading of infinite resistance (open) confirms the sensor has failed — replace it.

When to Call a Professional

Testing and replacing a Frigidaire oven sensor is a straightforward DIY repair. If F30 returns after a new sensor, a technician should check the wiring harness and control board.
