34 error codes across 5 appliance types

CodeMeaning
CLCL on a Frigidaire dishwasher display means the Control Lock feature is active. This is not a fault code - it is a child safety lock that disables all control panel buttons except the lock button itself. The dishwasher will not respond to any button presses until CL is deactivated.
low
E20The pump motor or pump circuit has faulted - the control board detected an overcurrent, open circuit, or communication failure in the pump motor circuit
high
E30The detergent or rinse aid dispenser solenoid circuit has faulted - the dispenser did not open at the expected point in the wash cycle
moderate
ER/UOThe door lock mechanism failed to engage or disengage properly - the control board sent a lock or unlock command and did not receive confirmation from the latch assembly
moderate
F3The high-limit thermostat has tripped, detecting water temperature above the safe maximum or detecting an open circuit condition on the thermostat
high

low
I20The drain cycle ran but the water level in the tub did not drop to the expected level within the allowed time
moderate
I30The base pan overflow float has been raised, indicating water in the drip tray beneath the tub
critical
I40The water level sensor did not detect sufficient water filling the tub within the expected time window after the inlet valve was activated
moderate
PFPower to the dishwasher was interrupted mid-cycle. PF is informational - it records that a power loss occurred, not that a component has failed.

CodeMeaning
F1F1 on a Frigidaire oven means the main Electronic Range Control (ERC) board has detected an internal failure. This is the board's self-diagnostic reporting that its own processing, memory, or component circuits have failed. Unlike F10 or F27 which point to specific relay failures, F1 is a general control board fault that typically requires full board replacement.
high
F10F10 on a Frigidaire oven means the control board has detected a runaway temperature condition - the oven is exceeding the safe operating limit. Unlike many brands where a similar code indicates a sensor fault, Frigidaire F10 is most often caused by the bake relay on the control board sticking in the closed position, which makes the oven heat continuously with no upper limit.
high
F11F11 on a Frigidaire oven means the control board has detected a shorted or stuck key on the touchpad. The oven registers a key as continuously pressed, which is a safety lockout condition. On FGEF3059TF, FGEF3062TF, and FPEF3077QF models this is overwhelmingly caused by the flex cable between the touchpad membrane and the control board delaminaing from heat cycling.
medium
F12F12 on a Frigidaire oven means the main control board has lost communication with a secondary board or internal module. The fault indicates that the data bus between the primary ERC (Electronic Range Control) and a secondary component such as a display board, relay board, or temperature module has failed or timed out.
medium
F15F15 on a Frigidaire oven means the control board has lost communication with a secondary module or has detected an internal communication timeout. F15 is similar to F12 in indicating a data bus fault, but may specifically reference a different communication channel or secondary component depending on the model.
medium
F16F16 on a Frigidaire oven means the meat probe (food temperature probe) circuit is registering a short - the probe or its connector is reading near-zero resistance when it should be open or reading a valid food temperature. The oven will disable the probe-based cooking functions and may display F16 even if the probe is not in use.
low
F22F22 on a Frigidaire oven means the door lock system has failed to complete a lock or unlock cycle. The control board expected the door latch position switch to confirm that the door had locked or unlocked, but the confirmation signal was never received within the timeout window. The oven door may be stuck in the locked position.
medium
F27F27 on a Frigidaire oven means the control board has detected that the bake relay is stuck in the closed position - the relay continues to supply power to the bake element even after the control board has commanded it to open. This is a safety-critical fault because the oven can overheat if the relay does not open.
high
F3F3 on a Frigidaire oven means the RTD temperature probe circuit is open - the control board is receiving no resistance signal from the probe, which the board interprets as an extreme temperature reading or a broken sensor circuit. The oven will not heat until the probe is repaired or replaced.
medium
F30F30 on a Frigidaire oven means the lower oven RTD temperature probe circuit is completely open - the control board is receiving infinite resistance from the lower probe, which indicates a broken sensor wire. This code appears only on double oven models (such as FGEW276SPF) and disables the lower oven heating functions.
medium
F31F31 on a Frigidaire oven means the lower oven RTD temperature probe has a fault condition - the resistance reading is out of range (either too high, indicating near-open, or the circuit has a shorted reading). F31 applies specifically to double oven models like the FGEW276SPF that have separate upper and lower oven cavities with independent temperature sensors. The lower oven element and bake functions will be disabled.
medium
F50F50 on a Frigidaire oven means the door latch mechanism has failed to complete its lock or unlock cycle within the expected time. This code almost always appears in relation to the self-clean function, which requires the door to lock before the high-temperature cycle begins. The latch motor, latch arm, or latch position switch may be the fault point.
medium
F90F90 on a Frigidaire oven means the door latch motor has failed electrically or mechanically. The control board sent the signal to lock the door and received no confirmation that the latch reached its locked position. This is a more specific diagnosis than F50 - F90 points directly to the latch motor rather than a general timeout in the latch mechanism.
medium
HUBFrigidaire ovens display F and E prefix fault codes to identify failures in the control board, RTD temperature probe, door latch, keypad, and relay systems. Understanding the code prefix is the first diagnostic step - F10 and F11 are the two most safety-critical codes and require immediate action.

CodeMeaning
CECE on a Frigidaire refrigerator indicates a communication error between the main control board and the display/user interface board.
medium
F3F3 on a Frigidaire refrigerator means a temperature sensor has failed. The sensor is either open circuit, short circuit, or reading far outside the expected range.
medium
H1H1 on a Frigidaire refrigerator means the internal temperature has risen above the safe threshold. This is a temperature alarm, not necessarily a component fault. H1 is the most common Frigidaire fridge code.
