Frigidaire Oven F27 Error Code: Bake Relay Stuck Closed

Quick Answer

Frigidaire F27 is directly related to F10 - both involve the bake relay sticking closed on the control board. The distinction is that F27 is specifically the relay-stuck-closed detection, while F10 is the resulting temperature runaway that follows when the relay stays on. F27 may appear before F10 if the board detects the relay fault before the temperature climbs too high. On Frigidaire boards, the bake relay is a mechanical relay that welds its contacts closed after repeated thermal cycling. When F27 appears, treat it with the same urgency as F10: cut power at the breaker and replace the control board before using the oven again.

What Does the F27 Code Mean?

Frigidaire F27 means the bake relay on the control board is stuck closed. Cut power at the breaker immediately. This is a safety fault - the oven may continue heating. Replace the control board before using the oven again.

Most Likely Causes

Based on aggregated repair data, here is the probability breakdown for this error code:

Bake relay contacts welded closed from repeated thermal cycling40%

Control board relay driver circuit failed keeping relay energized24%

Age-related relay degradation after 10+ years22%

Relay contact arcing from voltage spike14%

Symptoms You May Notice

F27 displayed on oven control panel
Oven may continue to heat after cycle ends
Oven overheating or reaching higher-than-set temperatures
F27 may appear with or shortly before F10

Can you reset a Frigidaire oven to clear the F27 code?

Do NOT reset F27 and continue using the oven. The relay is physically stuck and will continue the fault. Disconnect power, replace the control board, then restore power and verify the oven cycles properly at a set temperature before considering the repair complete.

Diagnostic Checklist

Follow these steps in order. We start with the easiest external fixes before opening up the machine.

Cut power at the circuit breaker immediately

Cut power at the circuit breaker immediately. Do not attempt to diagnose or operate the oven with power on when F27 is displayed. The bake element may be energized and the oven may be overheating. Allow the oven to cool completely before any further action.

With power off and oven cooled

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Frigidaire F27 and F10?

F27 is the detection of the bake relay being stuck closed. F10 is the temperature runaway that results from the relay staying on. F27 may appear first if the board detects the relay fault before the temperature climbs dangerously. Both require the same response: cut power immediately and replace the control board. Treat F27 with the same urgency as F10.

Can the Frigidaire bake relay be replaced individually instead of the whole board?

The relay itself is a solderable component on the control board PCB. A skilled electronics technician with soldering equipment can replace just the relay, which costs about $5-10. However, this requires desoldering skills and the correct relay part specification. For most homeowners, replacing the complete control board is the practical and reliable repair.

My Frigidaire oven showed F27 and then got very hot - is that normal?

That is exactly what F27 predicts. The bake relay stuck closed, the board flagged it as F27, and then the oven continued heating because the relay was not opening. This is a safety fault. Cut the circuit breaker immediately if the oven is hot, wait for it to cool completely, and replace the control board before using the oven again.
