To reset a Frigidaire oven, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the oven and unplug it from the power source.

Like all ovens, Frigidaire ovens have a manufacturer setting for temperature calibration. If you or a previous occupant have changed the calibration and you want to restore the factory settings, resetting the oven temperature is a straightforward process. You can also complete a Frigidaire F10 fix if you have received an F10 error code.
Why Reset Your Oven?
If you are new to your house or apartment, the previous tenant may have inadvertently changed the internal temperature settings on your oven. Alternatively, you may have experimented with a new style of cooking or baking and want to alter how long something takes in the oven. Whatever the reason, resetting the temperature controls for your Frigidaire oven is simple, but check your user manual to confirm that your model follows a similar process.
If you have questions about resetting your oven to factory settings or adjusting the internal temperature, contact Frigidaire. Their technicians can offer guidance to prevent under-cooked or overdone dishes.
Lower Internal Temperatures
If you want to lower the base temperature of your Frigidaire oven, press the “BAKE” button for 6 seconds until a 0 appears on the display. Enter the desired temperature and use the “SELF CLEAN” button to let the oven know you are selecting a cooler temperature. Press “START” to complete the reset. Test the temperature reset the next time you cook or bake to ensure the changes were successful.
Higher Internal Temperatures
To increase the base temperature of your Frigidaire oven, press “BAKE” for 6 seconds until a 0 appears. Enter the desired temperature increase and press “START.” Gradually adjust the temperature and test your changes to prevent overcooking or burning. Check the temperature reset the next time you prepare a recipe to ensure the oven’s base temperature is not too hot.
