Frigidaire Appliance Repair Near Me in The Colony, TX
Frigidaire has been part of American kitchens for more than a century. It started in Fort Wayne, Indiana in 1918 as the Guardian Frigerator Company, took the Frigidaire name in 1919, and was owned by General Motors until 1979. We repair Frigidaire appliances across The Colony and nearby cities, and we start with the code on the display and the model on the tag.
Today Frigidaire belongs to Electrolux, which bought White Consolidated Industries in 1986. Frigidaire is the U.S. consumer appliance brand of that Swedish group, and some designs are shared, so our Electrolux repair page may help if yours is a sister model.
Frigidaire's own support pages give a code for most range and dishwasher faults and a clear next step. We read the code, then test the part. Our guide to finding your Frigidaire model number shows the usual tag spots, and our note on the 30 second reset and the 30 day rule explains the first two steps Frigidaire suggests.
What you get with every Frigidaire call
- A person takes your details and books the first opening.
- We ask for the exact code and how long ago it was installed.
- We try the safe reset steps before we pull a part.
- We tell you the price first and wait for your yes.
- We point out the fault and explain it in plain words.
- You get honest advice on repair or replace, with no pressure.
Many Frigidaire range codes clear with a simple power reset, and Frigidaire's pages say so. Cutting power for up to 30 seconds is the first step for F1, F10, and F13. We try it first, and if the code returns, we test the part behind it.
Frigidaire Refrigerator, Range, Dishwasher, and Laundry Repair
Below are the Frigidaire appliances we work on most. Each one links to a full repair guide.

Frigidaire Range Codes: The 30 Second Reset and the 30 Day Rule
Frigidaire's range pages give two steps for most F codes: reset the power, then call the right person. Here is what both steps mean in practice.
For range codes such as F1, F10, and F13, Frigidaire says to reset the range by cutting power for up to 30 seconds. You can unplug it or switch its breaker off and back on. Many electronic faults clear this way, and it is a safe first step. Do it once and note whether the code comes back.
If the code returns, Frigidaire's pages split the next step by timing. A range installed within the past 30 days goes back to the installer, because the problem may be in the installation. A range installed more than 30 days ago goes to service. We handle the second case.
F10 deserves a note. Frigidaire calls it Thermal Runaway, a heat related fault on an electric range, so treat it seriously. If the oven feels hotter than its setting, switch it off at the breaker instead of waiting for the reset to work.
Safety first. If an oven runs hotter than its setting, or a code returns after the reset, switch the range off at the breaker and leave the repair to a technician.
Tell us these things about your Frigidaire
- The exact code, such as F10 or F13.
- Whether the range is electric or gas.
- How long ago it was installed.
- Whether you already tried the 30 second reset.
Common Frigidaire Problems and How We Fix Them
Here is what usually goes wrong on a Frigidaire, how to recognise it, and how we put it right.
Where Frigidaire faults usually start
- Range
- Oven sensor, bake and broil elements, control board, and door lock.
- Cooktop
- Surface elements, igniters, spark modules, and switches.
- Refrigerator
- Evaporator fan, defrost heater, water valve, and condenser fan.
- Dishwasher
- Drain pump, filter, heater, and the control.
- Washer
- Drain pump, lid or door lock, inlet valve, and suspension.
- Dryer
- Element or burner, thermal fuse, sensor, and drive belt.
Range will not heat or shows F10
The oven stays cold, heats too much, or the display shows F10 or F3.
- Likely cause
- A failed oven sensor, a stuck relay, or a control fault.
- Our fix
- We reset the power, then test the sensor and the relays before we replace the control.
Range display or keypad dead
The display is blank, buttons do not respond, or the display shows F1 or F13.
- Likely cause
- A shorted key pad, a failed control board, or a loose ribbon connection.
- Our fix
- We reseat the connections, test the keypad, and replace the control only if it fails.
Oven door will not unlock
The door stays locked after a self clean, or the display shows an F90 series code.
- Likely cause
- A failed door lock motor, a bad latch switch, or a wiring fault.
- Our fix
- We test the lock motor and the switch, and check the wiring.
Cooktop burner will not light or heat
A gas burner sparks and stays dark, or a radiant element never glows.
- Likely cause
- Food residue on the igniter, a worn spark module, or a switch or element that burned out.
- Our fix
- We clean the igniter, then test the module and the switch before replacing anything.
Dishwasher will not drain
Water stands in the tub, or the display shows i20.
- Likely cause
- A disposer plug left in, a kinked hose, a clogged filter, or a failed pump.
- Our fix
- We check the plug, the hose, and the filter, then test the pump.
Dishwasher does not heat or clean
Dishes come out cool or dirty, or the display shows Hd or HO.
- Likely cause
- A failed heating element, a clogged filter, or a weak pump.
- Our fix
- We test the heater and the pump, and clean the filter and the glass trap.
Refrigerator not cooling
Food warms up while the freezer frosts over, or the compressor never shuts off.
- Likely cause
- An evaporator fan that quit, a defrost heater that failed, or coils clogged with lint.
- Our fix
- We clean the coils, run each fan, and test the defrost heater and sensor.
Washer or dryer problem
A washer will not drain or spin, or a dryer runs without heat.
- Likely cause
- A pump choked with lint, a lid or door lock that failed, a blocked vent, or a dead heating element.
- Our fix
- We clear the drain and the vent, then meter the lock, the element, and the thermal fuse.
Frigidaire refrigerators and ranges often sit in homes for many years. Vacuuming the condenser coils and wiping up spills around burners keeps both working longer.

Frigidaire Error Codes: What F1, F10, F13, F30, i20, and i40 Mean
These are the Frigidaire codes we meet most often, with Frigidaire's meaning and the part we check next. Ranges come first, then the dishwasher.
| Code | What it means | What we check |
|---|---|---|
| F1 on a range | A shorted key pad. | Keypad ribbon, touch panel, and control board. |
| F10 on a range | Thermal runaway, a heat related fault. | Oven sensor, relays, and the control. |
| F13 on a range | EEPROM failure, a fault in the control memory. | Control board and its power supply. |
| F3, F20, or F26 on a range | A communication error. | Wire harness and control connections. |
| F30 or F31 on a range | An open or shorted oven probe. | Oven sensor probe and its wiring. |
| F40 or F41 on a range | The cooktop is locked out. | Cooktop control and its keypad. |
| F90 to F94 on a range | A door lock issue. | Door lock motor, latch switch, and wiring. |
| i20 on a dishwasher | The dishwasher did not drain completely. | Disposer knockout plug, drain hose, filter, and pump. |
| i40 on a dishwasher | A clogged filter or sump. | Glass trap, filter, and sump. |
| PF on a dishwasher | Loss of power. | Power supply, outlet, and breaker. |
Source for the meanings: Frigidaire product help. Always confirm with the manual for your model.
For range codes, Frigidaire says to cut power for up to 30 seconds. For an i20 on a dishwasher, Frigidaire says to press and hold cancel, switch the breaker off, or unplug the dishwasher for three minutes. If the code comes back after a reset, something real needs a test.
A single line on a Frigidaire range display usually means the cooktop is locked. Frigidaire says to press OFF and hold it for six seconds to cancel the lock. If the code on your display is not listed here, tell us exactly what it shows.
How to Find Your Frigidaire Model Number
Frigidaire parts and code lists are matched by model number, so it helps to find yours. Where the tag sits depends on the appliance. Frigidaire guidance points to these usual places.
Where the model tag usually sits
- Top freezer refrigerator
- On the upper left side wall of the fresh food compartment.
- French door or side by side refrigerator
- On the upper right side of the fresh food compartment.
- Upright freezer
- On the interior side trim, visible with the door open.
- Chest freezer
- On the left exterior wall, above the access panel.
- Range
- On the interior side trim of the oven, the left side panel, or the front frame of the storage drawer.
- Wall oven
- Usually on the interior side trim of the oven, visible with the door open.
- Cooktop
- On the underside of the cooktop base. You reach it by lifting the cooktop.
- Dishwasher
- On the inside of the door, or on the right side of the tub with the door open.
- Front load washer
- On the door trim.
- Top load washer
- On the back of the tub opening, under the lid.
- Dryer
- Along the top of the door opening.
Most of these tags are easy to see. A cooktop tag needs the cooktop lifted, so leave that one to us. Snap a photo of the tag and send or read out the model and serial numbers, since the model number is what picks the parts and the code list.
A faded or hidden tag happens often. Tell us the type, the style, the color, and the rough age of the appliance. We confirm the model on the first visit and order parts only after that.
Frigidaire Not Working? Six Checks Before You Call
Before you book, spend a few minutes on these six checks. A simple fix may be all it takes, and what you find helps us if it is not.
Try the 30 second power reset
For a range that shows F1, F10, or F13, unplug it or switch its breaker off and back on after up to 30 seconds. Frigidaire lists this first for these codes.
Next: If the same code returns, the fault is real and needs a test.
Check for a locked cooktop
If a single line shows on the display and the cooktop will not respond, it may be locked. Press OFF and hold it for six seconds.
Next: A cooktop that unlocks and still fails has a different cause.
Check the dishwasher drain
For i20, confirm the knockout plug in the disposer was removed, the drain hose is not blocked or pinched, the hose sits at least 32 inches off the floor, and the filter is clean.
Next: A clear path with water still standing points to the drain pump.
Let a heat delay finish
Hd or HO on a dishwasher means the unit is heating the water. Frigidaire says to wait for it to finish.
Next: A heat delay that never ends points to the heater.
Check the refrigerator basics
Keep the vents inside clear of food, vacuum the condenser coils, and make sure the door seals close fully.
Next: Frost in the freezer with a warm fridge section points to the fan or the defrost system.
Check the washer and dryer basics
Make sure the washer hoses are open and unkinked and the drain hose is not pinched. For a dryer, clean the lint screen and the vent.
Next: Clear hoses and a clean vent with the fault still showing point to a failed part.
Safety first. Power the appliance down before you clean a filter or reach behind it. If you ever smell gas near a range, avoid switches and flames, go outside, and call your gas company from there.
Problem still there after the checks?
How We Repair a Frigidaire: Four Clear Steps
This is the route from your first call to a Frigidaire that works again, reset tried and cause found.
Tell us the code and the install date
Describe the problem and read us the code exactly as it shows. Tell us how long ago the appliance was installed and whether you tried the reset. A real person answers and finds you the earliest slot.
We test, then plan the repair
Power, water, and drain come first. After that a meter test on the part behind the code tells us whether anything has truly failed.
Clear price, your decision
The technician shows you the failed part and explains the price for the part and the labor. Nothing starts without your yes.
Fix, test, and explain
We complete the repair and test it under normal use. You leave with a working appliance and a clear explanation.
Have this ready for your call
- The code exactly as the display shows it.
- A photo of the model tag, or the number itself.
- How long ago it was installed.
- Whether you tried the 30 second reset.
- Space to get to the front of the appliance.
How to Keep Your Frigidaire Appliances Running Longer
A little routine care goes a long way with a Frigidaire. Start with the habits below.
- Clear dust from the refrigerator coils twice a year.A coated coil cannot shed heat, so the compressor runs hotter.
- Leave room around the vents inside the refrigerator.Blocked vents leave warm spots and make the fan work harder.
- Wipe the cooktop after every spill.Baked on food blocks the igniter and the burner ports.
- Clean the dishwasher filter and glass trap.Food collects there and triggers drain codes.
- Remove the disposer plug on a new dishwasher.A plug left in is a common cause of an i20 code.
- Wipe the keypad with a damp cloth only.Spraying cleaner on the panel lets moisture reach the electronics.
- Empty the dryer lint screen after each load.A coated screen and a clogged duct stretch every cycle.
- Look over the washer hoses once a year.Swelling, kinks, and damp faucets mean a hose is due.
Frigidaire Repair or Replace? A Practical Guide
Frigidaire appliances are widely stocked with parts, which makes repair a strong option for many faults. The age of the unit and the part that failed decide the rest.
A range with a failed sensor or a dead keypad, or a dishwasher with a worn pump, is usually a good repair on a unit that is otherwise sound. The part is common, the fix is quick, and you avoid the work of fitting a new appliance.
A few failures are final. A burned through oven cavity, a split tub, or a sealed system that quit on a very old refrigerator rarely justifies a repair. Our job is to tell you the truth about the repair. We do not sell appliances, so a replacement earns us nothing.

What does F10 mean on a Frigidaire range?
Frigidaire calls F10 Thermal Runaway, a heat related fault on an electric range. Cut power for up to 30 seconds by unplugging the range or switching its breaker off and on. If the code returns, call us and keep the oven off. See our range repair page.
What does F13 mean on a Frigidaire range?
F13 is an EEPROM failure, a fault in the control memory. Frigidaire says to reset the power for up to 30 seconds. If the code stays, the control board usually needs attention.
What does F1 mean on a Frigidaire range?
F1 is a shorted key pad. Reset the range by cutting power for up to 30 seconds. If it returns, the keypad or the control board needs a test.
Why is my Frigidaire range showing a single line and not responding?
A single line on the display usually means the cooktop is locked. Frigidaire says to press OFF and hold it for six seconds to cancel the lock. If the range still does not respond, call us.
What does i20 mean on a Frigidaire dishwasher?
i20 means the dishwasher did not drain properly. Check that the disposer knockout plug is removed, the hose is not blocked or pinched, and the filter and glass trap are clean. To reset, press and hold cancel, switch off the breaker, or unplug it for three minutes. See our dishwasher repair page.
What does i40 mean on a Frigidaire dishwasher?
i40 means a clogged filter or sump. Clean the glass trap and the filter, then run the dishwasher again. If the code stays, the pump or the drain path needs a test.
Why is my Frigidaire refrigerator not cooling?
Coils choked with dust, an evaporator fan that quit, or a defrost fault are the usual causes. Clean the coils and open up the vents first. A warm fridge section above a frosty freezer points to the defrost system or the fan. See our refrigerator repair page.
Where is the model number on my Frigidaire?
Look at the upper left side wall inside a top freezer refrigerator. On a range, check the interior side trim of the oven or the frame of the storage drawer. See our model number guide.
Is Frigidaire the same as Electrolux?
Frigidaire is the U.S. consumer appliance brand of Electrolux, which bought its parent in 1986. They are separate brands with some shared designs. See our Electrolux repair page.
What about my Frigidaire warranty if I call you?
Some warranties name a required repairer and some do not. Check your paperwork, or ask us. We are not tied to Frigidaire.
How much do you charge to repair a Frigidaire?
Cost depends on what failed and what part it needs. We tell you the exact price after the diagnosis and before any work, so there are no surprises.
Is it worth repairing a Frigidaire?
Often, yes. We look at the age of the unit, the part involved, and how the rest of it looks. When replacing is smarter, we tell you.
