Frigidaire Oven Not Heating or Showing F10/F30 Error? Temperature Sensor 316490000 – Fix Oven Temperature Fast
When your Frigidaire or Electrolux oven won't reach temperature, bakes unevenly, or throws an F10, F11, F30, or F31 error code, the oven temperature sensor is the first component to test. In most Frigidaire-built electric and gas ranges, this NTC thermistor probe continuously reports cavity temperature to the control board — when it fails, the board loses accurate feedback and shuts down heat or runs uncontrolled. ⚡ Common failure point in Frigidaire and Electrolux-built ranges. Part 316490000 is the genuine OEM replacement sensor that restores closed-loop temperature control and eliminates error codes immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your range powers on normally — display, clock, and burners work
- ✔ Broil may still work — only bake temperature is inaccurate or absent
- ✔ Power supply is confirmed OK — no tripped breakers
- ✔ The control board has not been previously replaced or diagnosed as faulty
- ✔ ONLY problem is oven not heating, overheating, uneven baking, or F10/F11/F30/F31 error codes

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven not heating or not reaching set temperature — most common search symptom
- F10, F11, F30, or F31 error code on the display
- Oven overheating or running too hot
- Uneven baking — food burns on top but bottom stays raw
- Oven temperature fluctuates or cycles erratically during cooking
- Self-clean cycle not completing or triggering a runaway temperature error
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this temperature sensor restores normal oven operation immediately.

If error codes persist after replacing the sensor, inspect the electronic control board next — a failed board can mimic sensor symptoms and will not be resolved by sensor replacement alone. Testing the sensor with a multimeter (should read ~1,100 ohms at room temperature) before ordering confirms the sensor is actually the fault.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Easy — 10–15 minutes. Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before beginning. The sensor is located on the rear wall of the oven cavity, held by a single Phillips screw. Remove the screw, pull the sensor forward, and disconnect the 2-wire harness connector — no soldering required. Thread the new sensor wire through the same hole, reconnect the harness, reinstall the screw, and restore power. Run a temperature calibration cycle to confirm accurate readings before cooking.

💡 Pro Tip
A healthy 316490000 sensor reads approximately 1,080–1,100 ohms resistance at room temperature (70°F/21°C). An open circuit (OL/infinite reading) or a reading far outside this range confirms sensor failure — even with no visible damage to the probe. This 60-second test prevents ordering the wrong part when the real fault is the control board.
