The F25 error on your Frigidaire means the oven’s electronic control board has detected a stuck or shorted key on the touch pad. Cutting power to the unit for a few minutes and checking the touch pad for damage usually resolves it.

Error code F25
Meaning Touch pad/keypad or control board fault — a key is stuck or shorted
Severity Medium — oven may still work for basic functions but should be checked
Time to fix 10–40 minutes
Tools needed Phillips screwdriver, multimeter (optional)

What the F25 error means

The F25 fault code appears on Frigidaire wall ovens and ranges when the electronic oven control (EOC) senses that one of the touch pad keys is stuck in the “on” position, or there is a communication problem between the touch pad and the main control board. This is similar in nature to how other Frigidaire appliances flag component faults, such as the Frigidaire EF Error Code on refrigerators.

The oven’s software constantly scans the keypad for input, and if it detects a key held down for longer than expected, it locks out normal operation and displays F25 to protect the control board from further strain.

Common causes

  • A physically stuck or damaged button on the touch pad
  • Moisture, grease, or food residue trapped under the keypad surface
  • A failing membrane switch inside the touch pad assembly
  • Loose or corroded ribbon cable connecting the touch pad to the control board
  • A faulty electronic oven control (EOC) board
  • Power surges or electrical spikes affecting the control system

How to fix the F25 error

  1. Power cycle the oven: Turn off the breaker supplying the oven for 5 minutes, then restore power. This clears many temporary control board glitches.
  2. Inspect the touch pad: Look closely for any buttons that appear pressed in, cracked, or sticky. Gently press and release each key to check for resistance issues.
  3. Clean the keypad surface: Wipe the touch pad with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove grease or food debris that may be causing a false key press.
  4. Check the ribbon cable connection: If you’re comfortable removing the control panel, verify the ribbon cable linking the touch pad to the control board is fully seated and free of corrosion.
  5. Replace the touch pad assembly: If a specific key remains unresponsive or stuck after cleaning, the touch pad membrane has likely failed and needs replacing.
  6. Replace the control board: If the error persists after a new touch pad, the electronic oven control board itself may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.

FAQ

Can I still use my oven if it shows F25?
Often the display will lock out cooking functions until the fault clears, so it’s best to power cycle the unit before attempting to bake or broil.

Will resetting the breaker permanently fix F25?
Sometimes, if the cause was a temporary electrical glitch. If the code returns quickly, the touch pad or control board likely needs attention.

Is F25 dangerous to ignore?
It’s not an immediate safety hazard, but ignoring a stuck key fault can lead to erratic oven behavior, so it’s worth addressing promptly.
