Hi,

We changed the lower bake element of the stove. Now it works for a while and then it turns of and gives the follwing fault code F-10 which does not exist. It seems as if the oven keeps heating and does not stop until the oven turns itself of and then gives me the f-10 code.

In addition, when we tested the self cleaning option it caused our breaker to jump.

The element we changed had whole burned threw it. When it self destructed, tt became realy red in one spot and did a loud poping sound.

What could be the problem? :confused:

Very likely it caused a damage to the control board. The correction is to replace the control board (aka a clock/timer).

I had my bake element blow out on my 4 year old frigidaire. After replacing the element the oven would not heat. I replaced the control board (timer) and the oven works. I suspect the voltage surge when the element blows damages the control board. I don't know why you get an F10 error, but i suspect your board is damaged.
Befor you order the board, you may want to check your temperature probe. If it isn't working correctly your oven may be overheating and the safety thermostat shutting it off.

below is a link to a video for checking the temperature probe.
