Customer Questions and Answers for Element by Frigidaire

Terry, "The procedure for servicing the smooth glass cooktop and surface elements is the same as in previous models. The front of the cooktop can be lifted by removing the two screws that secure it to the range chassis(in the top of the oven door opening). With the cooktop in the raised position the surface heating elements, warmer zone element and their wiring connections are accessible. The top can be held open by using a wood or plastic prop rod approximately 28 inches long. 1. Before removing the element be sure to note the locations of the element mounting clips in the support channel slot. The replacement element must be installed in the same position. 2. Carefully remove the wires from the element. Take note of the terminal identification on the element terminal block for each wire connection. 3. Before the element can be removed from the support channel the locking tab on the mounting clip must be closed 4. Remove the mounting screw that secures the element support channel to the cooktop. by squeezing shut with a pair of pliers. After the repair is complete the tab can be re-opened by using an awl or similar instrument. 5. Carefully pull the support channel away from the cooktop far enough to disengage the element mounting clips from the channel. Slide the element out from between the support channel and the cooktop. Reinstall or replace the element by reversing steps." Good Luck and Thanks
