Kenneth for Model Number PLEF398CCB The inner element of the dual surface element in my Frigidaire Electric Range (PLEF398CCB) stays on (red hot) continuously. It does not turn off by selecting "off" and cannot lower the heat by turning the knob down. I disconnected the wire to the inner element so that I could continue using the stove. The outer part (element) of this dual element works fine and everything else in the stove works fine. What is causing the element to stay on? I suspect it is the thermostat that is attached to the element. This electric range model cycles the surface element on and off to maintain constant heat. What part do I need to replace? Can I purchase the thermostat alone or do I have to buy the entire dual surface element?
Answer Hello Kenneth. Test for power from the board. If the relay is stuck, replace the interface 316239500 for the unit. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, January 16, 2014
