Customer Questions and Answers for Heating Element by Frigidaire

4.89 (64)
By: Frigidaire
Part Number: OEM16770402
Manufacturer Part Number: 318255006

The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking or broiling. The element converts electrical energy into heat through resistance; this heat is then distributed throughout the oven cavity to cook or bake food evenly. 

Common causes of a bad Heating Element can include visible signs of damage like blistering, bulging, or breakage. A burnout may occur when the element overheats and fails, leading to no heat production. Additionally, electrical issues like a blown fuse or faulty wiring can prevent the element from receiving power.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element include:

  • The oven does not heat up
  • Uneven cooking or baking
  • Longer cooking times than usual
  • The element not glowing when the oven is turned on

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Answer

Hi Christine, it is pretty much the same as shown in the video on our website. Take a look at the repair video on the link for your element 318255006 and you will see how easy it is. The element and range in the video may look different from yours but it is the same process. Disconnect the power from your range by unplugging it or flipping the breaker off. Remove the screws mounting your element to the back wall and slide the element out enough to reach the wire connections. Be careful not to let the wires slip back into the hole when you disconnect them from the old element. Remove the old element and attach the wires to the new element. Then mount the new element to the back wall using the same screws you removed earlier. It's as simple as that, hope this helps!
