Gary S. for Model Number Frigidaire FEC3056ASF Our cooktop had the same problem as others with the front right burner not turning off. I ordered and received the proper part and screws and easily replaced the switch. One minor issue was that the "Off" position is now at the 3:00 position, rather than 12:00 as the other controls are. The major issue is that when turning the power and the control back on, there was a "pop" and the circuit breaker tripped. Before turning the bottom right burner on, I tested the others, which worked fine. Did I kill the stovetop or does the fact that a new control did not work mean there is something else wrong? The terminals are slightly different than the original part, but I matched up as well as possible (I don't have the original wiring diagram). Thanks.
Answer Hi Gary. Are you referring to the rt. front burner ? The manufactures will send the infinite switch shaft pushed in , engaged position. It will give the wrong positioning and mis guide you. Remove the power and make sure the knob aligns in -off- position. The correct part number for the large element switch is 318293825. You will have to purchase new screws 5303288565 with the updated switch, as the old screws will damage the new switch. Under the unit in a sealed plastic bag is the wiring diagram for your unit. The regular element wiring is the L-1 blk. wire goes to the L-1 at the switch. One double Yellow from H1 to the element and the other going to the surface light indicator. L-2 has a red wire and the H-2 has a white wire going to the limiter. Make sure that your wires do not touch any others as they will short out and trip breakers on purpose. Thank You. Read More...
