Causes of a bad indicator light can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear over time, or damage from power surges or excessive heat.

Symptoms of a bad indicator light include:

• Light not illuminating when the range or oven is in use
• Flickering or inconsistent illumination
• Light staying on constantly, even when the range or oven is off
• Visible damage or discoloration of the light

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Small Surface Element Switch is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. It serves as the control knob and circuitry to safely power one of the smaller cooking elements. 

Symptoms of a bad surface element switch include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate heating for its assigned zone
• Switch knob that feels loose, won't click smoothly, or won't stay set  
• Intermittent or unreliable power to the smaller element coils
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use that don't reset

Causes relate to thousands of rotations wearing micro-switches and wiring terminals within the control assembly. Regular cleaning around knobs can prevent accelerated deterioration from baked-on debris conducting excess heat.
