Causes can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to heat inside the oven cavity, or accidental damage.

Symptoms of a bad oven light rocker switch include:

• The oven light failing to illuminate when the door is opened
• The light remaining on even when the door is closed
• An inconsistent or flickering oven light
• The switch itself becoming loose, cracked, or non-responsive

Symptoms of a failing Indicator Light Lens include:

• Cracking or damage to the lens that impairs visibility
• Discoloration that makes it hard to tell if the light is on
• The lens becoming loose or falling off

The Screw is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. This part is designed to securely fasten various parts of the appliance, ensuring stability and durability. 

Over time, screws can become loose due to the expansion and contraction of materials with temperature changes. Regular use and the occasional necessary removal for repairs or cleaning can also wear down the threads, making them less effective.  

Symptoms of a bad Screw (Chrome) include:

• Loose or wobbly components that should be securely fastened.
• Difficulty in securing parts due to stripped or damaged screw threads.
• Visible corrosion or deterioration of the screw.
