Parts for Frigidaire PLEW30S3DCA: 03 - Body Parts

The Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and ovens. It is responsible for controlling the temperature and operation of the warming drawer or zone feature.

Causes of a bad Switch can include electrical malfunctions or short circuits, mechanical wear from repeated use, and exposure to moisture or debris.

Symptoms of a bad Switch include:

• Inability to activate or control the warming drawer or zone
• Erratic temperature fluctuations
• Overheating or failure to heat the warming area

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This truss-head machine screw secures a switch to its mounting bracket or panel. Replacing a worn or missing screw restores a solid, aligned switch fit for reliable operation.

• Fastens the switch body to a bracket or chassis panel
• Helps keep the switch aligned for consistent actuation
• Replaces stripped, corroded, or missing mounting hardware
• Common symptoms: loose or wobbly switch, misalignment, rattling or vibration around the switch area

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Verify thread size and length match the original hardware
• If multiple screws secure the switch, replace them in a consistent pattern to maintain alignment

This oven lower bake element is the heating element that warms the oven cavity for baking and roasting. It restores proper baking heat so food cooks evenly and reaches set temperatures. What it does:

• Generates heat for the oven's bake function to cook and brown food
• Commonly causes no-heat or weak-heat oven symptoms when failed
• Can cause uneven baking or longer preheat times if damaged
• May show visible breaks, burn spots, or arcing when defective

• Disconnect electrical power to the appliance before starting any work
• Handle carefully and avoid bending the element; use gloves to protect hands
• Verify proper wire connections and secure mounting during reassembly

This spacer positions and supports components to maintain proper alignment and clearance in the appliance. It prevents rubbing and ensures panels or parts sit correctly for reliable operation. What it does:

• Keeps panels, brackets or assemblies spaced correctly to prevent contact and wear
• Restores proper alignment to reduce vibration, noise or rubbing symptoms
• Maintains clearance for airflow or moving parts where specified
• Provides a stable mounting point for adjacent components

• One spacer

• Install in the location shown in the service diagram and secure with the original fasteners
• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning service to avoid shock or injury
• If the original spacer shows damage or distortion, replace it to restore correct fit

This snap bushing is a push-in panel grommet that protects and secures wiring where harnesses pass through metal or plastic panels. It prevents chafing and helps keep wire routing neat for safer operation. What it does:

• Cushions and shields wires from sharp panel edges to reduce abrasion and shorts
• Secures wiring harnesses in place to prevent unwanted movement or snagging
• Provides a finished, vibration-resistant pass-through for electrical leads
• Commonly replaced when the original bushing is cracked, broken, or missing

• One snap bushing

• Disconnect power before servicing electrical components
• Press-fit into the panel hole until the bushing snaps into place; confirm a secure fit
• Replace if brittle, torn, or deformed; do not use a damaged bushing
• Use pliers for removal if needed; avoid forcing or enlarging the hole

This mounting bracket secures internal components or panels to restore proper alignment and reduce noise. It's a simple replacement that helps stop loose or vibrating parts and keeps service panels and assemblies held firmly in place. What it does:

• Provides a secure attachment point for a panel, trim piece or internal assembly
• Prevents rattling or vibration caused by loose hardware
• Restores proper alignment of removable panels and helps maintain component spacing
• Common symptom: loose or shifting panels, rattling during operation, or visible gap at seams

• Disconnect power (unplug unit or switch off circuit) before starting any repair
• Remove access panels as needed to reach the bracket; keep all original fasteners for reinstallation
• Use appropriate hand tools; avoid overtightening screws which can strip threads or deform the bracket
• If the bracket secures electrical components, secure connections before restoring power

Specs: 10-32 X 0.375

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts

This replacement screw secures appliance panels, brackets, and internal components. It restores a tight, rattle-free fit and proper alignment when an original fastener is missing, stripped, or corroded.

• Fastens metal or plastic parts to the cabinet/frame
• Helps maintain alignment and reduce vibration or rattling
• Direct replacement for lost, damaged, or rusted hardware
• Keeps covers and brackets safely in place

• Disconnect power before servicing; for gas appliances, also shut off gas supply
• Match one-for-one with the original screw; verify length/type before installation
• Start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten snugly without overtightening
• Use the correct driver bit to prevent stripping the screw head
