Parts for Frigidaire RE433MDB2: 04 - Cooktop And Broiler Parts

This is the large surface heating unit for an electric range or cooktop. Replacing a failing unit restores consistent stovetop heat so cookware warms predictably and meals cook evenly.

• Provides the heat source for the large burner position on an electric cooktop
• Converts electrical energy into controlled cooking heat
• Replace if the burner won't heat, heats intermittently or unevenly, or shows visible breaks, blistering, or burn spots
• Loose, pitted, or discolored terminals can also indicate the unit is failing

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and allow all components to cool completely
• If your model uses plug-in coils: lift slightly and pull the old unit straight out of the receptacle; align and push the new unit straight in until fully seated
• Inspect the burner receptacle for heat damage before reassembly
• Restore power and test operation on low and high settings

The Coil Burner Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire cooktops and ranges. The 6-inch coil burner element typically consists of a spiral-shaped metal resistance wire or rod that glows red-hot when electricity passes through it. This heat is then transferred to the cooktop surface, allowing it to reach the desired temperature for various cooking tasks, such as boiling, simmering, or sautéing.

Symptoms of a bad coil burner element:

• Burner not heating up properly or failing to reach the desired temperature
• Uneven heating or hot spots on the cooktop surface
• Visible damage or breaks in the coil wire
• Unusual smells or burning odors emanating from the burner area

Causes of a bad coil burner element can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

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

The bake element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ovens. This element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for providing the heat needed for baking. When the oven is turned on, electrical current flows through the bake element, causing it to heat up and glow red. This process radiates heat evenly throughout the oven, ensuring that food is cooked thoroughly and uniformly. 

Causes of a bad Oven Bake Element include visible damage such as blistering or holes, which can occur after years of use or from food spillages that corrode the metal. Additionally, a malfunctioning element may not glow red or may only partially heat, indicating that it's unable to conduct electricity effectively.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include: 

• The oven not heating up properly or at all
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• 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.
 

This broil element mounts at the top of the oven cavity and provides high, radiant heat for broiling and top-browning. Replace it if the broiler won't heat, heats unevenly, or the element shows visible damage.

• Delivers intense, top-down radiant heat for broiling and finishing dishes
• Restores broil performance when the original element is open, shorted, or weak
• Common symptoms: no broil heat, only part of the element glows, uneven browning, visible blisters/cracks, tripping the breaker
• Direct replacement designed to fit and connect to existing terminals

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing; high-voltage hazard
• Remove oven racks; take out element mounting screws and carefully pull the element forward to access terminals
• Transfer wires one at a time and support them to prevent retracting into the insulation; ensure tight, clean connections
• Reinstall screws, restore power, and test broil for an even, consistent glow
