How to Troubleshoot & Replace Frigidaire AP3693959 / 316207527 Oven Control Board

The repair was simple. Remove the upper back over plate, remove four screws, unplug the old module, plug in the new module, put it all back together. Two gotchas: on our stove, the module is held in by four screws that require square key bits to remove (like Allen keys, but square), and the front cover that has the legends and the like on it is stuck to the front of the module and impossible to remove intact. When you buy a new module, go ahead and buy the cover, as well. We'll have to pull it all apart again to replace the one we tried to move over. 

Ordered a new control board from Appliancepartspros.com. I ordered the part online at 3pm on Monday & it was shipped to my door by 5:15pm Tuesday. Very fast shipping & the part was exactly what I needed. 

Had to replace entire part. I had used temporary fixes in the past, but the part failed completely over the weekend. Ordered part on Monday, recieved it on Tuesday! Removed 6 screws from the rear panel of the range. Replaced part one wire at a time. They are color coded and just slip into place. Screwed new part into position(4) screws. Tested that it was working and replaced panel. Easy as that!!! 

Unplugged stove. Removed rear top panel 6 screws. Removed 3 separate colored wires and broke off plastic snap lock to remove one small wiring harness. Removed 4 screws from malfunctioned oven control unit. Removed control unit from stove. Removed front digital plastic plate display from old control unit and placed on new control unit. Placed everything in reverse order. 15 minute job. 

Replaced the oven control board 

Installed new module, and everything is working fine. 

I ordered a new control panel and overlay. On our model, the overlay is stuck on with adhesive so a new one was required. 

We called a serviceman who said we needed a new oven control board (OCB) and that all told it would be $370 installed. Found online manual, part # and your website. The installation video was amazingly straightforward so I ordered the part and performed the install myself. Stove works great, and, at $177 I saved almost $200! Too bad I hadn't done a little more research online b/c I eventually found that our situation was a classic OCB replacement and I could have avoided the $68 service call. Still saved $130, though, and am confident I would try another repair in the future. Combining the videos with the part sales is a brilliant idea - keep up the great work! I have bookmarked your site and have told others. Our 12 year old stove has a new life! 

I contacted Appliancepartspros.com. I ordered new parts to repair the electric range. Today the range is working like new again. Thanks to the people at APP for there help in what i needed. If you need parts this is the place to go! 

Everything went great with the install!
