Frigidaire 316577073 Oven Control Board OEM Part

Replaced the main controller with the same manufacturer's part for half the cost of the retailer doing it. Easy fix. Power unplugged, replace unit wire by wire to make sure of connections. Can be done without removing the top edge cover, but if you loosen the cook top and remove the top edge cover it gives you much better access. The original repair guy from Sears said the Kenmore Elite series ranges were known to have main controller problems if the main line connections were not tight and secure which leads to burned leads and board failure. Works good now!

Found a resistor burnt up on the control board

Replaced main board and range works perfect now.

New oven control board (OCB)

The repair was pretty simple. There are two control boards on this oven though. One that is attached to back of the clock and one that is on the lower back left on the back. The lower board controls the range top, the upper controls the oven. Once the back upper panel is removed and the plastic shroud is removed the access to this part is easy. To get the shroud off you have to remove two screws holding the stove top down and slide it out an inch or two to get access to the 2 screw that hold the shroud on. There are a lot of wires that have to be unplugged but it is fairly easy to tell where each goes but if you are worried take a picture to look back at.
