Leslie G Columbia , SC March 18, 2019 Appliance: Frigidaire Electric Range FED355ESF Defective switch elements burned out I had one element that would operate wide open when turned on the low setting. It needed the switch replaced. Since I was replacing other elements I went ahead replaced them all, adding new drip pans and wiring kits to each new element. Once I replaced everything I was still having issues with the element that had the switch replaced. After further investigation my AC voltage readings were not correct at this element. I traced the problem back to the Molex connector feeding voltage to the switch. I had three wires that were burnt inside the connector. Not having access to the male and female connectors that go inside the Molex connector, the obvious solution for me was to by pass this connection. I cut the three wires on both sides of the Molex connector and soldered them together, of course using heat shrink over each solder joint. The stove top was reassembled and is now in perfect working order. Read More... 3 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 1-2 hours Tools: Pliers, Screwdrivers
