The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking or broiling. The element converts electrical energy into heat through resistance; this heat is then distributed throughout the oven cavity to cook or bake food evenly.
Common causes of a bad Heating Element can include visible signs of damage like blistering, bulging, or breakage. A burnout may occur when the element overheats and fails, leading to no heat production. Additionally, electrical issues like a blown fuse or faulty wiring can prevent the element from receiving power.
Symptoms of a bad Heating Element include:
- The oven does not heat up
- Uneven cooking or baking
- Longer cooking times than usual
- 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 part fixes the following symptoms
-
Little to no heat when baking
-
Oven not heating evenly
-
Won't start
