The Dual Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire electric ranges. This component is located on the cooktop surface and features two heating coils in one unit, one measuring 6 inches in diameter and the other 9 inches. It allows for precise control of cooking temperatures, accommodating various pot and pan sizes for more efficient cooking.

Causes of a bad dual element can include prolonged use that leads to wear and tear, electrical surges that can damage the heating element, or physical damage due to impact or mishandling. Over time, these issues can result in the element failing to heat properly or not working at all.

Symptoms of a bad dual element include:

• The element not heating up or only partially heating
• Inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures
• Visible damage, such as burns or breaks in the element
• The element not responding to temperature controls

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before accessing components.
