Parts for Frigidaire PLEF489CCH: 07 - Maintop Parts

The Element is an OEM component specifically designed for Frigidaire brand electric ranges. Located beneath the cooktop surface, these resistive elements generate heat for cooking.

Prolonged use causes elements to warp, crack, or lose continuity over time due to normal heating/cooling cycles. Element failure limits cooktop functionality.

Causes of a faulty element relate to typical wear expected of high-temperature filament windings. Accidental damage during cleaning can also impact integrity.

Symptoms of a bad element involve:

• One or more cooktop zones not heating properly or at all  
• Burned residue indicating heating dysfunction
• Visible cracks or separations in the resistive coils

Replacing with this OEM Frigidaire assembly restores reliable and consistent zoned heating. Compatibility extends to some Kenmore, Gibson, and Electrolux ranges.

This replacement bake element heats the lower oven cavity so your range can bake and roast food at set temperatures. Restores normal baking performance when the oven isn't heating properly. What it does:

• Heats the oven's lower cavity to reach and maintain baking temperatures
• Replaces a burned-out, warped, or visibly damaged element
• Helps correct symptoms like no heat or uneven baking results
• Works with the oven control to provide consistent interior temperatures

• Disconnect power to the appliance before any service to avoid shock
• Handle element carefully; sharp edges and fragile terminals can be damaged
• Verify proper terminal connection and secure mounting during installation

This 100W radiant element replaces a failed warming element to restore gentle, even heat in the appliance's warmer/drawer. It delivers low-profile radiant heat for keeping food warm between cooking and serving. What it does:

• Radiates low-level heat to maintain food temperature in the warmer or drawer
• Replaces a broken or non-heating warmer element
• Common symptom: warmer drawer not holding temperature or not heating
• Works as the heating element that sits under the warming surface to provide consistent warmth

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting service
• Inspect mounting and wiring; replace any damaged connectors or mounting hardware as needed
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the heating surface

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Indicator light replaces the control-panel lamp that signals power or active functions, restoring visible status feedback for safer, more confident operation. Use this when the original lamp is dim, cracked, or fails to illuminate. What it does:

• Provides visible indication of power, cycle status, or selected functions on the appliance control panel.
• Restores clear status feedback when the original lamp is burned out or flickering.
• Helps troubleshoot whether a control or circuit is receiving power by showing when the indicator should be lit.
• Improves usability so settings and operating states are easy to confirm at a glance.

• Disconnect power to the appliance (unplug or turn off the breaker) before beginning work.
• Access may require removing the control panel or console.
• Handle the lamp carefully and avoid touching bulb surfaces; use gloves to prevent oil transfer.
• After installation, restore power and verify the indicator lights as expected; if it still does not light, further electrical diagnosis may be needed.

This element mounting spring secures a surface cooktop heating element to the range, keeping the element stable and ensuring consistent electrical contact for reliable heating. Replaces a worn or missing spring to restore proper element fit. What it does

• Holds the surface heating element in place under the cooktop or in the drip pan.
• Maintains stable mechanical and electrical contact so the element heats evenly.
• Prevents element wobble, movement, or poor seating that can cause intermittent heating.
• Commonly needed when an element drops, rattles, or fails to make solid contact.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair.
• Remove the element and/or drip pan per the range service instructions to access the spring.
• Install the spring in the same orientation as the original; ensure the element seats fully and securely.

This is a #8 screw, 0.500 inch long, used to secure panels and components in appliances. It provides a correct-fit fastener for repairs where the original #8 x 1/2" screw was required, restoring proper assembly and stability. What it does:

• Fastens trim, panels, brackets and small components where a #8 x 1/2" screw is specified
• Holds parts securely to prevent rattling, gaps or loose panels
• Replaces worn, stripped or missing screws to restore proper fit
• Appropriate for common interior and exterior appliance mounting points

• Use the correct screwdriver (typically Phillips) and avoid over-tightening to prevent strip or damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance manufacturer safety instructions when accessing internal parts
