Joe January 15, 2013 for Model Number GLE0642AS2 The drying cycles do not end. If left to run, the drying cycle runs forever. Switch does not shut dryer off.
1 Answer Hello Joe, If there is a timer on the unit then this sounds like a timer issue. Power not cutting to the motor on the timer. Read More...
Ralph January 10, 2013 for Model Number Frigidaire GLEB30T8CSA Top oven works fine but the bottom oven nothing. Works but convection fan does start up. Both circuit boards have been replaced 7 years ago and all was fine till now. Does the bottom circuit board need to be replaced again?
1 Answer Hello Ralph, You may want to check your lower oven thermal fuse for continuity. If the thermal fails the lower oven will not work. Also check for voltage at the relay board to make sure that you are getting power to the board and out of the board. If you are not getting power out of board but have power to board then you would have a bad relay board. Read More...
John L December 14, 2012 for Model Number GLEB27T8CSA Top Oven: Bake only gets to 135deg preheat, element does not get cherry red. Top Broil: element does not get cherry red. Bottom Oven: Bake gets to temperature but element does not get cherry red. Bottom Broil element gets cherry red. What do I need for the top overn?
1 Answer John, Your best approach would be to check the voltage across the elements in both the bake and broil selections in both ovens, and track the issue back from there. You'd need to be very carefull conducting these voltage tests. If the voltage is not correct, you'll need to lower the oven control panel, to access and check the oven relay boards 318022001and 318022002 as well as the wiring behind the control panel.

1 Answer Hello Mick, Since there is no runaway temperature thermal fuse on this model, the issue will be a bad relay on the clock assembly 5304518660. Read More...
Ron October 30, 2012 for Model Number pleb30t8cca The top oven takes a long time to reach temperature. I have replaced the temperature sensor and the bake element but I still have the same problem. The element does not get red hot during pre-heat. Where to go from here?
1 Answer Hello Ron, I would remove the bake wire from the upper oven relay board 318022002 and make sure there is 240Vac from the wire to the terminal. I'm guessing there won't be 240Vac since this is what it takes to turn the element orange. If you then test from ground to the wire, you should read 120Vac. You should also read 120Vac from ground to the bake terminal. It's my guess that the bake terminal will not show 120Vac. This will be caused by a bad relay on the relay board. If the other leg is the one not showing 120Vac, you will have to trace the circuit back to the element and to the terminal block. Read More...
Robert October 22, 2012 for Model Number PLEB30T8CCB Had a bad circuit board (solder joints) 6 -8 months ago that kept the bake operation of upper oven inop. Thanks to this site for repair information. New problem now, the upper oven still works fine, the lower oven broiler seems to turn on no problem, however the bake portion of lower oven does not heat up. (Note: I have replaced element). HELP!
Pete September 28, 2012 for Model Number PLEB27T8CCA double wall oven Bottom Oven works fine. Top oven works intermittently; sometimes it will work correctly other times it will not heat or only to warm both bake/broil. All elements and thermostat check out according to spec sheet. Everything on front panel works normally (temp select, light, bake/broil, clock, timer, etc). I can hear the click to turn the heating element on; but usually it only heats to warm. No fault codes shown. From other postings it appears to be the upper relay board. Is there a test using a multimeter I can do on the upper relay board (voltage, continuity, resistance, etc) to be verify that is the problem? I have a multimeter, just need to know where to touch the leads and what the results should be. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Hello Pete. You are correct, the upper relay board 318022002 is the issue. It should read 120 volts coming out to the element from the board. If not, replace the board. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
J T August 16, 2012 for Model Number PLEB30T8CCB Hi. I'm trying to repair a Frigidaire Double Oven, model PLEB30T8CCB. The baking elements for both the upper and lower ovens will not heat. When the bake function is turned on with either or both ovens, the broil element starts heating up fast but neither oven's bake elements heat at all. I've read that the broil element is suppose to do 20% of the heating task when bake pre-heat is in progress and the bake elements do the remaider of the job. Is this correct? I've measured the bake elements and they measure about 19 ohms each which I think is normal. Do these symptoms possibly indicate that both relay boards are bad or just one? Would resetting the thermal switch even help, i.e., could the thermal switch open(need resetting)because of the bake elements and the broil elements still work? I hope this makes sense. Thanks
1 Answer Hello JT. If it were the thermal switches, the broil would not work. It sounds like you need to order and replace both relay boards 318022001 318022002 on the unit. Before doing that though, look and make sure there is no wiring issue causing the issue. If the wiring is bad, the relay board may be good on the unit. Read More...
Randy Q August 11, 2012 for Model Number GLEB27T8ABA To start first, GREAT SITE, always good information. When I started the only thing that worked was the top bake, after recomendation from you guys I purchased and installed the lower board, now all work except the top broiler, I tested the broiler an it showed ok, then I swapped top an bottom an the top failed to heat. With the broil on, the voltage accross the element plug is very low, about 1+/-, but when I test from broiler plug to ground voltage is about 34 volts. Thanks for any help, again.
1 Answer Hello Randy. It sounds like the relay board for the upper oven is bad as well in the unit. Read More...
Randy Q August 02, 2012 for Model Number GLEB27T8ABA This is a follow up to my first question/answer -I am looking at a friends oven for her. I tested it, the top bake works fine and to correct temp. The top an bottom broil an bottom bake do not heat up at all. I tested all of the elements an they show 17-20 ohms. I turned the upper broil on and checked voltage output on lower relay board, this is my results, on left side, L2=14.4 CV=96.1 L2=14.4 DRLK=11.4 RIGHT SIDE BR=+/-1 L2=176 BA=+/-1 Do these results mean the lower board is bad? Thank You
1 Answer Hello Randy. Yes, based on the test it sounds like the lower board is bad in the unit. Read More...
