Chrissy October 13, 2021 for Model Number PLEF398CCC Front left burner will not heat. When knob is turned to the "on" position, Indicator shows as on and the bridge components (left rear and left middle) are working fine (heating). What would be the most likely failed part?
1 Answer Chrissy, Thanks for the question!!! The burn is the most likely cause of your issue. Your model number calls for part number 316280701. Read More...
Anthony December 08, 2020 for Model Number PLEF398CCc My front left burner will not turn off, I assume it is the control element switch, is it possible to use one from another burner for example right rear as this does not work anyway. In away disabling right rear if if I disconnect right rear I get a g7 error which is a circuit fault I cant afford to buy a $107 part as I plan to buy a new range soon. I just want to get Christmas over
1 Answer Anthony, You would not want to switch the parts due to the fact of the wattage differences of the elements. Read More...
Rick November 05, 2020 for Model Number PLEF398CCC Is there a trouble shooting procedure for the dual element (infinite switch) p/n: 316239601 with correct ohm values you can provide. Frigidaire model PLEF398CCC Right front dual coil burner is the issue. Symptoms: 1. When the LARGE large burner is selected, only the outer ring gets hot and the inner, small burner doesn't give any heat. 2. When the small burner is selected, there's no heat at all. Trouble shooting I've done: (@ 20k ohms scale) 1, When checked bottom pin to center pin: the Large burner (pot turned CW), ohms values are 9.54 (high) to 5.26 (simmer) Small burner: (pot. turned CCW) values are 0.52 high to 2.64 low.
1 Answer Rick, the surface burner control 316239403KITK would need to be tested for 240VAC by placing one meter probe on the black wire of the terminal block to the terminal P7 on the control when the switch is turned on to either setting. If the voltage is not 240VAC, the control has failed. If the voltage is 240VAC, the element 316555800 has failed. The potentiometer would not be a concern as the element is turning on, it is one specific coil that is not turning on. Read More...
Michael June 12, 2020 for Model Number PLEF398CCD Small burner stopped working on the dual burner, replaced element still does not work.
1 Answer Michael, it is likely that the surface control board 316239403KITK has failed. It would be recommended that the wires are inspected for any broken or loose spots. Unfortunately, the surface control board has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Paul April 13, 2020 for Model Number 790990133102 The inner burner on the dual burner. (front right does not heat.). I replaced the burner as well as the control switch. Neither fixed the problem?
1 Answer Hello Paul, the cooktop burners are powered by the cooktop relay board, one of the output relays is faulty,(right front inner element) unfortunately the relay board 316239403KITK (316239400) is no longer available. Read More...
Joe June 26, 2018 for Model Number PLED398CCD My range has a burner that will NOT shut off. Tried everything visually that would work. Do I need to replace the control element knob thingy?
1 Answer Hello Joe, The issue will be the infinite switch if the is a 240Vac electric range. If the model number is actually PLEF398CCD, you will need either 316239600KIT, 316239601KIT for the potentiometer, (for the two different size elements), or the 316239500 board. I'm sorry but we will need to ask you to please post a new question including the verified model number from the units' I.D. tag since the one provided will not come up for us as a valid model number. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter. Read More...
Scott March 11, 2017 for Model Number PLEF398CCD Replaced duel burner switch (316239601KIT) and tested burner for continuity which was fine. Still will not heat up. WHY !!!
1 Answer Scott, With the switch being new then you will want to check the wiring between the element and the switch and if this checks ok then the element will be the issue. Read More...
John December 29, 2016 for Model Number GLEF396AQC Dual burner heats up and almost immediately shuts off all other burners and oven work correctly
1 Answer Hello John. It sounds like the switch is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. If the switch test good, then you will need to replace the element on the unit. 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...
Chuck November 30, 2016 for Model Number PLEF398ACA The right front dual element burner p/n 316418400 on my stove top stopped working. When turning the knobs for upper right and lower right burners the lights work showing the temperature but there's no heat to the lower right burner. You can hear a click when turning on the right front burner. So I replaced the right front burner.but still no heat. The main stove console works great. So what could be the problem? Model is actually a ACB. I don't know if it matters.
1 Answer Chuck, With the right elements not operating properly then this issue will most likely be caused by a faulty power control board or the wiring between the power control board and the switches on the unit. The power control board is part number 316239403KITK and the user interface board would be 316239500. The power control control will be the most likely cause. Read More...

1 Answer Charlie, This issue will either be a dual element control 316239601KIT that is faulty or the control board. Read More...
