John Y January 05, 2026 for Model Number PLEF398CCB Hi, I have a Friggie PLEF398CCB and the inner of the r/side dual burner stopped working. I replacement burner assembly (316555800) and it is still not firing up on the smaller element setting only the outer large. My son borrowed my multi meter and I has not returned it so on to plan (B). I swapped out from left to right the burner display boards and the control switches. When I turned it on it fired up the large burner in/out. When I tried the smaller inner burner no good and on the larger setting only the outer ring works? The switch moved from right to left functions as designed on the other side. Do you think I have a board issue? I replaced the control board years ago along and also the left burner assembly that failed with time. What should my next move be . Thanks in advance, John Y.
1 Answer John Y, thanks for the question. Ensure the switch and unit are wired correctly, and there is no loose, damaged, or burned wiring. Then use a multimeter to determine if you are receiving the correct voltage from the control to the element. Read More...
Richard P January 16, 2025 for Model Number FFEF3043LSK Being left handed would it be possible to reverse the front elements and put the expandable element on the left and the single element on the right? I understand I would have to also reverse the switches. Is the wiring able to just be reversed as well?
1 Answer Richard, Unfortunately, the way the glass top is set up, there would be no way to change it. Read More...
Rich April 16, 2024 for Model Number 79094173310 The front right dual burner will heat but is not adjustable. It is either on at maximum capacity or not at all...trying to reduce heat via temperature control knob has no impact. There is no way to reduce heat once it is turned on. Will simply replacing the dual burner resolve the problem?
1 Answer Rich, if there is not a grounded wire, the failure would be in the infinite switch 316238201. Read More...
Deborah January 13, 2024 for Model Number FEFL77ASB I followed all the instructions on several videos to replace my dual burner. All went well until I replaced the wires and saw that there was one fewer wiring terminal on the replacement than on the original. Apparently Frigidaire changed the design. So I did the best I could. I had taken pictures of the original wiring. But nothing came on. So I clearing had something miswired. How do I know where the are supposed ton go now? Also there was a small grounding wire that jumped from one small terminal to the other that it looks like there is no longer a need for. I hope this is true.
1 Answer Deborah, the jumper wire would no longer be used as the new element has a built-in jumper bracket. The brown wire that was on the original element's ceramic block will go to the L-shaped terminal. The brown wire on the original element coil terminal will go to the middle coil terminal on the new element. The purple wire will go to the outermost terminal on the element coil. The last two wires will have smaller terminals and can plug into the smaller terminals on the opposite side of the ceramic block. Specific orientation would not be necessary. Read More...
Robert November 27, 2023 for Model Number FEF379ACD Is this dual element compatible to Frigidaire part number 316098202
1 Answer Robert, That is a warming element, it is only a 100 watt element. The dual for your model is 316555800 Read More...
Scott March 19, 2023 the inside burner will not turn on but when I turn switch to the large burner setting the outside burner will. At this time only the outside burner is getting hot. The inside burner never comes on.
1 Answer Scott, Based on the information provided you will need to check for power to the inside part of the element using a multimeter and the wiring diagram ( from the tech sheet packaged with your range). If there is power to the element then the element will need to be replaced, If there is no power to the inner element then the switch would likely need to be replaced Read More...
Kon February 10, 2023 for Model Number FEFL64FSD my frigidaire right front dual burner small element burnt out. I looked for parts and found part AP4556791. when I went to replace it, I found out that one of the wire connectors was too small. this was the connector to the 1b terminal on the old burner. the new burner is labeled (clockwise from top left) 2, S, H, P1. How do I know which wire goes to which terminal? I connect the wires to the new burner similar to how they were on the old burner but the new burner won't come on at all and the hot surface indicator light stays on. Kon Model number FEFL64FSD Serial number VF70238604
1 Answer Kon, the small terminal black wire would go to terminal 1b and the dual grey wire would go to terminal 2b. The brown wire that would have originally been on the ceramic square would go to terminal 2a on the new element. The next brown wire would go to the terminal near the ceramic block while the tan wire will go to the terminal farthest from the ceramic block. Read More...
Nancy March 14, 2022 for Model Number GLEF396AQA The dual element would not shut off, purchased a new switch, but that was not the issue. Bought a new element, and the wire connectors did not match up like the old one. Matched the spades to the connectors. The large element heated up fast but the small element got warm but did not get as hot as it should have. Not sure what else to do.
1 Answer Nancy, it would be recommended that the wires are checked to ensure they are on the terminals necessary. The large connector black wire will go to terminal 2a, the large connector brown wire will go to the second from the farthest out terminal, the purple wire to the farthest out terminal, the small connector black wire to terminal 1b, and the small connector brown wire to terminal 2b. If these check good, the surface control 316239403KITK would need to be tested for 240VAC when the element is turned on to just the inner burner operating. There should be 240VAC from the black wire on the power cord terminal block to the brown wire on its own separate terminal of the control. If there is not a full 240VAC, the control has failed. Unfortunately, the surface burner control has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Gerry January 14, 2022 for Model Number GLEF384GBA I replaced the left front dual element (Part #316555800) on my Frigidaire range. When I turn on small element (inner), the large (outer) element has a red glow around the outer edge. I tried very carefully to match up the wires from the old element with the new. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Gerry, if you turn on just the inner element and the outer element comes on instead then the wires to the element's inner and outer elements are reversed. Read More...
Heather M. December 10, 2021 for Model Number Kenmore 790.42532316 The inner ring of my left front dual burner stopped working, but the the outer larger ring works. Should I just replace the element, or could it be something else?
1 Answer Heather, Thanks for the question!!! It would most likely be the burner. There is a small chance it is the switch 318191023. Read More...
