Replace this element if the burner no longer heats, heats unevenly, only partially lights up, or if you see visible damage such as cracks or burn spots in the coil.

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Range Radiant Surface Element - Dual (Part Number: OEM16970640)

1 Answer

Tony, There would not be any instructions for doing this repair. To access the top you will remove the control panel by removing the lower cover. You will then have some screws holding the control panel in place. Once this is done there will be screws around the perimeter of the top then lift the top off.

Hello Gary, the left front element for your model is part# 316555800 and it is a dual element. The 6" and 9" reference is just the approximate diameter of the heating area on the dual element. Hope this helps!

Hello Thomas. Here are the instructions from the manufacture. Hope this helps. To gain access to the various component parts of the cooktop assembly it must be uninstalled from the cabinet and counter top. Depending on the location of the power supply junction box it may also be necessary to disconnect the cooktop power flex cable from the junction box. Remove the screws securing the cooktop to the mounting brackets and lift the cooktop assembly out of the cut out in the counter. Place the cooktop assembly on a stable protected work surface. Use wooden blocks or other suitable material as spacers to support the cooktop assembly from below and avoid pressure on the power cable strain relief. Removing Cooktop Glass Begin disassembly by removing the side heat shields found on each side of the cooktop chassis. These shields must be replaced prior to reinstalling the unit into the cabinet. Note that the 90 degree flange on the shield goes up next to the cooktop glass. Next remove the switch knobs. Next remove the five screws indicated by the arrows in the photo and remove the vent deflector at the front edge of the cooktop. Remove the remaining screws that secure the cooktop glass and frame to the burner box. Lift the rear edge of the cooktop glass and tilt it toward you to access the touch control harness plug. Disconnect the plug from the control edge connector. The control will remain secured to the cooktop glass. Carefully lift the cooktop glass and frame away from the assembly. NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the screws that secure the plastic spacers found on the left and right hand sides of the cooktop. With the glass top and frame removed the induction coils and insulation pad are accessible for service. Use care when handling the induction coils and insulation panel to prevent damage. The cooking zone control boards and main control board are secured to the cooktop glass by a metal cover plate. To access the controls remove the nuts that secure the plate to the cooktop glass. The control board for the Left Front and Left Rear cook zones is identical to the Center and Right Rear cook zone control board. The control board for the Right Front cook zone includes the main power control and minute timer. Each wire harness connecting the three control boards is replaced as a separate component. After removing the metal cover plate lift off the nylon spacers found on the threaded studs. Gently lift the control boards off the studs and away from the glass assembly. The individual control boards and wire harnesses can now be serviced or replaced.
