The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking or broiling. The element converts electrical energy into heat through resistance; this heat is then distributed throughout the oven cavity to cook or bake food evenly. 

Common causes of a bad Heating Element can include visible signs of damage like blistering, bulging, or breakage. A burnout may occur when the element overheats and fails, leading to no heat production. Additionally, electrical issues like a blown fuse or faulty wiring can prevent the element from receiving power.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element include:

  • The oven does not heat up
  • Uneven cooking or baking
  • Longer cooking times than usual
  • The element not glowing when the oven is turned on

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.

Roy, you will want to first test the voltage at the power block at the back of the range for 240VAC. From there, if you turn on the bake setting, you should receive 240VAC when touching the multimeter probes on both of the element terminals. If you are not receiving 240VAC, then you have either a bad wire or a bad control which the wire can be tested for continuity.

lowell, If the lower shelf is on the very bottom just above the element then it would cause burning and would want to raise the rack to at least the second place from the bottom. If this is still causing an issue then check the oven sensor to make sure that it is good.

David, Unfortunately the model number would be needed because the size does make a difference but the wattage of the part is more important and would need to have the model to determine the correct part.
