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.

Hello Kelly! Yes, the oven element 318255006 is the correct replacement and is rated at 240v, 3000w. The element is approx. 20" wide and 19" long with the terminals approx. 2" apart. This is a manufacturer replacement part and may differ in appearance but is a functional equivalent to the original. Thanks!

Hello Linda, You will need to use a pair of pliers and grasp the metal part of the spade connector. Sometimes you can actually grasp the element end with one pair of pliers and use a second pair to leverage against the other to pry them off.

Hello Nancy! The element is part number 5300210981. Unfortunately, this item has been discontinued with no further replacements or cross references available and our company is unaware of any other available sources. Sorry about that!

Hello Patricia, This sounds like you have a problem with the thermostat. The thermostat is the component that cycles the bake element on and off. Since you mentioned it is 45 years old, I'm not sure if we can pull the proper part number but in order to try, we will have to get the model number of the unit from the units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Becky, Using a small flat blade screwdriver or putty knife, push it up against the edge of the screw and try to get under the head, this will allow the blade to get ahold of the threading and help to remove it.

Hello George. Sometimes they short out and look like they exploded. Just replace the element and it should be fine.
