Andrea April 14, 2013 for Model Number LGEF3043KFG I am getting no error codes. The oven failed to heat up much but didn't get off of the preheat mode. The broiler works. The oven, today, wouldn't even begin to heat. Any ideas?
1 Answer Hello Andrea, This sounds like the bake element has failed. You should use a multi-meter to test the element to avoid replacing a good element that will not correct the issue. Read More...
Cj February 21, 2013 for Model Number 709.71372702 I am having my gas oven overheat. I set it at 350 and it is off the chart on my thermometer. I turned the oven to 350, I unplugged the power, the temp stayed the same and did not go up. Is it the Probe?
1 Answer Hello CJ. Test the probe. It should read around 1100 ohms at room temp and 1650 ohms at 350°. 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...
Doug September 04, 2012 for Model Number Frigidaire FEFL79DSL Frigidaire/range I did a power disconnect for 10 minutes, that seemed to fix the problem (See your previous answer below, my trouble is identical). However, the next day it did exactly the same thing. I do not know how to do your 'ohm test'. What do you think needs replacing? "Hello Tom, While the sensor is the most obvious part, I wouldn't replace it without testing it first. It should read about 1100 ohms at 70°F. If it reads more than 100 ohms difference (above or below), I would replace it. The thing they didn't mention on the phone is that the main control has to interpret the information sent to it by the sensor. First thing I would do is turn off the power to the unit for at least 10 minutes. If the microprocessor on the board isn't damaged, the discontinuation of power for 10 minutes will reset the microprocessor to factory default. Since the sensor AP3963654 is an electrical component that is exposed to a great deal of heat, it might not be a bad idea to replace it first anyway. If this doesn't correct the problem, the next thing to do is trace the wiring to the sensor from the control board to insure no poor connections or wiring damage is present. If no problem is found there, the control AP4340707 replacement is the option that will correct the issue."
1 Answer Hello Doug, In order to perform this test, you need a resistance meter TJMA-DMT3. You will have to either remove the sensor from the bake compartment, or you can open the control panel and test the sensor from the point where it connects to the control. You put one lead on one of the connections to the sensor and the other to the other wire to the sensor. At 70°F, the sensor should read about 1100O on the RX1 scale, (or if you are on the RX100 scale it will read 1.1KO). If the reading is more than 10% off from this reading, the sensor will require replacement.

Craig R. June 18, 2012 for Model Number Frigidaire Oven Model No Model: FFEF3050LS I have an f-30 error code, can you please tell me what I need to replace. Thank you for your assistance
1 Answer Hello Craig, An F-30 is a failed temperature sensor 316490000 or a bad connection between the control and the sensor. If you want to ohm it out, It's best to do it from the control first. This way you are checking the harness at the same time. It should test around 1100 ohms at room temperature, (72°F). If you don't get this reading, you should access the sensor connector behind the bake compartment and check it from there. Read More...
1 Answer Hello Phil. Open the oven door and remove the racks from the unit. Then remove the screw securing the probe 316490000 in the oven. Pull the probe out and unplug the wires going to the probe. On some models, the temperature probe screw is accessed by removing the back panel on the unit and removing the probe through the back. Look inside the unit and see if you see the screw inside the oven. If not, will need to be accessed from the back. Make sure the power is disconnected from the unit. Read More...
Tom April 05, 2012 for Model Number FGFLZ87GCA My oven never gets up to temperature. If I set it to 400°F even after the indicator beeps telling me it has reached 400°F, the oven thermometer I purchased is only reading 250°F. After 20 minutes on 400°F it will eventually reach 300°F. I spoke with someone on the phone and they thought I may need part # AP3963654 : it's a sensor. Do you think this is the part I need to solve my problem. I was told it is in stock. I didn't think to ask the price. Thank you, Tom

1 Answer Hello Mud. The f10 code is a bad temperature sensor 316490000. It should read 1100 ohms at room temperature and 1650 ohms at 350°. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.
