The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

  • The element not heating up at all
  • Heating unevenly or only partially
  • Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
  • The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire 6" Element (Part Number: OEM11880933)

Tanya for Model Number FES365ECE

I’m having an unusual problem. My front left burner stopped working yesterday. I thought I needed to replace the burner (part 15B or 318178110). But today I noticed that it still turns on, but only if the burner behind it is on as well (part 15A). I checked it with the other burners too, and it only works when the rear left on. This is a new issue that only started yesterday, but since the burner still works if the one behind it is on, then I have to assume the burner itself isn’t the problem, but some other part. Any thoughts?

Tanya, Check the wiring of the unit to make sure that there are no damaged wires and if they are good then this will be a faulty switch.

Joe, Test the infinite switches to make sure that they have 240 vac coming in on the L1 to L2 terminals and then test to make sure that when they are turned on there is 240 vac out on the H1 and H2 terminals.

Ron for Model Number FFEF3018LBG

I need the small six-inch burner. The part number on the burner is 318178110. I ordered a burner off-line several weeks ago and it was the right part number, looks just like the one that is bad. When I removed the old one and looked at the new, I noticed the spade wire plug on the new burner where two different sizes. I need the same part number with the spade wire plugs the same size (smaller) for all four wires. I cannot tell from the photos you have of the three different types of burners for my stove if either have the same size spade ends, items number 15. Any help will be appreciated.

Hello Ron, the manufacturer has subbed the original burner to this new design, it is unlikely you find the old design burner anywhere, the reason for the different size terminals (1/4" and 3/16" terminals) was to prevent miswires of the power and hot surface light circuits on the burner, the burner's wire harness will need to be updated, replacement terminals are available locally in hardware stores.

Tom for Model Number FEF369CGSB

I have a Frigidaire FEF369CGSB range that is exhibiting some really odd behavior with the cooktop burners. 1.) The left-rear and right-front elements always work. 2.) The "Expandable Element" center segment will not heat, ever. The outer portion will, however, if it is switched on. 3.) The right-rear element will only work if one of the other three elements is also switched on. Maybe this isn't unusual, but it's definitely a new one for me, and I'm wondering how much all of this is related, or if I have multiple issues. I filmed a short video showing the behavior: https://youtu.be/a70kyPB2X_k

Tom, Using the tech sheet and a multimeter check the wiring is correct to the switches and check the large element for an open inner coil.

Steven, The burner part number is 318178110 and the switch is 903136-9010. There is only 2 possibilities so if you replaced your switch without change then replace the burner and vice versa.

Darrell, Because the part does not actually go to the unit the compatibility tool will say it is not compatible. While they will most likely wire up the same as the original you also have to look at the wattage of each of the elements to make sure that you are getting the correct or near correct wattage.

Robert, you are correct in that the terminal would need to be a high-temperature terminal. The terminal size in width will need to be 3/16 as that is what the original one is, and the gauge of the terminal can vary based on which wire is going to it. An 18-22 gauge would be the most likely size terminal needed, however, it would be best to compare the terminal or wire to a known sized terminal. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not list what gauge terminal would be on which wire.

Donna, I would access the back panel and check voltage at the terminal block, you should read 120 volts from white to black, 120 volts white to red, and 240 volts from black to red. If the voltage is correct, you may have a bad control board.

Donna, If there was a power surge when the power came back on it could have damaged a board. Try a reset by flipping the breaker off and letting sit for at least 5 minutes before applying power.
