Josef April 23, 2023 for Model Number 790.96009601 My girlfriend has a Kenmore stove model 790.96009601. All 4 burners can come on by themselves and have poor heat control. I was thinking each one needs a small element switch? The small back right burner comes on often by itself even though the all say off.
1 Answer Josef, Based on the information provided, the poor heat control would be the infinite switches, I would suggest checking the wiring also for any shortages. Read More...
Arlene October 27, 2021 for Model Number 79094053310 Do I need small or large. Large burner staying hot.
1 Answer Arlene, the left rear and the right front large elements would use the surface element switch 316436001. Read More...
Miles February 04, 2021 for Model Number sears Kenmore Range 790.9611 Part No 316021500 I need to know which color wires go to which clips. The new part is slightly different in configuration from the old part.
1 Answer Miles, the terminals may be reconfigured, but the wires still attach to the same terminals as on the original switch. Terminal L1 will have the Black wire(common to all the switches) attached to it. Terminal L2 will have the Red wire(common to all the switches) attached to it. The H1 terminal will have an orange wire going to the element attached to it. The H2 terminal will have the other orange wire to the element attached to it, and the P terminal will have the purple wire to the indicator light attached to it. Thanks, Read More...
Jeffrey March 29, 2020 for Model Number FEF355CFSD I was cleaning oven, did not unplug, pulled lower heating element out, saw sparks. Now the stove top and the oven will not heat up. The appliance is still getting power, the clock works. And help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Jeff
1 Answer Jeffrey, as the bake and broil elements are directly connected to the L2 side of wiring, the spark could have caused the breaker to trip while the L1 side could still be providing voltage. The terminal block can be tested from L1 to L2 (red and black wires) for 240VAC. If there is not 240VAC, then there is a voltage supply issue. Read More...
Bob September 24, 2017 for Model Number lgef3033kbd my heating element at the top is not getting real hot also i see a red hot spot on one side of the element.also the oven is not heating up either.
1 Answer Bob, You're dealing with two different issues. The " ot getting real hot also i see a red hot spot on one side of the element " would indicate a damaged or cracked element heater ribbon, and you'll need to replace the element 318178110 ? The lack of heat in the oven could be due to a damaged, broken element, damaged or broken wire to the element, or a faulty relay on the ERC/Clock 5304510064 but you'll want to check the wiring and elements first.

Donna February 29, 2016 for Model Number MEF357BEDA Hot surface light stays on all the time. What are causes and what part would i need?
1 Answer Hello Donna. You will need to test the temp sensors on the elements. If they are good, then you have a bad switch on the unit. 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...
Mike N February 06, 2016 for Model Number GLEF369DSJ This Frigidaire electric range is about 9 years old. There are 3 single cooking surfaces and 1 dual-size surface. All three of the single surfaces will heat up and shut off almost immediately. If I raise the temperature, the unit stays on for a second or two longer. If I turn the knob to High, they will stay on properly. My dual element seems to work better but not perfect. Do you think the oven control board is the issue or could all three/four switches have gone at once? Thanks for any help
1 Answer Mike, The unit is elements are designed for cycling on and off. When the element is cycled on it will heat to a certain temp and then cycle off. This happens because there is a temp probe. On high they will stay on. Read More...
Ernest January 28, 2016 for Model Number GLEF379DSG Not sure what part I need. On the left front burner the outer large burner works, but the inner smaller burner does not. Any idea what part I need. Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ernest. Test for power to the inner part. If there, replace the element. If not there, replace the switch. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3.

Steve January 17, 2016 for Model Number kenmore 790.9611.9409 Ordered Element Switch, Part Number: AP3890378. I don't see a video for how to remove old one and install new one. Can you advise what it entails please? Thanks.
1 Answer Steve, To replace the infinite switch you will need to pull the unit out and unplug it from the wall. Once unplugged remove the back cover over the control panel. This will give access to the switches. Remove the burner knob and take out 2 screws that are under the knob. Go around to the back of the unit and disconnect each wire one at a time unless it has a gang plug and plug onto the new switch. Once you have the new switch wired up reattach to the panel and reassemble the unit. Read More...
Steve January 15, 2016 for Model Number Kenmore 790.7611.9409 All burners work. The light above the knob on the far left side has a faint glow when off. None of the 4 lights illuminate. Replaced the control panel. Did not fix issue. Chat session with a tech at Appl Parts Pro advised checking continuity for all 4. Standing in front of the range, the light on the far left of the left side is the issue. On the right side of the range are 2 knobs. The switch on the inside (left side) of those 2 showed no continuity. Tech advised replacing that switch (AP3890378). Will this work? Thanks.
1 Answer Hello Steve. Yes, based on the information you provided, you will need to replace the switch in the unit. Read More...
