Holly May 14, 2012 for Model Number 790.9621340B The front left burner on the stove is not heating. Testing it with an Ohm meter shows that it is still getting some current through it (though not as much as the other elements), but it is not 'spiking' when the element is turned on. All the wires appear to be in good condition. Could this be a problem with the element or could it be an element switch?
1 Answer Hi Holly. Use a flash light and look down from the top of the glass top to see if any section of the dual element part # 316555800 has burnt open. It sounds like since you have some burner current that the infinite switch part # 316436001 has opened internally on the higher settings. You can use a volt/ohm meter part # MA-DM1 to assist you in your diagnostics. Power removed, you can remove the wires to the infinite switch (after marking them for reconnection). Use the ohm meter on R x 1 at the back of the switch. One meter lead on L1, and the other lead on H1. Rotate the switch slowly on low, mid, and high settings. This should give some resistance on the dial as you rotate it. If at any time (other then the switch off position), it reads 0-ohms, this means the switch is bad. Then do the same between the L2 and H2 terminals. Thank You. Read More...
Mc April 16, 2012 for Model Number GLEF369DSK Top L/H "element on" light stays on even with said element switch selected to off- (Element functions correctly).
1 Answer MC, You most likely have a "stuck" contact on the infinite switch for the burner, most likely, it's the L1 terminal to the P terminal. Was unclear which switch "L/H" so the left rear switch would be 316436000 and the left front switch would be 316436001. Thanks and Good Luck Read More...
David G. February 25, 2012 for Model Number FEFL58ESA My electric range is overheating on at least 3 elements. Replacing the elements did not cure the problem as did unplugging to reset unit. Is the a central "brain" or are the elements controlled by the switches ?
1 Answer Hi David. Did you recently experienced a electrical brown or black out ? It is unusual that 3 infinite switches at the same time will be this way. The 2nd one from the left is part # 316436000. 3rd from left is part # 5303935086. The the 4th from left is part # 316436000. Thank You. Read More...
William S. December 21, 2011 for Model Number Fefl79gba Purchased switch for burner on stove I bought. Wires were already disconnected from original part. Please help with diagram,etc
1 Answer Hello William. You will need to look in the control panel and inside the drawer area of the unit for the wiring diagram. The manufacture does not offer the one for this model, but it should be on the unit to wire the switch 316436001. Hope this helps. Read More...
Ray P. October 06, 2011 I ordered switch to replace the one I had, which was stuck on high. I inserted the new switch a wire a time. It seems to only work on high setting. No matter where I move the switch it appears to be on high, Please advise what could be the problem. My stove is a frigidare model GLEF369DQH.
1 Answer Hello Ray. You will need to check and see if any of the wires going to the element are shorted out, and if the element or the limit switch built into the element 316135401 is shorted out. If so, it can cause the unit to stay on high and not cycle properly. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Cordell D March 11, 2011 for Model Number 790.96004601 Your part #316436001 is suppose to fit our Kenmore range, but it does not look like the one I removed. How do I know which wire goes on which terminal?
1 Answer Hello Cordell. You will need to hook the wires according to the makings on your switch. Example H1 goes to H1. Hope this helps. Read More...
Guest February 25, 2011 It says this is the switch for my model, but the post footprint is not exact. How do I know which ones to connect?
