Hello Michael, You can remove the element by removing 2 or 3 screws under the main top in the door opening. This will allow you to lift the main top to access the burners. To test to see if it is the element 318178110 or switch, you can pull the unit out and remove the rear cover, test with the element turned on from H1 to H2 on the switch and see if there is 240 vac. If there is then the element would most likely be the issue and if not then the switch 316436000 is faulty and would need to be replaced.

Michael for Model Number FEFL79DBL

I keep getting this part when I enter the part number, but then when I cross-reference, it says that it is not compatible with my model. Same thing when I search by model number - I get this part, but the pictures do not look the same as far as connections. We have a Frigidaire stove - model number FEFL79DBL. Serial number VF70131080. The part number on the surface element switch we are replacing is 316021501. Can you help me locate the correct part?

Robert, You most likely have a problem with the lock out relay board 316429301, you'll need to remove the rear panel and check for damage to the board and relays.

Hello Stacy, You can do a voltage check on the switch to make sure that you are getting power going to the element and make sure switch is working. With unit on you should have 240vac across h1 to h2 on the switch. If you do not have this then the switch 316436000 is bad. If you do have power then the element 318178110 would be bad.

Hello Joe, You will want to access the switches on unit. Remove the wire from terminal P on all but one switch. Reconnect power. If the indicator glows then that switch is defective and needs to be replaced. If it does not glow the switch is good. Do this for all the switches. You may want to start with the switch for the front left since this is the element you had trouble with.
