Questions & Answers

For Frigidaire Surface Element Control Switch (Part Number: OEM15976533)

1 Answer

Lex, If it is the on indicator light that is not coming on then the issue would be either a wiring issue or an infinite switch that would be the issue. If it is the hot surface indicator then the element would be the issue.

Hello Matt, Since these are infinite switches, the most likely difference is the wattage of the elements they control. At any rate, any two parts that have different part numbers are different parts and if they are not listed as a replacement for the other, ARE NOT interchangeable. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Katsat, the difference between the two items is which particular element they go to based on how many elements there are as well as watt draw. The dual-element switch is going to be part number 316238201 for the model provided.

Tony, the outer coil on the element 5304533520 should have had a resistance reading of 19.2 ohms when testing from the inner coil to the outer coil. If there is not resistance, the element has failed. If it measures properly, then the switch 316238201 has failed.

Jimb, We wouldn't expect the switch to fail, because it fell or dropped, but it is possible? If the switch replacement was for the right front burner element, recheck the wiring according to the wiring diagram. If the switch was for the left front element, the issue could be the simmer select board 316429301, or the incorrect switch was installed. You may need to repost your question, and include an email address so we can supply any additional information if needed.

Hello Lee, you should be able to use the switch. S2 according to the wiring diagram has a purple wire connected to it and P2 would have a black/orange wire, S1 doesn't show to have a wire connected for your unit. Thanks!
