Frigidaire Range FCS388WECF Won't start or doesn't start

The Top Igniter Electrode is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire gas ranges. This part provides the spark to ignite the surface burners.

Causes involve repetitive heat stresses and deterioration of internal wiring over extended use. Corrosion from possible gas or moisture intrusion may also degrade electrode performance.

Symptoms of a faulty top igniter electrode include:

• Burners failing to light or stay lit during cooking
• Potential gas leaks or explosions from unlit burners
• Difficult relighting requiring extended holds of ignition buttons

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

The Sensor Probe is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. This sensor is essential for monitoring the oven's internal temperature and communicating with the control board to maintain accurate cooking temperatures. It helps ensure that your oven heats to the desired setting and maintains consistent temperatures throughout the cooking process.

You should replace this sensor probe if it becomes faulty. Common issues that lead to a bad sensor probe include regular wear and tear, exposure to high temperatures over extended periods, or electrical failures within the sensor itself. Physical damage from accidental impacts during cleaning or maintenance can also compromise the sensor's functionality.

Symptoms of a bad sensor probe include:

• Inaccurate oven temperature readings
• Oven not reaching the set temperature
• Error codes related to temperature control
• Oven overheating or underheating

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

The Heating Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking or broiling. The element converts electrical energy into heat through resistance; this heat is then distributed throughout the oven cavity to cook or bake food evenly. 

Common causes of a bad Heating Element can include visible signs of damage like blistering, bulging, or breakage. A burnout may occur when the element overheats and fails, leading to no heat production. Additionally, electrical issues like a blown fuse or faulty wiring can prevent the element from receiving power.

Symptoms of a bad Heating Element include:

• The oven does not heat up
• Uneven cooking or baking
• Longer cooking times than usual
• The element not glowing when the oven is turned on

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
