The Coil Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and cooktops. It is a key component for cooking, providing the heat source directly under pots and pans. This 8 inch element is designed to heat quickly and maintain consistent temperature, which is essential for effective cooking and energy efficiency.

Symptoms of a bad Coil Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up when turned on
• Uneven heating or hot spots that can cause inconsistent cooking results
• The element not turning off or fluctuating in temperature

Causes of a bad coil surface element can include a breakdown of the coil itself due to general wear and tear, electrical connections becoming loose or corroded, or damage from spills or impacts during cooking.

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

The Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to various functions of the oven, such as the bake and broil elements, ensuring the oven operates correctly according to the selected settings.

Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical surges, or physical damage from impact or exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad switch include:

• The oven not turning on or responding to control inputs
• Inconsistent heating or temperature control issues
• Certain oven functions not working, such as the bake or broil elements
• The switch feeling loose or sticking when turned

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

The Surface Burner Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This switch is responsible for controlling the heat output of the surface burners on your range. By adjusting the infinite switch, you can set the burner to different heat levels, allowing for precise cooking control.

Common causes of a bad infinite switch include electrical failures, internal component wear, or physical damage to the switch mechanism.

Symptoms of a bad surface burner infinite switch include:

• Burner not heating up
• Burner only working at one heat level
• Burner not turning off
• Inconsistent or fluctuating heat levels

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.

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. It is specifically designed to provide the high heat necessary for broiling food, such as meats and vegetables. Located at the top of the oven interior, the broil element radiates heat downwards, creating a high-temperature environment ideal for browning and caramelizing the exterior of dishes while locking in juices. 

Over time, the broil element can burn out or become damaged due to high temperatures and frequent use. 

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• Lack of heat when broiling
• Uneven cooking or browning of food
• Visible damage or breaks in the element
• No visible glow from the element during operation

This genuine Frigidaire OEM replacement part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore gas ranges.

The Large Chrome Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire cooktops, designed to fit beneath the burner elements. It is responsible for providing a clean surface and maintain cleanliness. The drip pan catches spills and drips that occur during cooking, preventing them from reaching the interior of the stove where they can become burnt-on and difficult to clean. This large chrome drip pan measures approximately 8 inches in diameter.

Causes of a bad drip pan can include frequent exposure to high heat, spills, and regular cleaning, which can lead to discoloration, warping, or rust over time. When the drip pan becomes damaged or worn out, it may no longer effectively catch spills or reflect heat, affecting both cleanliness and cooking performance.

Symptoms of a bad part include:

• Visible signs of damage, wear, rust, or corrosion on the drip pan 
• Uneven stove element
• Difficulty cleaning spills and grease accumulating on the pan
• Unsightly appearance of the stove
• Difficulty cleaning the stove surface

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

The Oven Temperature Probe is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens. This part monitors the oven's internal temperature, ensuring that it accurately reflects the set temperature on the oven's control. By measuring the heat inside the oven, the temperature probe helps in maintaining consistent cooking results, preventing undercooking or overcooking of food.  

Over time, the oven temperature probe can fail or become inaccurate due to wear and tear, exposure to extreme temperatures, or damage from cleaning and handling. This can lead to uneven cooking results, with food being overcooked or undercooked, despite setting the oven to the correct temperature.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Probe include:

• Oven not reaching the set temperature
• Oven temperature fluctuating more than usual
• Food not cooking evenly or within expected time frames
• Error codes displayed on the oven indicating a temperature sensor issue

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

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM part for Frigidaire appliances, typically used for connecting house power to various electrical appliances like ranges and dryers. This kit includes includes screws, nuts, and a unique terminal block. It plays a critical role in the power supply system by providing a reliable connection point for the appliance's main power cord, preventing loose connections and potential electrical hazards.

Symptoms of a bad Terminal Block Kit include:

• Signs of burning or melting at the connection points,
• Flickering power or intermittent operation of the appliance,
• A burning smell from the appliance area.

Causes of terminal block failure often involve loose connections that can lead to arcing and overheating, improper installation, or general wear and tear that degrades the integrity of the electrical contacts.

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