Frigidaire Range FED387CFBF Element will not heat

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
