Frigidaire Range GLEFM397DQA Element will not heat

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens, designed to provide the primary source of heat for baking. Positioned at the bottom of the oven cavity, this element heats up when electricity flows through it, radiating heat evenly throughout the oven. This consistent distribution of heat is essential for achieving perfectly baked foods, from golden-brown pastries to thoroughly cooked meats.

The most common cause for bake element issues is wear and tear from regular use. Over time, the element can become inefficient due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, or it can physically break or burn out. Additionally, accidental damage can occur during oven cleaning or when moving pans in and out of the oven.

Symptoms of a failing Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating up to the desired temperature, or taking an unusually long time to do so
• Uneven baking results, with some areas of food undercooked or overcooked
• No visible glow from the bake element when the oven is turned on, indicating it isn't heating
• Physical signs of wear or damage on the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks

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

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens. This element provides the intense heat necessary for broiling, ensuring that food is cooked evenly and thoroughly from above. It's essential for tasks such as broiling meats, melting cheese, and toasting bread. The element measures 15 3/8 inches from the front to the mounting bracket. It measures 12-1/4 inches wide, and 3 1/4 inches from the bracket to the terminal end. The mounting holes are 11-1/2 inches apart.

You should replace the broil element if it becomes faulty or damaged. Causes of a bad broil element can include regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical issues that prevent it from heating up properly.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• The broil element not heating up
• Uneven heating during the broiling process
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• Sparking or unusual noises when the broil function is used

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