Frigidaire Range PLEF398DCD 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 ranges and wall ovens. This part is responsible for providing intense, direct heat from the top of the oven cavity during the broiling process. This allows for efficient browning, crisping, and charring of foods.

Causes of a bad broil element can include excessive use over time leading to normal wear and tear, exposure to food spills or splatters causing premature degradation, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• Inability to achieve proper broiling temperatures
• Uneven heating or cold spots in the broiling area
• Visibly damaged, blistered, or burned-out element
• Electrical issues, such as the element not heating at all

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