Frigidaire Range PLEF489CCH Element will not heat

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

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

NOTE: Must order (2) new mounting screws, part# 5303288565 (5303323134) when ordering this switch due to a change.

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.

This replacement switch restores reliable on/off control of a specific function in your cooking appliance. When the original switch wears out, components may fail to power on, stay on, or work only intermittently. What it does:

• Opens and closes an electrical circuit to control a targeted component
• Used in select models to switch features such as a light, fan, or heating element
• Symptoms of a failed switch include no response, intermittent operation, or a component that won't turn off
• Visible heat damage, arcing, or loose terminals at the switch may also indicate failure

• 1 switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing; verify no voltage is present
• Note wire locations or take a photo; transfer wires to the new switch one at a time
• Reuse existing mounting hardware or brackets as applicable
• Restore power and test the controlled function before final reassembly

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.
