The Range Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This switch controls the power supply to the range elements, allowing you to adjust the heat levels for cooking.

Causes of a bad Range Switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues such as short circuits or faulty wiring, or damage due to spills or overheating. These issues can result in the switch failing to regulate the power to the elements properly.

Symptoms of a bad Range Switch include:

• Inability to adjust the heat level
• The element not turning on or off
• Intermittent or inconsistent heating
• A burnt smell or visible damage on the switch

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

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.
