The Switch is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens. This component is responsible for controlling the flow of electricity to various functions of the oven, such as the bake and broil elements, ensuring the oven operates correctly according to the selected settings.

Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical surges, or physical damage from impact or exposure to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad switch include:

• The oven not turning on or responding to control inputs
• Inconsistent heating or temperature control issues
• Certain oven functions not working, such as the bake or broil elements
• The switch feeling loose or sticking when turned

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

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.

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 Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges, designed to provide reliable and efficient heat for baking and broiling. This heating element converts electrical energy into heat, which is then distributed evenly throughout the oven cavity, ensuring that your food is cooked thoroughly and consistently. 

Causes of a bad Element can stem from normal wear and tear, excessive use at high temperatures, or a sudden electrical surge that can damage the internal components of the element. 

Symptoms of a bad Element include:

• Uneven or insufficient heating, leading to undercooked food
• The oven taking longer than usual to preheat
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks
• The element not glowing red when the oven is turned on, indicating it's not heating
