Parts for Frigidaire MEF355CGS5: 04 - Top / Drawer Parts

This spacer positions and supports appliance panels or components to maintain correct alignment and clearance. Replacing a worn or missing spacer restores proper fit and helps eliminate rubbing and misalignment. What it does:

• Maintains correct gap and alignment between panels or parts
• Prevents metal-to-metal contact that can cause noise or wear
• Keeps moving components from binding or rubbing
• Helps stabilize panels so doors and covers operate smoothly

• Disconnect power and water before starting any repair
• Remove only the fasteners necessary to access the spacer; keep track of hardware
• Install in the original location and orientation for correct clearance
• If the spacer is cracked or deformed, replace it—do not rely on adhesives or shims

This coil-style surface heating element replaces a damaged or worn cooktop burner to restore reliable heat for stovetop cooking. Designed for direct swap-in replacement on compatible electric ranges, it returns even, predictable heating to the affected burner. What it does

• Heats cookware on the cooktop when the range surface control is turned on.
• Provides the primary heat source for simmering, boiling, and frying.
• Common symptom fixer: burner does not heat or produces intermittent/uneven heat.
• Visible damage indicators: broken coil, burnt spots, or loose connection at terminals.

• One surface heating element (coil).

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker before starting any work.
• Handle terminals carefully; ensure the element is fully cooled and use insulated tools.
• Secure connections; replace damaged clips or terminal block if present.

The Coil Burner Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire cooktops and ranges. The 6-inch coil burner element typically consists of a spiral-shaped metal resistance wire or rod that glows red-hot when electricity passes through it. This heat is then transferred to the cooktop surface, allowing it to reach the desired temperature for various cooking tasks, such as boiling, simmering, or sautéing.

Symptoms of a bad coil burner element:

• Burner not heating up properly or failing to reach the desired temperature
• Uneven heating or hot spots on the cooktop surface
• Visible damage or breaks in the coil wire
• Unusual smells or burning odors emanating from the burner area

Causes of a bad coil burner element can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

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

These chrome drip bowls sit beneath coil surface elements to catch spills and reflect heat. Sized for 8-inch and 6-inch burners, they refresh the cooktop's appearance and help elements seat correctly. What it does:

• Collects drips and splatters under coil elements and reflects heat back toward cookware
• Restores a clean look when originals are stained, pitted, or rusted
• Helps burners sit level and make solid contact with the cooktop
• Common signs to replace: heavy discoloration, rust, broken tabs, warping, lingering smoke or odor from burnt-on spills

• Two chrome drip bowls: one 8-inch and one 6-inch

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow surface units to cool completely
• Pull the coil element straight out of its receptacle, then lift out the old bowl
• Align the new bowl's notches with the cooktop opening and seat it flat
• Reinsert the element fully and ensure it rests evenly in the bowl

This clip secures the appliance's terminal block to the chassis, keeping wiring stable and preventing strain on electrical connections. It's a small, durable mounting clip used where the terminal block needs a fast, reliable hold. What it does:

• Holds the terminal block firmly to the appliance frame to reduce wire movement and wear
• Helps maintain safe, stable electrical connections by preventing strain on terminal wires
• Prevents the terminal block from shifting during use or service
• Compatible with standard terminal block locations that use a push-in or snap-mount clip

• One terminal block mounting clip

• Always disconnect power before accessing or servicing electrical components
• Remove access panels and locate the terminal block; clip typically snaps into a chassis slot or aligns with an existing mounting boss
• Handle wiring and terminals gently to avoid loosening connections; verify all wires are secure after reinstall
