How to fix the oven in your Frigidaire electric range
An inadequate power supply, a break in wires, a failed bake element or a faulty electronic control board could prevent the oven from heating. Follow these tips to fix the oven on your Frigidaire range.
- Check the power supply. First, confirm that your range has 240 volts of power going to the oven. You may think that your oven is getting enough power if the controls light up. An electric oven needs 240 volts to heat, but only 120 volts to operate the controls. Even if the controls work, you could still have a power source problem. If a surface burner heats, the range is getting 240 volts. If the surface burner doesn't heat, check your house circuit breakers for the range. One of the two circuit breakers could have tripped, which could be why your range is only getting 120 volts. Reset both circuit breakers for your range and check for oven heat. If the range still isn’t getting any heat, the power socket may be broken. Have an electrician fix that type of failure.
- Check the bake element. Unplug the range and use a multimeterto check continuity through the bake element. Replace the bake element if the multimeter measures no continuity through the element.
- Check the bake element wiring. If the multi-meter measured about 16 ohms of resistance through the bake element, there could be a break in the wiring between the electronic control board and the bake element. Check the continuity of the wires between the electronic control board and the bake element. Repair or replace any broken wires.
- Replace the electronic control board. If the range is getting 240 volts of power, and the bake element and its wiring are all okay, then it’s likely you need to replace the electronic control board to fix the oven.
Diagnosing a gas burner that isn't heating correctly
Clear any clogs from the burner orifice and burner head.
A failed surface burner control valve can prevent a surface burner from heating correctly. Replace the burner control valve if it doesn’t control gas flow as it should.
If neither the oven burners nor the surface burners heat properly, check the gas supply going to the range for proper gas pressure. Get help from your local gas supplier if supply pressure is deficient. A failing pressure regulator in the range can also prevent oven and surface burners from getting the right amount of gas. You may need to replace the pressure regulator if the gas supply to the range is good but gas pressure going to the oven and surface burners is weak.
