Plugged the new one in and it worked. I did search out Frigidaire parts and there are other types tha may or may not work. Calrod burners are not all that unusual. I went with the real thing.
Turn off circuit breaker Open oven remove two oven racks Position flash light Remove two Phillips head screws that hold the element in place Gently slide out element until you locate the two small wires Gently Detach the two small wires from the back of the burned out element Position the new element in the bottom of the oven and attach the two small wires to the back of the new element Gently slide the element back in place and replace the two Phillips screws that hold the element in place Make certain the new element is lying flat on the bottom of the oven Replace the two oven racks Turn on the circuit breakers and test the oven
Had to remove oven door due to cabinetry. Removed screws holding unit to back wall. Pulled unit forward to release unit from front roof and expose wire connections to unit. Trick #1--get both hands into oven to to remove wires from unit. Front hanger for unit was different than old unit. Had to remove front hanger from both units. Hanger from old unit had to be sqeezed onto new unit in the unit in the proper location to fit into the roof stirrup to hang the unit. Now, two arms and hands into the back of the oven to reconnect the wires to the element. Slide the old support into the stirrup and screw to back wall. Result, the back wall plate of the new element partially covered the edge of the light cover which will be a challenge to replace the bulb.
Pulled the heating element on each burner installed the drip pans.
They fit perfectly for this stove. I had bought some drip pans but definitely not the correct pan. Saved time and about same at stores price. Great service thank you will order elements next. Pull heating elements remove drip pans and replace with new pans ,replace heating element. Done
Bottom oven quit heating about 6 mos. ago and now top oven quit. Broiler worked fine on both. Bought 1 replacement element to try. Did not work on either oven. Found online where someone had found a bad solder joint on a relay board so I pulled the oven and removed the covers. (WITH POWER OFF. I made a diagram of the wire connections to the board and removed it. I FOUND a cold solder joint on the L2 connection of the top oven board. I found the exact same cold solder joint on the bottom oven board also. After resoldering the connections and touching up any suspect joints I replaced the boards. They BOTH WORKED fine! Anyone that can't solder can take the boards to a local radio/TV repair shop and probably get the techincian to resolder it for a minimum fee. It is certainly worth the attempt.
The original element in the oven burned up one evening
We pulled the stove out from its slot in our island. We unplugged it and unhooked the gas line so we could get behind it easily. We then took off the back (using screwdriver) to get to the connectors for the element. We unhooked the connectors from the old element. Then we took off the plate inside the back of the oven (using screwdriver)and gently pulled the old element out. We seated the new element in the oven and then hooked it up in the back and put it all back together again. It worked perfectly! The hardest part was cleaning the dirty floor under where the oven had been for 7 years!
