Our fridgedaire oven wont heat up. you can set the temp but it stays cold.
Hi.
Since the oven has two heating elements, if the oven does not heat up on any condition, and both broiling and baking element are not working, then
the most common fault causing the problem is a faulty temperature
probe.
The temperature probe is located inside the oven cavity.
On most ovens there is only one temperature sensor, connected in line
on the circuit from electronic oven control to baking and broiling
element.
When the probe fails, it will affect both baking and broiling function.
The
temperature probe is tested reaching the probe, cutting or disconnecting
its wiring, and testing the probe at room temperature, with a
multimeter set on impedance at Rx1. If the multimeter reads no
continuity (circuit open), then the probe must be replaced.
If
the temperature probe is good, then parts that may be responsible for
the fault are oven electronic control and wiring. Having both elements
failing at the same time would be rather unusual.
If
only one element is failing, then the fault is probably the element. In
that case you can test the element removing it from the cavity, and
testing Ohms on the element. If circuit is open , then the element must
be replaced.
Regards.
My frigidaire was a different model, but it wasn't the probe or the elements. It was the clock timer (EOC). Do you know how to use a multimeter?
Last night my husband put my Frigidiare Gallery Series Gas Oven on self clean. It got unusually hot he said and not when I press the button for the oven to ignite, it won't come on. The timer and clock work. What could be wrong? Model number fgf379wjca
