I have a Frigidare Gallery Range PFEF385JFB1 the right front expandable element, only the small (center) element works, does not appear to be fused what other issues could there be? If I need to change the element, What is the part number I need to order to replace the element? Thanks

It is the burner control (behind the knob). The triac in the control has failed. $50 item, 10 minute change. Just make note which wire goes to which terminal.

I doubt that it is the control board, as the board has little to do with the stove top, but rather controls the display and the oven temperature/feedback monitoring.

Hope this helps.

Unplug the range from power.
Open the oven door. Look on the right and left sides of the oven frame just below the top. Remove the 2 screws. Pull the top forward. Remove the wiring harness connector at the back.Lift the top up and off. Set the top aside.

Hi, If I was being called out to look at your range and you described to me what you said in your post, I would definetly bring an element. I suugest you tell that to your service person or purchase a new element. That is quite often the way the element's burn out, just as you described...a sparkler. Hope that help's. Good luck and thank's for visiting fixya. Macmarkus :)

You can replace this element yourself and it is not uncommon for elements to melt if you don't catch it burning when it first catches on fire. This is scary, but normally, the element burns itself out on it's own and doesn't catch anything else on fire.
