I have a Frigidaire cooktop, model #GLEC3689EBB. We prepared a dish for supper, went into the dining room to eat. Something smelled hot and when we went to the kitchen, another burner was glowing red (not the one used to prepare supper) and the control knob was not turned on. We could figure no way of turning it off other than to shut off the breaker. What's could be causing this problem? Dave Gibbard ([email protected]

Hello Friend, this is Z. Thank you for your post!

Based on the symptoms you are describing it appears that your Frigidaire cooktop may possibly have a faulty switch or EOC (electronic oven control). This is not a normal DIY job so you may want to connect with a local servicer to determine the exact diagnosis.

No recalls that I know of.  The switch for that burner has shorted and will need to be replaced.  It will be fine once it is repaired.

SOURCE: Whirlpool Flat cooktop burner not heating up

Try cleaning the knobs. I did the same thing you did (turning the circuit breaker off but that did not solve the problem.

My wife just tried turning the knobs and that seemed to work. It appears that one of the knobs may have been so sticky that the though it's in the OFF position it thinks it's still ON.

SOURCE: Front burner won't ignite when turned on.

Hello there:
if you Heard or seen this poping you probably have shorted out the ignitor mechanism You can try unplugginh the stove and removing the part and inspecting it and see if it can be cleaned and doubkle check the wiring to see ithatthey are not greasy or there is any buiold up on the wires then reinsert the part and see if it will work now but if not you will have to replave the ignitor ok
If you have a local appliance repair center you should be able to get the part from there if not go online and go to www.repair clinic.com youcan order it from them ok
Hope this is very helpful for you
Best regards MIchael

Oven doesn't let steam out

Thank you for your inquiry, friend!
From the information you have provided your Frigidaire range is not allowing steam to come out. If your vent is blocked it will not release the hot air or steam. Could you provide me with your model number? You can locate the serial tag (which lists your model number) on the door frame of the lower drawer. With the model number I can provide you further assistance. -Matt

Frigidaire electric cooktop locked

I appreciate your post, friend!

I noticed your question is labeled under Frigidaire cooktop model, FEC30S7E. I have located the Use and Care Guide for your cooktop and I was unable to locate a lock feature. You could perform a reset on your appliance and you can do that by unplugging the power cord or flipping the circuit breaker off for ten minutes.
If that does not correct your issue could you please provide me with your model number? Usually you can locate the serial tag (which lists your model number) inside your burner box or on the outside of the appliance base. With that information I can look further into your model. I look forward to assisting you. -Matt

The left rear stove element went on High and would not turn off by controls, why? There was an F550 code that came earlier with the oven?

My range was doing the same thing. I finally called the Consumer Protection Agency and reported it. It launched a national recall. With their help, Frigidaire replaced my range. On Easter 2014, the new one did the same thing. Burner turned on by itself, to 8.5 with knob in the off position. We had to unplug it. Frigidaire once again did not care. I contacted the CPSA again - they are investigating. I will NEVER have another Frigidaire Range. Check your model number against the recall information. Don't trust it! It is a fire hazard.

I have a frigidaire ceramic cooktop. It started making a "popping noise" and there was a burned smell, but the stove was not on. I had to turn off the breaker to stop this.

Either there's ashort in the stove top or the wiring going to the appliance. Sorry but I would have to see it to see exactly how to fix the problem. the top needs to be removed and inspect the wiring to it. Test the top with a voltmeter forshorts.

I have a glass top stove and when I use my big front burner I can smell something electricall hot.What is a possible problem and can it be fixed???

Hello- I would stop using that burner immediately, it is possible that there is an electrical short either in the burner or the burner switch. This could potentially cause fire or a shock. You will need to have a Tech out to diagnose the problem. Good luck, best regards.

Where did you smell the smell was it from the fan switch. turn the power off and take the screw out of where the fan switch is and check the wires to the switch and the switch itself. sometimes the jennair cooktops have issues with that switch. let me know how it goes
