I have a frigidaire oven model # PLEB30S8CCB won't get above 290

I have a frigidaire oven model # PLEB30S8CCB that will not get above 290 degrees. It appears to me that one of the heating coils is out. Am I correct in my assumption and how do I determine which one it is? I believe it could be the lower coil.

Similar Problem: I also have an Electrolux/Frigidaire (model PLEB30S8CCB, 2003) that no longer heats above 260 degrees. The oven does get warm, but does not reach the target temp. of 350 (or whatever). The lower element does not glow, but does get warm. A test with an Ohm meter reads 20 on the element. Should I replace the element or be looking for a power supply problem or both?

The coils should glow red when working. If the lower (bake) element does not glow it may be burnt out. Some ovens cycle the bake and broil elements during preheat and that mey be why you are getting some heat.

I have a Frigidaire oven that is giving a F3 code

Error Code: F3

Solution: The oven temperature sensor may be failing or defective. First, check sensor harness and harness connection between oven sensor and oven control to see if there is an issue with loose wires or visible damage to the wiring, such as a burnt wire.Sep 1, 2018

GE Profile PT916SM1SS will not heat up past 290

Hi,

please check that the oven isn't leaking heat into another area. Or maybe your settings need some calibration or the temperature sensor for the oven is off by 60 degrees. If this is the case, changing the temperature setting to 410 should bring the internal temperature to 350 degrees. Please try this.

Thank you.

How do you reset the frigidaire wall oven?

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you are trying to reset your Frigidaire wall oven, model# FEB27S5A, due to it not heating above 100 degrees. I suggest resetting at your homes circuit breaker for 3-5 minutes. When you restore power, you will first need to set the clock. After setting the clock, preheat your oven. If you are still noticing that the temperatures are still not going above 100 degrees, I suggest contacting your local authorized technician for further assistance. They will be able to diagnose your appliance and determine what is causing it to not reach the desired temperatures. Hope this is helpful.

-Best regards-

I have a frigidaire range model number FEFL78CQA

Hello Steve Spinner - From what you have described it sounds like the range is either experiencing a wiring failure or the outlet may be damaged. Could it be pulling too much current, is the range plugged into the correct breaker size? If any proves to be ineffective, contact a professional to move forward accurately.

Hotpoint oven won't heat above 250 degrees broiler works fine as well as the stove top

either its the oven sensor rod located at the top of the ovens cavity,or your bake element could be getting a hot spot which is when it gets a discolored spot in the element and can no longer pass sufficient current to heat the oven past 250 degrees

Model: JDS8850AAS -- Oven won't preheat above 150

Hello,

The problem beleive it or not is that the bake ignitor is weak ,and it is not drawing the proper amprage to open the gas valve.If you have a amp meter access the wires to the bake ignitor(usually behind the storage drawer) and check for 3.3-3.6 amps when oven is set to bake by clamping the meter around ONE wire wire of ignitor make sure only one wire,either one and not both.
if amp draw less than 3.3-3.6 amps replace bake ignitor. I know it seems improbable that if the ignotor comes on that it could be the problem.Professional appliance technicians who would charge a average of $250.00 to repair your oven,have found when the ignitor comes on yet the oven won't heat that a weak ignitor is the cause 100% of the time

Hope this helps

Electric wall oven will not heat up

This is ovenmad from the previous post. I had a repair guy come out and he found the problem to be the Safety Thermostat. When tripped, this allows everything to work on the oven except the elements. He did not have the part with him so will return in 6 days to replace it. That should solve the problem. No idea why it tripped. The safety thermostat is located on the rear of the oven so we will have to pull out the oven to replace the thermostat. Again, this was a Frigidaire Single Electric Wall Oven made in 2004. Hope this helps somebody else.

Fridgidaire stove/ove

I have a Frigidaire electric oven model # PLES389ECE. It is two years old. It has maybe 50hrs of use. I had the oven blower motor go out. Then I had a circuit board malfunction.  The repairman discovered that one of the main terminal connections was loose and caused the terminal block to short. Could this have been the problem all along? Also, we are having a problem with the oven coming up to temp. According to the operating manual, set oven temp. lets say for example  350 degrees. Once the oven is preheated to 350 a beep sounds. With my oven the oven is about 60 degrees to low. You have to wait about 10 more minutes. Is this normal with this model? Has anyone else had problems with this model? I also heard that Frigidaire made a bad batch of ranges. Could this be one of them? 
Thanks, Vincent
