I have a frigidaire oven model number GLEF378CSB - won't heat up

Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand that the broil element is heating in your Frigidaire oven, but the bottom bake element will not heat. I suggest resetting your appliance, by either unplugging it or shutting the power off at your home's circuit breaker, for 3-5 minutes. When you restore power you will need to set the clock. Preheat your oven using the bake option. I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your oven status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Karen, We are sorry to hear about your Oven. We are happy to look into your concerns but we will need your your address, phone number, the model and serial number, the website you were contacted on, Fixya, your review ID, and date of purchase to [email protected].

it sounds like something shorted in the clock assy. check the elements to see if they are damaged,sometimes they blow apart and also take out the clock assy.when you change the bulb anywhere you want to make sure the power is off to it,shut off the light switch and when you open the door hold in the door switch or just unplug it or kill the breaker,you can try to get the rest of the bulb out with a pair of needlenose plyers,next time send the model number and i can look up your machine to help you find out how much the part is and part number.

The oven bake element has burnt out and needs replacing. Shut the power off to the range. Remove the element mounting screws located inside the oven above or below each end of the element. Carefully slide the element out, disconnect electrical wiring. Install new element.

To be certain the elements are o/k you need to test them with a meter. I suspect one of them has failed.
You normally cannot always tell if they are o/k simply by looking at them.
Hope this helps.

look for a shorted bake element .. you should be able to see where it poped. ( some times ) if you have ohm meter you can ck for an open element . **** //

sound like elementht blew and took your breaker out theres not normally a internel fuse......

Hello, I have the same problem after moving and reconecting in a new house. right now it looks like that the clock and controlboard (P/N GAP316207529) is damaged. I will let you know where and how you can get the part and how to install it. I hope that my first try will solve the problem. (I'm living in Germany)

Not popping sound you heard was the element popping take care of it out did you take your fingers and go round the outside of the element you'll find a whole the place that element you get your heat back

if an element itself had shorted it would not stop the other from working and you could inspect each element and see blistering as evidence.the pop you heard has to be in common with both elements but not the cook top[burners]so thats going to be the wiring in the back of range, or switching,[thermostat,clock timer or oven selector switch,depends on which model you have]you will have to pull range and remove back pannels.you will find an obivous burn't connection.too repair all new connections must be clean and tight,or will burn again.
