GW30SPED1 Frigidaire Range - Instructions

First unplug the electricity from the stove. Replacement terminals on back of switch are set different than the originals. So, I took notes (purple wire =P, Black wire=L1, two yellow wires = H1 & H2, and orange wire=L2). Your stove might be different in the color coding. Just take notes. First I unscrewed the screws on the top back plate of the stove. Removed the back plate. Took notes on where the wires went. Removed the wires going to the five terminals. Unscrewed the two screws on front panel of the stove holding the old switch in place. Removed the old switch. Put in the new switch through the back of stove. Determined the length of the control shaft. Take the switch back out. With two pliers on the control shaft, holding the pliers closer to the switch firmly, use the second pliers just past the predetermined breaking point. With the second pliers snap off the control shaft. Be careful not to snap off two much. Place the switch in the proper place and mount to the stove. You may need some parts in the assembly parts package for this. I did not. Inside of the parts package is a set of plastic parts. I selected the part I needed to insert into the control knob for a bushing just to take up space. I placed that part inside of the control knob. I then placed it onto the control shaft. Plug back the wire going to the electric outlet. Instead of unplugging and plugging, you might want to switch off the circuit breaker and switch back on when the job is done. It works!

Repair was easy. just unscrewed the old handle, holes measured correctly and screwed in the new handle.The only flaw was that it did not come with the two end caps,they have to be bought separately & the handle ends are sharp without them.

unplug old baking element using socket tool and put in new baking element - very simple and it works!

replaced it

Removed the 2 element holding screws, disconnected the element leads & remover element. Replaced with new element.
All in all a real easy job (wish all repairs went this easy)
PartSelect had the element at the house within a couple days (Correct part I might add) which made the wife happy !!

I just had to plug the new burner plate in the receptical
and it works again very well.

First I removed the 2 screws on each side of the element and then pulled the element out, disconnected the 2 wires that were holding the element, got the new element and connected it to the wires, slid back into position, put the screws back in that hold the element and put the racks back in and turned on for test. It was so easy I had it done before my husband arrived home from work.

Took the back panel off. Removed the 2 screws from the old element,removed it. Put the new one in and replaced the screws. Put the back panel on done. What took the longest was cleaning behind there !!

Unscrewed back of oven the plate that was holding on old element, removed it (plugged into small wire device)
Plugged in new one and replaced screws to hold in place.

1. First I pulled out the heating element from stovetop and removed old pan (no screws) very simple. 2. Put new pan in and inserted the heating element back in place.

The element pulls out easily and slides right back in and the drip bowls just lift in and out. TaDa !!

Watching the video showed an easy, unscrew and screw back on process while connecting the wires back. It was really that simple. Once it was complete (not even 10mins), plugged it back in, and its been working great since.

The meltdown was a spectacular event. After clearing the kitchen of smoke and allowing the oven to cool down. I easily removed the remnents of the old element by removing the screws holding each side in place and disconnected the two wires. I then insulated the hot side wire (red) to prevent the possibility of a short when resetting the breaker in order to use the stove top. The next day I found PartSelect.com and ordered the very reasonably priced new part with optional overnight shipping. it arrived at 1:00 pm the following day. Installation was a simple reverse of the removal. The oven works great and I now keep a fire extinguisher in my kitchen.

Moved stove out from wall and cabinets, then unplugged the stove. Removed the oven racks, then removed the 2 screws securing the baking (lower) element to the rear wall of the oven. Pulled the element out a few inches and disconnected it from the stove wires. Removed old element. Removed screws from rear panel to gain access to wiring. Inserted new element and connected to wiring. Put element in place and replaced the 2 screws in rear wall. Put rear panel back in place and replaced panel screws. Plugged stove back in and moved back into place. Tested oven and it worked just fine. Parts Select did a great job of filling my order and promptly shipping it. I got it in 2 working days.

I just followed the instructions that I found online.
