FGEF3055MBA Frigidaire Range - Instructions

moved the range out to access back
removed 5 screws from back panel
removed 1 screw from thermostat installed new one
replaced screws, done in 20 minutes
problem solved

1. Researched problem to identify components involved.
2. Made a conscious decision to replace both bake element and ECB at the same time since the oven will be 10 years old next year and both have been utilized heavily over those years. Baking is a daily routine in this family, so more days without an oven was less desirable than a sure fix in one session.
3. With both parts on hand and my schedule cleared, set about making the repair:
ECB
4. Unplugged stove from wall socket.
5. Removed bottom and top back panels. The ECB replacement required the top panel removed. The bake element replacement required the bottom panel removed. The ECB replacement came with an unexpected, but welcome power filter that attached easily to the power leads and grounded into the oven frame.
6. Took a digital photo of the ECB wiring before removing any leads.
7. Detached leads from the ECB (no tools required).
8. Removed screws holding ECB to oven frame.
9. Removed ECB
10. Using a plastic drywall putty knife, very gently and carefully separated the overlay from the ECB. I had ordered an overlay with my original order because I was unsure how difficult this process would be and whether I would be effective at making the separation without damage. The overlay was still on back-order when I started the repair, so I was able to cancel that part of the order when I had completed the overlay separation without any damage to the overlay. Just go nice and easy and don't rush and you'll be able to separate the overlay from the ECB without damage.
11. Lined up and applied overlay to new ECB unit. Again, just take your time and check all the edges and corners.
12. Attached new ECB unit with applied overlay to the oven frame with the screws that had been taken out earlier
13. Connected leads to ECB, verified everything looked the same as the digital photo.
14. Without re-attaching the back panels, carefully plugged in the stove to verify connectivity to the ECB. Unplugged stove again.
Baking element:
15. Unscrewed oven bottom tray/bake element protector. There are two screws with attached washers in the back. These were very stuck, so used a squirt of WD40 on each and waited 10 minutes to loosen them up. They came out readily after that.
16. Press down on front of bottom tray. This will raise up the back of the bottom tray (like a see-saw), giving you just enough space to grasp it with your fingers and lift up. Wiggle the bottom tray past the convection fan louvers as you raise it up and back to free up the front lip. Set bottom tray aside.
17. Remove screws that hold the bake element in place against the back of the oven interior and on the bar that holds the bake element to the bottom of the oven interior.
18. Disconnect leads to the bake element from the back. You can tell which ones to remove easily if you have a helper jiggle the bake element a little from the other side while you observe the back of the stove.
19. Re-use the bar that holds the bake element to the bottom of the oven interior. Slide it off of the old bake element and carefully slide it onto the new bake element. Be careful to avoid scratches while doing this.
20. Align the bar that holds the bake element to the bottom of the oven interior with the screw holes, fasten this.
21. Adjust the bake element so that the fastener plates at the back line up with the screw holes on the back of the oven interior, fasten these.
22. Attach leads to the bake element in the back.
23. Plug in the stove and give it a test run after setting the time. In our case, with the new ECB and bake element in place, the oven reached 350 F in exactly 10 minutes. We were very happy with this.
24. Re-attach back panels
25. Done!
NOTE: You may smell a little bit of machine oil burn on the first and second uses of the oven. This burns off completely by the third use.

Husband very ill in bed. It's up to me!! Got a new bulb at HomeDepot and figured out how to get that wire 'thing' back in and the new glass cover installed. I DID IT!! WOW! My husband has always done these jobs around the house.......but now it's up to me.......and I'm not so dumb after all! I DID IT!! Now everyone who comes in the house.....I show them what I DID!! :-)

I followed the video on the website. The probe is on back of the oven. Just unplug part and replace. That was not our fix all though as I later found that the igniter was not working. The igniter is also an easy fix but you access it through the front of the oven. Also an easy swap.

Oven is working great now.

Our issues kind of fell between two of the descriptions so I went with high percentage cheaper fix first.

If your oven is intermittingly getting hot or to temperature of 100, it is probably the igniter.

Have used PartsSelect for Washing Machine, Dryer, Refridgerator and now the Range. Super easy to figure out needed parts and videos walk you through the repair.

Thanks

Went well, and working thank you ??

turned power off at fuse box took of back panel about8-10 nuts unhooked wires with pliers that went to element then took2 nuts out that held element up and 2nuts holding element took out and put new one in works great

After a brief discussion with CS about the electric stove part was shipped it arrived and I proceeded to install I found it needed to be installed sideways not up & down like the old one. The terminals did not line up so I put the black lead first and the purple lead last in doing that I burned out the switch??? was not easy to install as the video showed his switch matched each wire? My installation was sideways??

first the temperature sensor then the igniter. started to do the igniter by using common sense then I used YouTube which made it a lot faster.
the temperature sensor installs from the back of the stove, the igniter installs from thr front ie, the drawer and inside oven.

The bulb has a plastic clear cover. That cover can just be carefully removed using a screwdriver. It's held in by a metal bracket. After you remove the cover. You'll just need to replace the bulb and then re-install the cover and bracket.

Used instruction video & replaced part.

I looked up the problem on YouTube and it said it was the oven temperature probe was going out. So I ordered the probe and it was shipped out, received within two days. Took out a few screws on the back of the stove installed it, put it all back together and it’s working perfect.

I follow the video on your site

Removed 4 screws on back cover removed 1 screw holding probe and unplugged the probe took it out and installed new probe.

The youtube video clearly described how to remove the back panel and how to replace the probe.
The repair took maybe 20 minutes to complete and 1/2 of that time was spent cleaning behind and underneath the range!
Range is working perfectly now!

Very easy just had to pull the wire up that holds it secure.
