CGEF3055MWD Frigidaire Range - Instructions

Followed the instructions that came with control board. The new contol kit came with a upgrade, which I think to help keep this from happening again. Very easy repair to do.

Removed screws on the sides and front.
Labeled the wire sets connected to the front control panel.
Gently lifted up the stove top and flipped it over on to a towel.
Removed the piece of metal holding down the burner.
Disconnected the cables to the old burner.
Repeated steps above in reverse.

Unplugged unit and removed back panel with nut driver. Removed door, racks and unscrewed element braces from back of unit. Removed element and installed the new one. Reversed the process and then ran the unit through a preheat cycle to test it.

Twisted replacement bulb into place easily. Let there be light!

Replaced the dual element switch and that fixed it up

I replaced the bulb using my hands to twist the bulb in the socket located at the top of the refrigerator.

My husband followed the video instructions and it was easy to fix.

Your service was OUTSTANDING...Ordered one afternoon, and before lunch time the next day, the delivery man rang my door bell...Thanks a bunch for you excellent service.....

The light apparatus was loose behind the panel. Remove the remaining part of the lens. Install the new lens from the outside of the panel and hold it in position, protruding into the inside of the panel. Slide the light apparatus onto the lens from the inside, allowing the bracket to hold it in place - it will be spring loaded, which will hold it in place.

removed the old burner and put the new one in it's place.

It was really easy just unplugged it took off the back cover changed the part out put back cover on plugged it in and the elements were working great!

I searched the web for a replacement and Parts Select had a picture and part number for the exact same probe. I ordered the probe and it arrived very quickly. The problem was that the probe I received didn't match the picture as shown on the web site. Instead I received a probe that was a different color and the actual probe was about 2" shorter than the one I was replacing. I called customer service and was told that the probe I received was the new version that the older version was discontinued. If they had updated their pictures on the web site I would not have ordered the probe. Parts Select customer service did apologize for the issue and offered to have me return for a refund.

I will order from Parts Select but I will call first to verify that the item pictured is the actual item being shipped. Parts Select please update the part pictures to show the actual items being sold.

When the part arrived, I open the box. Cut off my breaker to the range. Pulled back the stove and unscrewed the back. Located the probe, unscrewed the one screw that held it in. I then unclamped the white connectors, remove the old probe, replaced it with the new one reclamped the connectors. Screwed it back into the range. Replaced the back and screwed that back together. It was so easy I was very proud of my self. I cut the breaker back on and cooked a can of biscuits just to see if it really worked. And it did. My bread was not burned, it was cooked to perfection.

I couldn't unscrew the leveling foot because it was rusted and corroded. The bracket holding it was easy to remove so I took the bracket with the corroded foot off and replaced it with the new foot and bracket. Very simple. I made sure I oiled it so it wouldn't rust again.

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.
