CGEF3040PFA Frigidaire Range - Instructions

After settling that it was the Surface Element Switch, ordering and securing the switch, the first step was to disconnect the power to the Oven/Range. Next pull out the Range and remove the back and disconnect the switch from the top of the Range. Using the new switch I removed the wire connectors from the old switch and reconnected them to the new switch in the same spot that they came from. After connections were secure I reattached the switch to the back of the Range and reattached the back of the Range. When everything was back in place the power source was reconnected and that was it.

I was able to find the most common reason for my oven's symptom by searching online. I searched for the part I needed but was not confident that I would get the correct part until I looked on partselect.com. After verifying the part number with my owners manual and looking at the video on their website, I decided to order. PartSelect shipped the part as expected, and I was able to install it in less than 30 minutes. The only tool needed for installation was a nut driver. My oven is now working like new.

Many thanks to PartSelect for their comprehensive website and fine service.

I changed the temperature sensor and tried again. The stove again went on temp runaway and it was suggested to replace control board which is out of stock.
I will have to toss out this stove and buy new as you and no else has this part.

However the 1a 1b etc. Are very hard to see thus the need to magnify. Then it was easy.
I must say the guy I talked to was very nice.

I pulled the oven away from the wall, unplugged the cord, removed the back panel then removed the screw from the old sensor.

Turned off power at breaker, took back off range, removed red and blue wires, removed oven door, removed two screws holding in broil element, removed wires supporting old element, installed new element and reversed procedure.

Removed 2 screws located underneath the front lip of the range top. Lifted range top and supported. Removed the 2 screws at either end of the support bracket. This bracket holds the elements in position. Be careful not to let the elements fall out when removing. The elements are now free to replace. Swap out the old with the new and be sure to reconnect the wires to the correct terminals on the new element. I did 1 wire at a time so as to not make a mistake at reconnecting the wires. Then replace the support bracket with the 2 screws and lower the range top in place and put back the 2 screws that hold the range top in position. VOILA!! Success. It works. The wife is now happy again:)

Unscrew two very visible screws located in the back of the oven holding in the panel. Remove panel. Install new panel. Replace screws. Could have used new screws but didn’t have any.

Hero to my wife !

Started with trying to take the door off for easier access to heating element.

I ended up lifting the door off and the front glass shattered and I sliced my hand open.

Ended up buying a new oven/range.

The repair was easy. We removed the door with the lever on both sides of the door. Unscrewed four screws and inserted the new glass. It took about 45 mins. It worked perfectly.

my original part arrived and it did not fit. When I called to explain the problem I was told it was the wrong part. The big problem is... Frigidaire calls the receptacle a terminal block kit as well as a terminal block kit which is a totally different part. I tried to explain that to several different folks I spoke to at your company as well as Frigidaire but I'm not sure if I got that point across. Take a look at part # 530 393 5058 and part # 530 440 9888 and you will see that they both mention terminal block kit. Hopefully the part I am getting from Frigidaire is an OEM part and will fit.

We were able to YouTube instructions as to what the error was. Fortunately, the part was in stock and it was received very quickly. However, it would’ve been helpful if the customer service person recommended the overlay that is also needed for the part. Fortunately, YouTube showed that the overlay needed to be peeled off and put onto the new part. We had no idea, thank goodness YouTube excited. This site was very helpful to get the part to us quickly.
