Drawer glide came off oven drawer. Wish I had taken old part off and inspected more closely. I thought tab had broke off. Turns out these glides are made of steel and very robust. However the drawer is soft sheet metal. I took off the old glide and turned out it was fine. Tab just popped out. But there was a burr on drawer i had to file off to get back on. So my advice is take old glide off first and inspect carefully.

removed screws from back cover then pulled elect. plug apart. removed screw pulled out probe installed new probe put cover back on very easy only problem was that it said that 88% of time would fix the problem. will this time it didn't work oven still over heating.

Pulled oven out, took the screws out of back plate cover plate with socket wrench, pulled connectors out through the back, removed the door, pushed the element rods through the two holes, connected the two wires, screwed the element in, put the hangars on for the element, put the back plate on and turned the broiler on, worked great, put the range door back on and has been working great. Great company, hope not to use them again, but good to know they are there with my part.

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

I wanted the bracket for the oven heating element and received the bracket for the broiler.... part returned and now I am stumped about what my next move will be

1) First things first. Either turn off the Circuit breaker, or unplug oven.
2) Remove two screws under oven door that holds the glass top.
3) lift up the glass top, prop it with the 18” board, and place blanket between glass top and oven.
4) Remove two screws of the bracket that hold the two burners.
5) use tour phone camera to take pictures of where the colored wires go on the heating element.
6) use needle nose pliers to pinch, and push out the heating element from the bracket.
7) Remove the wires from the heating element, and the three brackets.
8) Place the three brackets onto the new heating element at the same hole location as the were on the old one.
9) Press the new heating element in the main holding bracket.
10) Place the wires on the correct terminals of the heating element. Note: the camera phone pictures work perfect for this.
11) Raise the two burners attached to the bracket up, and attach the two screws holding this bracket back up under the glass top.
12) Remove the blanket, board, and lower the glass top into place.
13) Open the oven door, and place the two screws back into place that is holding the glass top.
14) Turn the power back on and test.

Note: Other things to consider is you want to have the help of a helper while doing this procedure. The more hands you have holding things the better. There are YouTube videos on installing oven heating elements.

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.

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.

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:)

replaced it

Called fridgidaire and they told me the a F31 code means my temperature sensor is not working.
So I ordered one online. I installed it and I still have F31 code and still won't work. So what now? Do I trust them to tell me another part?

Ensured breaker was off. My range is hot wired. Removed all cables from old terminal block with nutdriver. Used phillips head screw driver to remove old terminal block from back of range. replaced old terminal block with new one. Re-attached accessory cables to small terminals first, then the main cables to the terminal block using where necessary long nose pliers. It is important to make note of which cables are attached to each terminal of the block, so make a sketch PRIOR to removal. Also be careful how the cables are attached to the block. You are using 10 gauge cable with thick insulation. It is important that when pushing the range back into position the cable does not put too much pressure on the block as it will break it. That's exactly what happened to this last one. It probably cracked under the strain of the pressure of the cable and finally current running through it weakened it to the point where it broke off from the block causing it to short and trip the breaker.

Checked the burner and no power to heat the burner. removed the old switch and put on the new one.
