FED355ASC Frigidaire Range - Instructions

followed the video provided on line which was very helpful..

snap out the old one and snap in the new

Plugged the new one in and it worked.
I did search out Frigidaire parts and there are other types tha may or may not work. Calrod burners are not all that unusual. I went with the real thing.

Remove the lower bake element by removing the 2 retaining screws that secure the element to the inside oven back. Carefully slide the element out. There are 2 wires attached to the terminals of the element. While removing be careful to not pull the insulation out with the wiring. Attach the wires to the terminals of the new element and reinstall in reverse order.

This range is probably 30+ years old. Still works great. Just needed to replace the Drip Bowls.

removed knob from bag and stuck it on the shaft. took approx. 15 seconds. It took 4 months to get the part. Total cost with tax and shipping was $60.35.

I unplugged the dead burner and plugged in the new burner. Very easy. No tools needed.

Cut the old block off tied new wires to hot wires . That easy!

Unplugged elements. Removed old pans. Wiped out holes. Inserted new pans, replaced elements.

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 turned off the power, took out the element, installed new element.

Unplugged the element and the melted on pot. Plugged in the new element. I thought I might need a whole new cooktop but a new element was very easy to find online.

Pulled old burner out, pushed new one in. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! Heats very quickly, now.

replaced old drip bowls with new ones

Bottom oven quit heating about 6 mos. ago and now top oven quit. Broiler worked fine on both. Bought 1 replacement element to try. Did not work on either oven. Found online where someone had found a bad solder joint on a relay board so I pulled the oven and removed the covers. (WITH POWER OFF. I made a diagram of the wire connections to the board and removed it. I FOUND a cold solder joint on the L2 connection of the top oven board. I found the exact same cold solder joint on the bottom oven board also. After resoldering the connections and touching up any suspect joints I replaced the boards. They BOTH WORKED fine!
Anyone that can't solder can take the boards to a local radio/TV repair shop and probably get the techincian to resolder it for a minimum fee. It is certainly worth the attempt.
