Easy install.
The part was exactly what I needed for an “antique” Frigidaire galleria wall oven. It had been showing errors F3and F1 and turning off during use. The connectors were not compatible (which I expected due to age) so I attached the wires with a ceramic nut. All in all about 5 minute task, plus putting it back in the wall.

Googled the problem and found Oven Temperature Sensor and Main Terminal Block to be the most likely problems. Turned out to be neither. No parts were needed.

You need a special tool. I used two hacksaw blades as a substitute, and slid them in to release the clips. Once you figure out how to get the oven out the rest is simple.

My oven won't heat up. The broiler will get hot but the bottom element won't. I replaced the bottom element but it still won't heat up? Help debra
Hi Debra,
Thank you for your inquiry. If the bake element is not coming on then you will likely need to replace the temperature sensor. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

LEWIS - For model number GLED388DSA

Oven and broiler elements will not heat up. I thank everything else works ok. What do i need to replace?
Hello Lewis, thank you for your question. It sounds like it might be the sensor probe or the control board. The oven is controlled by the electronic control board, and thermostat or sensor probe. The I suggest testing the sensor with a Ohm Meter. Testing the temperature sensor probe on your oven is easy. With the sensor at room temperature, measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. The resistance of the sensor should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. You can also test the elements for continuity to be sure they are both functioning. If the sensor and elements are tested and are functioning correctly the electronic control board would be the issue. Good luck with your repair!

Turn the oven on to pre-heat and after a short time (10 mins?), i get an f10 error code on the control panel and oven is very hot! Temp sensor or control panel issue? Thanks! -rob
Hello Rob, thank you for contacting us. The sensor is a common part to cause that code. You can test the sensor with a multi-meter to determine if it is at fault. If the readings are good then the next part would be the electronic control board PS2368652. Hope this helps!
Hi Herman,
Thank you for your question. The DR error code just indicates that there is a miscommunication between your control board and the rest of your appliance. I would suggest unplugging your appliance for about 5 minutes. That may reset the board and fix your issue. Good luck with your repair.

About a month ago my oven over-heated and burned things to a crisp. I ordered a new probe for it and it worked again, but seemed to run on the hot side. It just over-heated again and burned my food. What is causing this and what part do you recommend? I think it read error f10 before i disconnected the electricity.
Hi Betty,
Thank you for your question. If the oven is over heating the part that fixes the issue the majority of the time is the oven temperature probe. If the new part is malfunctioning, I would use a multimeter to check the continuity of the probe as well as the wiring between the probe and the electronic control board and the electronic control board to verify which of these parts is causing the issue. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

After 30-40 minutes of cooking my oven beeps and displays f3. It takes 20-30 minutes before i can reset and continue cooking.
Hi S, thank you for your question. There are a couple parts that could cause this issue in your appliance. First you should check would be your oven temperature sensor. That can also be tested with a multi meter and should be reading between 1000 - 1100 ohms. If those three parts are fine however, then the issue may be in your control board. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Oven and broiler will not heat up.
Hi Mickey,
Thank you for the question. If both the bake and broil element are not turn on at all, we suggest you replace the Electronic Clock with Overlay - White.
Hope this helps!
Hi, I have a 2004 Frigidaire pro series double oven that the upper broiler element won't heat up on. If I turn on just the upper oven itself the lower burner heats up but not the top element (lower broiler and oven work fine). The upper oven portion heats up just not the broiler part element. I just replaced the element with a new one from you guys (thanks for the quick shipping) and the broiler still wont heat up. Could it now be the oven temperature probe (part number 316217002) that needs to be replaced? Thanks don

I have a 40", duel fuel, 2 oven range. Using an oven thermometer, each oven is about 50 degrees off. To bake at 350 degrees, i must set the ovens to 400 degrees. What do i need to fix this problem?
Hi Stephanie,
Thank you for your question. I would suggest testing your oven thermostat. It could be that it is reading the wrong temperature inside of your oven. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
