How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety First: Turn off power at the breaker before touching any wiring or elements.
- Visual inspection: Look at the bake element for cracks, breaks, or blisters. Any visible damage usually means it must be replaced.
- Test element: Disconnect the bake element leads and measure resistance. An open circuit indicates a failed element; replace with the correct Frigidaire bake element for your model.
- Check terminals: Inspect the element terminals and wires for heat damage or looseness. Repair or replace burned connectors.
- Control output: If the element and wiring are good, the EOC may not be sending power to bake. Replace the EOC or relay board.
