Troubleshoot A Frigidaire Electric Range

Frigidaire manufactures free-standing and slide-in electric ranges available through retailers like Sears, Lowe's and Best Buy. Features of Frigidaire electric ranges include electronic displays, self-cleaning modes and automatic locking. If your range fails to operate properly, you can troubleshoot the problem before calling for service.


Instructions


1. Check that the range is getting power. Replace any blown household fuses or reset the circuit breaker if it has tripped. The plug needs to be firmly inserted into the wall outlet.


2. Press the "Cancel" key if an "F" error message appears on the display of your range. You will have to re-enter any settings you previously selected.


3. Adjust the placement of the electric coils if the surface elements fail to heat. Remove the coils when the oven is turned off and seat them into the terminals so that they are aligned correctly.


4. Check to make sure the self-cleaning mode is finished. During the self-cleaning cycle, all controls on the range are locked, including surface elements, for safety reasons. Select the "Cancel" key if you want to end the self-cleaning mode early.


5. Check the range to make sure it is level. Place a level on the center rack when the appliance is turned off. If the range is not level, adjust the legs by turning them clockwise or counterclockwise.
