Frigidaire FEF314BWA User guide

If the infinite switch contacts are good, and the element does
not heat, check for voltage at the element receptacle. If no
voltageisindicated,checkforbrokenwiringorlooseconnec-
tions. If voltage is indicated, the problem is in the heating ele-
ment.
Indicator Light
If the elements heat up but the indicator light does not glow,
check for voltage at the indicator terminals. 240 VAC should
be present at the indicator terminals. If voltage is present at
theindicatorterminals,replacethe indicatorlight.If novoltage
is present at the
indicator terminals, check for loose connections, broken wir-
ing, or open L1-P contact in the infinite switch.
SurfaceElements
Ifthe heating element does notheatup, check for line voltage
at receptacle.Approximately 240 VAC should be indicated at
the
elementreceptacle with the infinite switchinthe HI position. If
novoltageisindicatedatreceptacle,check for loose connec-
tions, broken wiring, or a defective infinite switch. If voltage is
present at the receptacle terminals, check element for conti-
nuityusing procedures below.
1.Shut off power to range.
2.Remove elementfromreceptacle.
3.Set ohmmeter to R X 10 scale and attach meter leads to
element.A low OHMS reading (continuity)shouldbe indi-
cated, and this reading may vary slightly on each element
tested. If infinite OHMS (open) is indicated, element must be
replaced(see Figure 3).
Surface Elements (Infinite) Switch
The surface elements and controls provide an infinite choice
ofheat settings forcooking. Controls aresafety type andmust
be pushed in before turning. All surface controls are marked
onthecontrolpanelfortheirrespective heatingelement.Power
is supplied to the surface elements through the infinite switch
contactsL1-H1 and L2-H2.
Continuity tests can be performed on the infinite switch con-
tacts. All tests should be performed with power to the range
disconnected, and wiring removed from the switch. Set an
ohmmeter on R X 1K scale and check the contacts in the
chart below (Figure 1). The location of the switch terminals is
shownin Figure 2.
NOTE:During actual surface elementoperation,contacts L2-
H2will cycle tomaintainthe correct heat setting.Contacts L1-
P provide power to the surface element indicator light.

BakeElement
If the bake element does not heat up, check for line voltage
across element terminals.Approximately 240 VAC should be
indicated across terminals. If no voltage is indicated across
terminals,check for broken wire betweenthermostatand ele-
ment. Check thermostat. If voltage is present at the element,
checkelement for continuity using procedures below.
1.Shut off power to range.
2.Remove wireleadsfrom element terminals.
3.Set ohmmeter to R X 10 scale and attach meter leads to
element.AlowOHMS reading(continuity)shouldbe indicated.
IfinfiniteOHMS(open)isindicated,elementmustbereplaced.
Broil Element
If the broil element does not heat up, check for line voltage at
elementterminals.Approximately240VACshouldbeindicated
at the element. If no voltage is indicated across terminals,
checkforbroken wirebetween thermostatandelement.Check
thermostat. If voltage is present at the element, check ele-
mentfor continuity using procedures below.
1.Shut off power to range.
2.Remove wireleadsfrom element terminals.
3.Set ohmmeter to R X 10 scale and attach meter leads to
element.Alow OHMSreading(continuity)shouldbe indicated.
IfinfiniteOHMS(open)is indicated,element mustbe replaced.
Thermostat Selector Switch
The temperature control is a combination thermostat and se-
lectorswitch assembly.Thetemperaturecontrol is performed
by cycling contacts in the thermostat.
The selection of bake or broil operation is done at the control
dial. The contacts C-BAare closed when a bake temperature
isselected.The contactsC-BR areclosedwhen thebroil func-
tion is chosen.
Oven Indicator Light
The oven indicator light operates any time the thermostat se-
lectorswitch is placedinoperation. It willcyclewith the opera-
tion of the cycling contacts in the thermostat (glows with con-
tacts closed). It is a 240 VAC indicator light. OHMS
