Frigidaire Oven Bake Element Parts — Models & Compatibility

When your Frigidaire oven stops heating or bakes unevenly, the bake element is usually the culprit. This hub covers the 316075104 replacement element that fits over 60 Frigidaire, Kenmore, Electrolux, and Tappan models. If you're getting little to no heat when baking, or your oven won't start at all, you're likely dealing with a burned-out element that's become brittle or shorted out over time.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number against the compatibility list below. You'll find your model number on a metal tag inside the oven door frame or along the front edge when you open the door. Models like the FEF366ECD, FEF352AWE, and FEF326FSB are common fits. This element also replaces part numbers 316075103, AP2125026, PS438018, F83-455, and 316282600.

About This Replacement Part

The bake element is the workhorse of your oven, sitting on the bottom and generating the primary heat for baking. When it fails, you'll notice symptoms like no heat at all, uneven baking, or an oven that's running too hot because the element is shorting intermittently. The good news? It's one of the easiest repairs you can tackle yourself. Users consistently report installation times of 15-30 minutes with basic tools — just a screwdriver and pliers. One customer put it perfectly: "The oven bake element was easy to install. Fit perfectly. The part was shipped promptly as promised. My oven works like new again!" You'll unplug the range, remove two screws from the rear panel, disconnect the push-on wire connectors, and reverse the process with your new element.

Installation Overview

This is a straightforward repair that doesn't require professional help. After unplugging the stove and removing the oven racks, you'll access two mounting screws at the back of the oven cavity. Pull the old element forward to reach the wire connectors, swap them to the new element, and secure everything back in place. The entire job takes less than half an hour, and you'll need nothing more than a basic screwdriver set.
