Frigidaire Smooth Top Burners Don't Work- How to Troubleshoot Different Kinds

[@madjidovich]

Very well explained, I'm having an issue with the same one you replaced the switch for, when I turn it on, I can't control the temperature, it turns on high temperature only and I can't reduce it.

[@lightfusegetaway]

Wow, great coverage of this issue. My Frigidaire range is working well but I'm saving this video for future reference!

[@cabot100]

Great video, thank you for walking us through this process.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Glad it was helpful!

@@bensappliancesandjunk Hi Ben, I have an 15 year old Amana fridge that isn't cooling well and since I'm a bit handy I'd like to work on it myself. Do you offer any live/personal technical help (free or fee-based)? I don't have social media but if you have an email that's better for communication, please provide. Thanks!

I don't own a Frigidaire glass top stove, but I enjoy your videos! Subscribed and liked.

[@ogee634]

Absolutely love the troubleshooting videos.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Glad you like them!

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Good multi meter tutorial.

[@4zooflorida]

Thank you! I have the glass top Frigidaire where the glass edge slides over the countertop. The knobs are in the front, but I assume it would look the same behind the knobs where the infinite switches are. The front left burner is out, so I am going to replace it, after going through the troubleshooting. Again, thank you!

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Yes should be identical

[@marionunez9516]

Awesome video😁👍love every second of it.

[@zekenzy6486]

Great Video. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice weekend

HVAC tech here with a question. Where would I go to get training on appliance repair. I really haven't found a program here in southern California, San Diego specifically. Please!!!

[@carguy4243]

I don't know if their quality has dropped, but my Frigidaire Smoothtop is 25 years old and no issues so far.

[@DavidReyes0224]

awesome video. would you take a look at the lg top load washer WT8400CW?

[@jackieakamamabird540]

Help ! Having trouble with my glass top range. My clock light has been going off. It’s been coming back on at some point, but then will go off again . When it does this my top eyes will still work when this happens , but can’t use the oven until those clock lights comes back on . What could be making my clock light go off , an come back on? It’s hours in between the clock light working an not working. Anyone have any ideas to what is happening here. Please help , thanksgiving is getting close. Can’t afford a service call at the moment.

[@derekcox6531]

Would this same procedure apply to an lg glass top stove?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

In general yes

[@californiadreamn6170]

I have a hotpoint electric stove. The handle bows out too far and blocks the side cabinet drawer. Can I replace it with a handle from another maker?

[@kevingrant5602]

At 11:26 in your video, there is a smaller white "box" above the two other larger white switches. There is a white and purple wire going to this. What is this? I broke a disconnect to this box and am trying to figure out (a) if I even need to have it connected and (b) if I need a special high heat disconnect on it. I could cut the wire and crimp a disconnect in it but worried it has to be a high heat disconnect. Thanks

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Doesn't need to be high heat

[@ppipowerclass]

Any update on the contacts for inside of a whirlpool electric dryer timer?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Not yet sadly

[@SVRockChalk]

What if the banner is on or off? The temperature settings do not work on. It is off or burned everything?

[@alcampbell1958]

My apartment stove heats up and I hear a click and it goes out. The element lights up and you feel heat but it doesn’t boil water as it needs too. Unsure if I replace the infinite switch would solve this.

[@vickslab4608]

GE stove very similar.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Yes definitely

[@Elsanta666]

My frigidaire stove, all burners turn on and off and i hear a solenoid click..is there a commun solenoid or why they all doing that

[@mbe102]

I'm having a similar issue with mine. Its either it shuts off way too early and doesn't heat up properly... or it just gets hot to the damn max and never shuts off... its messed up. Cheap garbage, sadly.

[@jamaal3502]

Probably the switch

[@winstonanderson3154]

Interesting to buy 3 burners

[@henrythoreau3681]

I remember in my grandparents day that they released a stove that didn't get hot. It was just a EM coil that heated up a coil on the pan itself. The pot was the only thing that got hot. It didn't catch on, but nothing useful ever does, does it.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Sounds similar to an induction coil... they do make those today

Hello can i have location or phonamber

Were you trying to be funny wearing latex gloves to protect you from 240 volts?

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Kind of yes

[@spinnymathingy3149]

Ben Ben Ben, what on earth are you trying to do, giving advice to people to repair something in this manner is so reckless and irresponsible. Don’t know where to start, ok , you suggest to use rubber gloves to work on live 💥 wiring, dude that’s just insane. Then there’s the concept that someone who’s not a trained professional can safely dismantle and reassemble such an appliance and guarantee the ongoing safety of themselves and their family members, the amperage available to a stove is huge and is relentless in causing injuries or death, in a flash so to speak. Then there’s the eventuality of risk of fire, yeh try arguing with your insurance company why they won’t cover replacing your burnt out house because fire investigation determines an unregistered person incorrectly wired up the stove. Sorry for the PSA but there needs to be an adult in the room

[@4zooflorida]

Sounds like you are from the government. The adults in the room can figure out how to replace a modular unit by watching the video.

[@spinnymathingy3149]

@@4zooflorida , aaah, no, I’m just well versed in insurance claims and fire investigation. There’s a really good reason that being an electrician is a 4 year apprenticeship, but whatever, I suppose you probably prescribe to home dentistry too.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

What's your suggestion to deal with live voltage to the element? It's easy to criticize but I don't see you offering a better solution at all..

[@hubert8237]

While I totally agree that this is not a diy project and an electrical fire hazard issue, you are completely wrong about homeowner insurance issues. Unless you commit arson, you will still receive coverage for doing careless or stupid things.
