Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric range model FEF379ACE, using the full model number is the fastest way to match the correct replacement parts because it filters results to the exact version of your range (including wiring, controls, and surface elements).
How to find the model number on your range
We use the model number from the serial plate to ensure you get the right part the first time.
- Open the storage drawer or warmer drawer (or remove the lower panel on some versions)
- Look on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame
- Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter
- Use that full model number when searching parts
What you can match by model number (common examples)
Once you search by FEF379ACE, you can confidently narrow down parts such as:
- Surface element switches like range surface element control switch 316436001
- Oven temperature sensing parts like oven probe 316233903
- Heating components like Frigidaire range bake element 316202200 and Frigidaire range broil element 316203301
- Electrical connection parts like terminal blocks
- Oven light parts (bulb, socket, lens)
Quick checklist before you order
These steps prevent the most common “wrong part” issues.
- Confirm the model number is FEF379ACE (not a similar-looking variant)
- Match the part by name and ID, not only by appearance
- Compare your old part’s markings (if present) to the listing
- If the range was recently moved, recheck connections and mounting before assuming a part failed
| What you have | What it helps us match | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Model number (FEF379ACE) | Correct parts list | Avoids incompatible revisions |
| Serial and lot info | Production changes | Improves match accuracy |
| Symptom (won’t heat, burner stuck on, etc.) | Likely part group | Speeds troubleshooting |
Why it matters
Ranges often have multiple versions under one series; searching by the full model number helps ensure the correct fit and safe electrical compatibility.
For installation-related identification and safety details (including where to find the serial plate), use the installation guide.

What are the most common issues with FEF379ACE?
The most common problems we see on the Frigidaire FEF379ACE electric range are no-heat or uneven oven heating, surface burners not heating or not regulating, and oven temperature inaccuracy. The fastest way to narrow it down is to follow the checks in the installation guide and then test the heating and control components.
Most common symptoms and likely causes
- Oven not heating (bake): failed bake element, loose wiring, or a control issue.
- Oven not heating (broil): failed broil element or wiring problem.
- Oven temperature off: drifting sensor/probe, poor airflow, or heavy soil affecting heat circulation.
- Surface burner won’t heat or stays on high: worn surface element control switch.
- No power or intermittent power: overheated/loose power cord connection at the terminal block.
Model-matched parts that often fix these issues
| Issue | Part to check/replace | Example on this model |
|---|---|---|
| No/weak bake heat | Bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316202200 |
| No broil heat | Broil element | Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
| Temp too hot/cold | Sensor | Oven probe 316233903 |
| Burner won’t regulate | Infinite switch | Range surface element control switch 316436001 |
| Burning smell at cord area, dead range | Power connection | Terminal block 5304409888 |
Quick troubleshooting checklist (safe, practical)
- Cut power at the breaker before removing panels or touching wiring.
- Inspect the bake and broil elements for blisters, cracks, or burn spots.
- If a burner misbehaves, compare it to another burner using the same knob setting.
- Check for signs of heat damage at the terminal block area (discoloration, melted insulation).
- If you have a meter, confirm continuity on elements and verify wiring is tight.
Why it matters
These failures are common wear items on electric ranges; addressing them early prevents poor cooking results, repeated breaker trips, and heat damage to wiring.

What is the average lifespan of FEF379ACE?
A Frigidaire electric range like model FEF379ACE typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance (keeping elements clean, tightening power connections, and avoiding repeated overheating). For care and installation details that affect longevity, use the installation guide.
What affects lifespan the most
- Power supply health: a loose or overheated connection at the terminal block can shorten component life.
- Heating element wear: frequent high-heat baking/broiling accelerates element fatigue.
- Control and switch cycling: surface element switches and oven controls wear faster with heavy daily use.
- Ventilation and heat management: blocked vents and heavy spills can trap heat.
- Cleaning habits: harsh scraping and chemical misuse can damage finishes and seals.
Parts that commonly drive “end-of-life” repairs
If the range still heats but performance is inconsistent, these model-compatible parts are often involved:
| Symptom | Often related part | Example on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not heating evenly | Bake element or temperature sensing | Frigidaire range bake element 316202200, oven probe 316233903 |
| No broil heat | Broil element | Frigidaire range broil element 316203301 |
| Burner won’t regulate heat | Surface element control switch | Range surface element control switch 316436001 |
Why it matters
Knowing the typical 13 to 15 year lifespan helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your FEF379ACE is within that window, replacing a bake element, oven probe, or switch is often a practical way to restore reliable cooking.
