How do I reset my Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire FEF368GSA electric range, turn the range off and disconnect power for about 30 seconds, then restore power and reset the clock. This clears many control glitches after a power interruption or a stalled keypad.
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Unplug the range, or switch OFF the range breaker.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock and any cooking functions using the FEF368GSA owner's manual.
A “reset” will not fix a missing power leg. Electric ranges need correct supply voltage; if the range was recently installed or moved, a wiring or terminal block connection issue is common.
- Check that the breaker is fully reset (turn it OFF, then ON).
- If you have a cord-and-plug setup, confirm the plug is fully seated.
- If hardwired, follow the wiring and terminal block guidance in the FEF368GSA installation guide.
- If all burners and the oven are dead, suspect a supply problem (breaker, cord, terminal block).
- If the oven is dead but burners work, suspect a failed bake circuit component such as the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 or a sensor issue.
| What you see | Most likely cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Display glitches, buttons lag | Control needs reboot | Power reset, then set clock |
| Everything dead (no heat) | Power supply issue | Check breaker, cord, terminal block |
| Oven heats poorly or not at all | Bake element or sensor problem | Inspect element, test sensor |
| Error code appears | Control detected a fault | Use Frigidaire self-cleaning range error codes |
Resetting power is a safe first step because it clears temporary electronic faults. If heat is missing after a reset, focusing on power supply and key heating parts prevents repeated shutdowns and protects the control and wiring.

What are the most common issues with FEF368GSA?
The most common problems we see with the Frigidaire FEF368GSA electric range are uneven oven heating, a surface burner that will not heat or overheats, and control or indicator issues. These symptoms usually trace to a failed heating element, temperature sensing problem, or a worn surface element switch.
- Oven not heating or takes too long to bake: failed range bake element 316075103
- Broil not working: failed Frigidaire range broil element 316203200
- Oven temperature is off (too hot or too cool): failing Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
- One surface burner stuck on high or will not regulate: bad Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 (or the small-burner version)
- Oven light not working: burned-out range oven light bulb 316538904 or a bad socket
- Self-clean door will not lock or unlock: failed door lock motor assembly
- Confirm the range has full power (a range typically needs 240 volts; a tripped breaker can cause partial heat).
- For oven heat issues, look for visible damage on the bake or broil element (blisters, cracks, burn spots).
- If a surface element overheats, test the element on a different position (if interchangeable) to separate an element issue from a switch issue.
- If temperatures are consistently off, run a simple bake test with an oven thermometer and compare results.
- Use the wiring diagram and troubleshooting steps in the FEF368GSA owner's manual to match symptoms to the correct circuit.
| Symptom | Most likely part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| No bake heat | Bake element | Often still broils but will not bake |
| No broil heat | Broil element | May still bake normally |
| Inaccurate temps | Oven temperature sensor | Can cause underbaking or overbaking |
| Burner stuck high | Surface element control switch | Switch contacts can weld closed |
Continuing to use an electric range with overheating burners, damaged elements, or wiring issues can lead to poor cooking results and can damage the control components. Correct diagnosis helps you replace the right Frigidaire part the first time.

Why is my Frigidaire oven beeping and flashing F1?
On the Frigidaire FEF368GSA electric range, an F1 code with beeping points to an electronic control fault, most commonly a shorted keypad (touchpad) or a problem in the oven control. First, stop the alarm by pressing CLEAR/OFF, then reset power for about 30 seconds.
- Press CLEAR/OFF to stop the beeping and clear the display.
- Turn power off at the breaker (or unplug the range) for 30 seconds, then restore power.
- If F1 returns, write down when it happens (immediately at power-up, during bake, during self-clean).
- If the oven was hot, let it cool completely and try again.
- If the code keeps coming back, plan on troubleshooting the keypad/control circuit.
F1 is typically triggered when the control senses an invalid key signal or internal control failure.
| Symptom pattern | Most likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| F1 appears right after restoring power | Stuck/shorted keypad signal | Inspect the control panel area for moisture, stuck keys, or damage |
| F1 happens while pressing buttons | Failing keypad | Try different keys; if any key “acts pressed,” the keypad is the suspect |
| F1 happens during baking or randomly | Oven control issue or heat-related failure | Check wiring connections at the control; look for loose or overheated terminals |
When the control thinks a key is stuck, it can keep beeping and may disable normal oven operation. Clearing the alarm and doing a quick reset gets you back to a safe baseline and helps confirm whether the problem is temporary (power glitch) or a failing control/keypad.
- Use the control and reset steps shown in the FEF368GSA owner’s manual.
- If your range displays other fault codes, use our Frigidaire self-cleaning range error codes reference to identify the code and the next checks.
