Tappan TEF351EWN electric range Parts

Tappan appliances are still supported through parts and service channels, but the Tappan brand changed ownership; Tappan was acquired by Electrolux in 1992. For your Tappan electric range model TEF351EWN, we can still help you identify parts and follow safe operating and service guidance in the TEF351EWN owner's manual.

What this means for parts and repairs today

Even though the brand ownership changed, your range is still a standard freestanding electric range design with common serviceable components.

• Use your model number TEF351EWN when ordering parts to ensure fit.
• Many repairs are still straightforward: bake element, broil element, surface element, and switches.
• Follow the manual’s safety guidance before any inspection or service.
• Avoid modifying the range (panels, wiring covers, leveling legs, anti-tip hardware).
• If you suspect a wiring or power-supply issue, use a qualified technician.

Common TEF351EWN parts customers replace

Here are a few examples of parts we commonly see replaced on electric ranges like TEF351EWN:

Symptom	Likely area	Example part for TEF351EWN
Oven will not heat or heats unevenly	Oven heating circuit	Range bake element 316075103
Oven temperature seems off	Temperature sensing	Range oven temperature sensor 316490000
Surface burner will not heat	Burner or control	Coil surface element, 8-in 316442300

Why it matters

Knowing the brand history helps set expectations: you may see Electrolux or Frigidaire-family labeling on some replacement parts, but the key to correct fit is matching the TEF351EWN model and the correct part ID or part number.

On a Tappan range like model TEF351EWN, the model number is typically on the oven frame around the door opening; check the front frame when you open the oven door, and also check the storage drawer area if your range has one. Confirm the exact label location in the TEF351EWN owner's manual.

Where to look first (fastest checks)

• Open the oven door and look along the front frame (left and right sides).
• Check the lower front frame near the storage drawer opening (if equipped).
• Look on the rim of the oven door itself (less common, but possible).
• Check behind the storage drawer (remove the drawer and look at the frame).
• If your range is installed in a tight cutout, use a flashlight and look along the front edges.

What the model/serial tag usually looks like

Most Tappan electric ranges use a small rating label that includes the model number and serial number.

What you see on the label	What it means	Why you need it
Model number (example: TEF351EWN)	Identifies the exact range design	Ensures parts diagrams and parts match
Serial number	Production identifier	Helps confirm correct revisions/variations
Electrical info (volts/amps)	Power requirements	Useful for safe troubleshooting

Why it matters

We use the model number to match the correct parts and instructions for your exact range. For example, the correct oven light bulb is a 40-watt appliance bulb on many versions of this platform, and the right replacement parts (like a appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904) depend on the model tag information.

Tips if the label is hard to read

• Wipe grease off gently with a damp cloth; do not soak the label.
• Take a phone photo with flash, then zoom in.
• Write down the full model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers).

Yes. We still see Tappan electric ranges like model TEF351EWN repaired regularly; most “no heat,” “won’t bake,” and “won’t broil” problems come down to common service parts (heating elements, temperature sensor, control, wiring) that technicians can diagnose and replace.

Best repair options for a Tappan range

• Local appliance service companies: Many independent shops still service Tappan and Frigidaire-built ranges.
• Sears Home Services: Offers in-home diagnosis and repair for ranges.
• DIY repair (when safe and appropriate): Many fixes are straightforward if you can safely shut off power and follow the correct procedure.

Common repairs we see on TEF351EWN

If your oven is not heating correctly, these are the most frequent culprits:

• Burned-out bake element
• Failed broil element
• Out-of-range oven temperature sensor
• Loose or overheated wiring at terminals
• Control issue (clock/control board)

Parts that often solve “oven won’t heat” symptoms

Symptom	Likely part	Example part for this model
No bake heat	Bake element	Range bake element 316075103
Temperature swings, under/overheats	Oven temperature sensor	Range oven temperature sensor 316490000
No broil heat	Broil element	Range broil element 316203200

Quick checks before you schedule service

1. Confirm the range has power (a tripped breaker can leave the cooktop working but reduce oven performance on some setups).
2. Try Bake and Broil separately; if one works and the other does not, that points to a specific element.
3. Look for visible damage: blistering, cracks, or holes on the element.
4. If the oven light is out, replace only with a 40-watt appliance bulb and follow the safe power-off steps in the TEF351EWN owner's manual.

Why it matters

Accurate diagnosis saves time and money. Replacing the correct part (like a bake element vs. a sensor) restores proper temperature control and helps prevent repeat failures from overheating connections.

Tappan is its own appliance brand; many Tappan ranges (including model TEF351EWN) were produced under the Electrolux family of brands, and your Use & Care literature is copyrighted by Electrolux Home Products. For day-to-day use, parts lookup, and service info, we treat it as a Tappan range model.

How to identify the brand and manufacturer on your range

Use these quick checks to confirm what you have in your kitchen:

• Check the model and serial tag (often on the oven frame behind the door, or on the drawer frame).
• Match the model number exactly: TEF351EWN.
• Review the documentation for the brand family and support contacts in the back pages.
• Compare control panel styling and cooktop type (coil elements vs. smooth top).
• Use the parts list for TEF351EWN to confirm compatible components.

For model-specific operating details and safety information, use the TEF351EWN owner's manual.

What “brand” means for parts and repairs

When you shop parts or troubleshoot, the most important identifier is the model number, not the logo on the door. Many Tappan ranges share design and parts lineage with other Electrolux-family products.

What you’re checking	What to use	Why it matters
Brand name on the appliance	Tappan	Helps with general product identification
Exact model number	TEF351EWN	Determines the correct diagrams and parts
Component type	Bake element, sensor, switch	Points to the right repair path

Common examples of “brand family” parts you may see

It’s normal to see parts listed with descriptions that reference other Electrolux-family lines. For example, these TEF351EWN-COMPATIBLE parts are commonly replaced during heating or temperature issues:

• Range bake element 316075103 (oven not heating well)
• Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 (temperature inaccurate)
• Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 (burner heat won’t adjust)

Why it matters

Using the correct TEF351EWN model identification helps you get the right bake element, surface element switch, oven temperature sensor, and wiring connections the first time, which reduces repeat repairs and heating performance problems.
