How do I reset my Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire FEF336ECE electric range, we turn the range off and restore power by unplugging it (or switching the breaker off) for about 30 seconds, then powering it back on. After power returns, reset the clock and any oven settings per the FEF336ECE owner's manual.
Reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the range is plugged in: unplug it for 30 seconds, then plug it back in.
- If it is hardwired: switch the range breaker OFF for 30 seconds, then back ON.
- If the display is blank or flashing, set the clock again.
- Test bake and one surface element to confirm normal operation.
If the oven or burners still will not heat
A “reset” will not fix a power supply problem. If the range was recently installed or moved, focus on the incoming voltage and terminal connections (the installation instructions call out secure terminal block connections and warn not to loosen factory-installed nuts).
- Confirm the breaker is a 2-pole range breaker and fully reset (OFF then ON).
- If all burners and the oven are dead or weak, suspect a missing leg of 240V (common after wiring changes).
- If only the oven will not heat, a failed heating part is more likely.
- If only one surface element will not heat, the element or its control switch is more likely.
| Symptom | Most common cause | What we check next |
|---|---|---|
| Everything dead | Tripped breaker, loose power cord/terminal block | Verify breaker, inspect terminal block wiring per the FEF336ECE installation guide |
| Oven not heating, cooktop OK | Failed bake element or temperature sensing issue | Inspect/ohm test the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| One burner not heating | Bad surface element or control switch | Check the correct surface switch and element connections |
Why it matters
Resetting clears minor control glitches after a power interruption, but heating problems often trace back to 240V supply, wiring at the terminal block, or a failed bake element, broil element, or control component.

What is the life expectancy of a Frigidaire electric range?
A Frigidaire electric range like model FEF336ECE typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic care (keeping the cooktop clean, avoiding overheating, and fixing heating issues early). Proper installation and safe operation also help you reach that full lifespan; see the FEF336ECE owner's manual.
Typical lifespan and what affects it
Most electric ranges reach the 13 to 15 year range when these factors stay in good shape:
- Heating system health (bake element and broil element performance)
- Oven temperature accuracy (sensor/probe and control response)
- Electrical connections staying tight and unburned (power cord and terminal block area)
- Cooktop care (especially ceramic glass surfaces)
- Door seal and hinges closing evenly to hold heat
Signs your range is near end-of-life
If your FEF336ECE is approaching the typical age range, these symptoms usually show up more often:
- Oven takes much longer to preheat or will not reach set temperature
- Uneven baking or frequent temperature swings
- One or more surface elements stop heating consistently
- Control panel issues (clock resets, buttons not responding)
- Burning smell or visible heat damage near wiring connections
Repair vs. replace: a quick guide
| Situation | Usually makes sense to | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Single heating failure (bake or broil) | Repair | Common wear item; straightforward fix |
| Temperature is off but oven still heats | Repair | Often sensor/probe related |
| Multiple major issues at once | Consider replace | Costs can stack up quickly |
| Electrical connection overheating | Repair promptly | Prevents repeat failures and downtime |
Model-relevant examples of common wear parts include the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 and the oven probe 316233903.
Why it matters
Knowing the expected lifespan helps you plan: if your range is under about 10 years old, repairs are usually the best value; if it is 13 to 15 years old and showing multiple symptoms, replacement planning avoids surprise downtime.

Where can I find my Frigidaire oven part number?
On your Frigidaire FEF336ECE electric range, the part number you need is usually found by first locating the model and serial number label on the oven frame area; once you have that information, you can match the correct replacement part for your exact range configuration using the FEF336ECE owner's manual.
Common label locations to check
Look for a paper or metal tag in these spots (check with the door open):
- Along the oven frame or interior-side trim around the door opening
- On the left-side panel area near the front frame
- Behind the storage drawer area (if equipped)
- On the back of the range near the power cord/terminal block cover
- Under the cooktop edge (some configurations)
How to use the label to get the right part
Once you find the tag, write down the information exactly as shown.
- Model number: confirms the platform (for you, it is FEF336ECE)
- Serial number: identifies the production run (helps avoid mismatches)
- Revision or date code (if listed): helps confirm compatible versions
Quick match guide
| What you have | What it helps you do | Example for this range |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Select the correct parts list | FEF336ECE |
| Serial number | Confirm the correct variation | Varies by unit |
| Part name | Narrow down the component | Bake element, oven light bulb |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges often use different versions of the same-looking parts across production runs. Using the model and serial number prevents ordering a surface element switch, bake element, or control overlay that does not fit or wire up correctly.
