How do I tell what model my Frigidaire stove is?
Your Frigidaire stove’s model number is printed on the serial plate; on the FCRC3012ABB electric range, you typically find it by pulling out the lower oven drawer or storage drawer and looking on the frame area below the oven door. Use that exact model number when ordering parts.
Where to look on a Frigidaire range
Check these common serial plate locations first:
- Pull out the lower oven drawer (or storage drawer) and look on the frame below the oven door opening
- Look along the oven frame behind the drawer front (use a flashlight)
- Check the oven door frame area (around the opening) if your model doesn’t use a lower drawer plate
- If the range was recently installed, confirm the plate was not covered by packaging film
For the official location guidance and the “Product record” section, use the FCRC3012ABB owner’s manual.
What to write down (and why)
Record both numbers exactly as shown:
- Model number (example format: FCRC3012ABB)
- Serial number
- Purchase date (helpful for service history)
Quick reference
| Item | What it’s used for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct diagrams and parts list | Copy it character-for-character |
| Serial number | Identifying production run details | Take a clear photo for backup |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges can look similar across model families, but parts like a bake element, oven temperature sensor, or surface element control switch can vary by model. Using the exact model number helps us match the right replacement part the first time.

What is the code F1 on a Frigidaire electric oven?
On the Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABB, error code F1 points to a keypad (touchpad) problem, most often a shorted or stuck key. Start by resetting power; if the code returns, the control panel components need attention per the FCRC3012ABB owner's manual.
What to do first (safe reset)
- Press OFF/CANCEL to clear the code.
- Turn power off to the range at the breaker for 5 minutes.
- Restore power and set the clock (the oven may not operate until time-of-day is set).
- Try BAKE or BROIL again.
- If F1 returns quickly, stop using the oven controls until the issue is corrected.
What usually causes F1
| Likely cause | What you may notice | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Stuck/shorted keypad | Beeping, F1 returns after reset | Inspect/replace keypad or control interface (model-specific) |
| Moisture or cleaner intrusion | Code appears after cleaning | Let panel dry fully; avoid spraying controls directly |
| Control fault (electronic oven control) | Random beeps, multiple codes | Diagnose wiring and control board connections |
Quick checks that help narrow it down
- If the panel beeps constantly, a key may be stuck.
- If F1 appears right after wiping the panel, moisture is a common trigger.
- If the oven also heats erratically, check the temperature sensing circuit; a failing sensor can contribute to control errors. The model uses an oven temperature sensor such as the oven temperature sensor 316490000 when replacement is needed.
Why it matters
A keypad short can make the oven start, stop, or beep unexpectedly. Resetting power can clear a temporary glitch, but a repeating F1 usually means the control is detecting an ongoing input fault that should be corrected to restore reliable operation.

How to reset a Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABB, turn the range off and reset power at the breaker for about 1 minute, then restore power. This clears many control glitches after a power surge or error and is the safest “reset” method to start with.
Reset steps we recommend
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- Set the oven to OFF/Cancel (if it is running).
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF.
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON.
- Re-set the clock and test Bake and a surface element.
If the display is still acting up
A reset will not fix a failed part, but it helps you narrow the cause.
- If the oven heats incorrectly after the reset, check the oven temperature sensor and wiring; a common replacement is the Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000.
- If the oven will not heat at all, inspect the bake element for visible damage (blistering, cracks); the common replacement is the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103.
- If a surface burner will not cycle or only works on one setting, the control switch is a frequent culprit (examples: Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 or Frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000).
Quick symptom guide
| What you see | What the reset helps with | What usually needs repair |
|---|---|---|
| Blank or frozen display | Control “lockup” after surge | Control board, wiring, or power supply issue |
| Oven not reaching set temp | Minor glitch | Temperature sensor or bake element |
| Burner stuck on high/low | Rarely | Surface element control switch |
Why it matters
Resetting at the breaker removes power from the electronic oven control so it can reboot cleanly. That prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps confirm whether you have a control glitch or a true component failure.
For model-specific operating details (including control functions and “Before You Call” checks), use the FCRC3012ABB owner’s manual.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABB, using the full model number is the most accurate way to find exact-fit replacement parts (like a bake element, surface switch, or oven sensor) and avoid ordering a similar-looking part that will not fit.
How to look up parts by model number (best practice)
- Use the complete model number exactly as shown on the appliance (for example: FCRC3012ABB).
- Find the model/serial label; many ranges place it near the storage drawer area (your guide explains typical locations). See the FCRC3012ABB owner's manual.
- Match the part by part name + part ID (this is the safest way to confirm you are selecting the correct item).
- Compare your symptom to the part category (bake, broil, surface element, control, wiring).
- If multiple versions exist, confirm finish and configuration (for example, black vs white control overlay).
Common parts customers look up for FCRC3012ABB
| What is not working? | Part type to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not bake or heats unevenly | Bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| Oven temperature seems off | Oven temperature sensor | Frigidaire Range Oven Temperature Sensor 316490000 |
| Surface burner will not regulate heat | Surface element control switch | Frigidaire Range Surface Element Control Switch 316436001 |
| Oven light is out | Oven light bulb | Frigidaire Range Oven Light Bulb 316538904 |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges often share similar-looking components across model families, but mounting points, wiring terminals, and control interfaces can differ. Searching by FCRC3012ABB helps ensure the replacement part is compatible with your exact range.
Tip: confirm the model number before ordering
- Double-check every character (letters and numbers)
- Use the appliance label, not the sales receipt
- Keep your serial number handy for service and support
