Frigidaire FGEH3047VFA free standing electric range Parts

On the Frigidaire FGEH3047VFA electric range, the oven temperature sensor is mounted inside the oven cavity on the rear wall (upper back area). You can spot it as a thin metal probe that passes through the back liner and connects to wiring behind the range.

How to find it quickly

• Turn the oven light on and look at the back wall of the oven cavity.
• Look for a small probe (usually held by 2 screws) near the upper center area.
• The sensor tip is inside the oven; the wire harness connection is behind the rear panel.
• If you see temperature problems (overheating or underheating), the sensor is one of the first parts we check.
• Use the wiring diagram and component locations in the FGEH3047VFA owner's manual to confirm the exact placement for your configuration.

Safe access steps (basic)

1. Shut off power at the breaker (ranges are typically 240V).
2. Open the oven door and remove racks for working space.
3. Remove the sensor mounting screws from the rear wall.
4. Gently pull the sensor forward a few inches to access the connector.
5. Disconnect the plug; avoid pulling on the wires.

What part is it for this model?

For FGEH3047VFA, the correct replacement is the range oven temperature sensor 316490000.

Symptom	Common sensor-related clue	What we check next
Oven temp too hot/too cool	Baking inconsistent across multiple recipes	Sensor resistance and connector fit
Long preheat times	Preheat never seems to finish normally	Sensor, bake element, control
Error codes related to oven temp	Temp sensing circuit issue	Sensor harness and control board

Why it matters

The sensor tells the control board the actual oven temperature. If it reads wrong or has a loose connection, the range can cycle heat incorrectly, causing uneven baking, poor broiling results, or temperature-related fault codes.

Your Frigidaire stove’s model number is printed on the serial plate; on model FGEH3047VFA, it’s typically on the lower right front frame near the storage or warmer drawer, and sometimes under the cooktop. Use the model number when ordering parts or service.

Where to look on a Frigidaire range

Check these common serial plate locations (in order):

• Open the storage drawer or warmer drawer and look at the right-hand oven front frame.
• Look along the lower right front frame of the range.
• If you do not see it there, check under the cooktop (some models place the plate there).
• Use a flashlight; the plate is often low and partially shadowed.
• Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown.

For the exact location callouts for your unit, use the FGEH3047VFA installation guide.

What the model number looks like (and what to record)

The model number is a mix of letters and numbers. Record it exactly as printed.

What to capture	Example format	Why we need it
Model number	FGEH3047VFA	Ensures correct parts fit
Serial number	Letters and numbers	Helps match production run
Lot number/letter (if shown)	Single letter/number	Helps narrow variations

Why it matters

Frigidaire ranges can have small design changes across production runs. Using the correct model and serial information helps us match the right bake element, control board, or sensor the first time.

Quick tip for parts ordering

Once you have the model number, keep it handy and compare it to the model shown in your FGEH3047VFA owner’s manual before purchasing parts.

Yes. Looking up parts by model number is the most accurate way to get compatible replacement parts for your Frigidaire range; for this model, use FGEH3047VFA exactly as shown on the serial plate and cross-check details in the FGEH3047VFA owner's manual.

Where to find the model number on this range

Frigidaire notes the serial plate location for many ranges is behind the lower oven drawer or storage drawer. For FGEH3047VFA, check these common spots:

• Open the lower oven drawer or storage drawer and look for the serial plate label
• Check the frame area around the drawer opening
• Write down the full model number and serial number exactly as printed
• Avoid using partial model families; one missing character can change the parts list

How to use the model number to choose the right part

Once you have FGEH3047VFA, match the part by name and function, then confirm it fits your symptom.

• Use the model number to filter the correct parts diagram for the cooktop and oven
• Match the failed function to the part category (bake, broil, surface element, controls)
• Compare the part description to what you see on the appliance
• If you are troubleshooting heating accuracy, start with the sensor and wiring checks

Common examples for FGEH3047VFA

Symptom	Part to check first	What it affects
Oven temperature seems off	Range oven temperature sensor 316490000	Oven temperature feedback to the control
Oven light out	Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904	Interior oven lighting
Broil not heating	Frigidaire range broil element 316203301	Upper heating element for broiling
Bake not heating	Frigidaire range bake element 316505500	Lower heating element for baking

Why it matters

Using the exact model number prevents ordering look-alike parts that mount differently, use different connectors, or have different wattage ratings. That saves time, avoids returns, and gets your Frigidaire range back to safe, consistent cooking performance faster.
