How do I reset my Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire FEF336ECG electric range, turn the range off, then disconnect power for about 30 seconds and restore power. After a power interruption, the control display may flash and you will need to reset the clock and any oven settings using the steps in the owner's manual.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press CLEAR/OFF to stop cooking.
- Unplug the range or switch OFF the range breaker.
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock and re-enter any oven function settings.
If the whole range is not heating after the reset
If all burners and the oven are not heating, the issue is usually power supply related (not a single burner part). For an electric range, correct supply is typically 240 VAC across L1 and L2, and 120 VAC from each line to neutral.
What to check first
- Confirm the breaker is fully reset (OFF then ON).
- Check whether the display and oven light work (partial power can still light the clock).
- If the range was recently installed or moved, inspect the power cord connection area.
- Look for signs of overheating at the terminal block cover area.
| Symptom | Most likely cause | Best next step |
|---|---|---|
| Clock works but no heat anywhere | Missing L1 or L2 leg (only 120V present) | Check breaker and supply wiring |
| Some burners work, others do not | Failed element or control switch | Troubleshoot the specific burner circuit |
| Oven will not heat but burners do | Bake/broil circuit issue | Check bake element and temperature sensing |
Why it matters
A “reset” clears a stuck control state after a power glitch, but it will not fix a missing 240-volt supply. If the range is wired incorrectly, continued use can cause repeated no-heat symptoms and electrical connection problems.
Installation note (important)
When checking wiring at the rear access cover, follow the installation guide instructions carefully. The guide warns not to loosen factory-installed terminal block connections; loose connections can cause electrical failure.

What is the life expectancy of a Frigidaire electric range?
A Frigidaire electric range like model FEF336ECG typically lasts 10 to 15 years. Keeping the cooktop and oven clean, avoiding harsh cleaners, and fixing heating or control issues early helps you reach the upper end of that range.
Typical lifespan and what affects it
Most electric ranges fall into a predictable lifespan window; the difference between 10 and 15 years usually comes down to heat stress, cleaning habits, and how quickly worn parts are replaced.
- Heavy daily cooking and frequent high-heat baking shortens life
- Power supply issues (loose connections, overheating at the cord/terminal area) accelerate failures
- Harsh or abrasive cleaners can damage finishes and cooktop surfaces
- Ignoring temperature problems can overwork elements and controls
- Replacing common wear parts (elements, sensor, light parts) extends usable life
Maintenance that extends the life of FEF336ECG
Your owner's manual calls out important care guidance for the ceramic glass cooktop, including avoiding abrasive pads and harsh cleaners (chlorine bleach, ammonia, oven cleaners) that can scratch, etch, or discolor the surface.
- Clean spills after the cooktop cools; use non-abrasive pads/cloths
- Do not slide aluminum or copper-clad pans across the glass
- Never let aluminum cookware boil dry on the cooktop
- Keep the oven interior reasonably clean to prevent smoke and overheating
- Know how to shut off power at the breaker for safe troubleshooting
Parts that commonly determine “end of life” (and when to replace)
If the range is otherwise in good shape, replacing a few key parts often restores performance.
| Symptom | Common cause | Example part for FEF336ECG |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat or heats unevenly | Failed bake element | Range bake element 316075103 |
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Weak/failed sensor | Oven probe 316233903 |
| Oven light out | Burned bulb or bad socket | Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 or range light socket 316116400 |
Why it matters
A range that is cleaned correctly and repaired promptly usually avoids secondary damage (overheated wiring, stressed controls, warped seals). That is what most often turns a repairable Frigidaire electric range into a replacement decision.

Why is my Frigidaire electric range display not working?
If the display on your Frigidaire FEF336ECG electric range is blank or dead, the most common causes are a power supply problem (tripped breaker, blown fuse, loose cord connection) or a failed oven control/electronic control. Restore power first; then reset the clock per the owner's manual.
Quick checks (start here)
- Check your home breaker or fuse box; reset the breaker fully OFF then back ON.
- Confirm the range cord is firmly plugged into the outlet.
- If you had a power outage, turn all knobs to OFF; when power returns, reset the clock.
- If the cooktop works but the display stays blank, the control area likely is not getting proper power.
- If the display shows “12:00” flashing, the control has power but needs the time set.
Reset the control (safe first step)
- Turn all surface controls to OFF.
- Shut off power to the range at the breaker for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Restore power.
- Set the clock (the display often flashes “12:00” after power is interrupted).
Parts that commonly relate to a dead or erratic display
A blank display usually points to the electronic control or its power feed. If you find heat damage or loose connections at the power terminal area, address that first.
| Symptom | Most likely area | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Entire range dead (no heat, no display) | House power, cord, terminal connections | Verify breaker/fuses and power connection; inspect for overheating |
| Cooktop works but display/oven controls dead | Control circuit, wiring, control panel components | Inspect wiring/connectors; consider control-related parts |
| Display on but incorrect/unstable | Control overlay or control panel | Check for stuck keys, moisture, or worn overlay |
If you’re inspecting the power connection area, the range terminal block 5303935271 is the common connection point for the power cord and can fail from overheating.
Why it matters
The display is part of the oven control system; if it is not powered or has failed, the oven may not operate correctly (and after a power interruption, the range can resume operation once power returns if controls were left on).
