How do I tell what model my Frigidaire stove is?
Your Frigidaire electric range model number is printed on a rating label attached to the appliance. On model LFEF3016NWA, the label is typically found around the oven door frame area or on/behind the storage drawer area; once you find it, copy the full letter and number string exactly.
Where to look for the model number label
Check these common spots on Frigidaire freestanding electric ranges:
- Along the oven door frame (open the oven door and look around the front frame)
- On the front frame behind the storage drawer (pull the drawer out and look at the frame)
- On the side trim or lower front area near the drawer opening
- Occasionally on the rear panel (best checked only if the range is already pulled out)
A flashlight helps; the label print can be small.
What the model number looks like (and what to write down)
The model number is usually a mix of letters and numbers (for example, LFEF3016NWA). We recommend writing down:
- Model number (example: LFEF3016NWA)
- Serial number (useful for age and production run)
- Any revision or suffix characters shown on the label
Quick character check
| Common mix-up | What to watch for | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| 0 vs O | Zero vs letter O | Zeros are more common in numeric groups |
| 1 vs I | One vs letter I | Compare to other characters on the label |
| 5 vs S | Five vs letter S | Look for straight edges vs curves |
Why it matters
Using the exact model number ensures we match the correct Frigidaire parts and diagrams for your range, such as the correct surface element switch, oven temperature sensor, or bake element. It also helps you use the right wiring and clearance guidance in the LFEF3016NWA installation guide.

How to reset a Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire electric range model LFEF3016NWA, turn the range off and fully power-cycle it at the home breaker for 5 minutes, then restore power. This clears most control glitches after a power surge or a stuck key condition; re-set the clock afterward.
Quick reset steps (recommended)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
- Switch the range circuit OFF at the breaker panel.
- Wait 5 minutes (10 minutes if the display was frozen).
- Switch the breaker ON.
- Set the clock and test Bake and a surface element.
If the display shows an error code
Use the code to guide the next step (many Frigidaire range faults are sensor, keypad, or door-lock related).
- Write down the exact code (example: F30, F31, F90).
- Reset power using the steps above.
- If the code returns, troubleshoot by code.
A good next reference is Frigidaire self-cleaning range error codes.
When a “reset” does not fix heating problems
A reset will not repair a failed heating circuit. If the oven still will not heat or temperatures are way off after the power-cycle, these parts are common suspects:
- Oven temperature sensor (can cause wrong temps or error codes): Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
- Bake element (no bake heat): inspect for blisters or breaks
- Broil element (weak broil or no broil): inspect for visible damage
Common symptoms vs. likely cause
| Symptom | Most common cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Display frozen or beeping | Control glitch or stuck key | Breaker reset; check keypad for stuck buttons |
| Oven won’t heat at all | Failed bake element or wiring | Visual inspection; test element continuity |
| Oven temp inaccurate | Sensor out of range | Check sensor; replace if out of spec |
Why it matters
Resetting by cutting power at the breaker forces the electronic control to reboot. That often clears nuisance faults after outages, but persistent errors usually point to a component issue (sensor, element, door lock, or wiring) that needs diagnosis.
For electrical safety details during installation and power connections, follow the installation guide.

What are the parts of an electric oven?
An electric oven in a Frigidaire LFEF3016NWA range is built around heating components (bake and broil), temperature sensing, and user controls, plus basic interior hardware like racks and the oven light. These parts work together to heat evenly, regulate temperature, and keep operation safe.
Core electric oven parts (what they do)
- Bake element: primary heat source for baking and roasting (bottom of oven cavity on many models).
- Broil element: high-heat element for broiling (typically at the top of the oven cavity).
- Oven temperature sensor: tells the control how hot the oven is so it can cycle heat accurately.
- Oven control and overlay: the keypad/label area you press and read; it sends commands to the control.
- Oven rack(s): supports cookware at different cooking heights.
- Oven light and bulb: illuminates the cavity so you can check food without opening the door.
Parts you can replace on LFEF3016NWA (examples)
These are common service parts we see customers replace when the oven will not heat, heats unevenly, or the light is out:
| Symptom | Common part involved | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not bake or takes too long to heat | Bake element | Range bake element 316413800 |
| Broil does not heat | Broil element | Range broil element 316203301 |
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Temperature sensor | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven light is out | Light bulb | Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 |
| Need an additional rack | Oven rack | Frigidaire range oven rack 316496201 |
Why it matters
Knowing the main oven parts helps you troubleshoot faster. For example, a failed bake element often causes no-heat or weak-heat baking, while a bad temperature sensor can cause overbaking or underbaking even though the elements still glow.
Good to know before servicing
- Shut off power at the breaker before inspecting wiring, elements, or the control area.
- Confirm your model number from the serial plate location described in the LFEF3016NWA installation guide.
- If the range displays an error code, use Frigidaire self-cleaning range error codes to narrow the likely failed component.

Where can I find my Frigidaire oven part number?
On your Frigidaire LFEF3016NWA electric range, the part number is printed on the part itself; we use your range’s model and serial number (from the ID tag) to match the correct replacement part. The ID tag is typically visible when you open the oven door.
Where to look for the model and serial number tag
Check these common locations on freestanding electric ranges like the LFEF3016NWA:
- Along the oven frame or interior-side trim, visible with the oven door open
- On the left-side panel area of the oven frame, visible with the door open
- Around the lower front frame near the storage/broil drawer opening (if equipped)
- On the back panel of the range (less convenient, but common)
For diagrams and exact placement details for your model, use the LFEF3016NWA installation guide.
How to use that information to get the right part
Once you have the model and serial number, match parts by function and location, then confirm the part ID/part number.
- Identify the system: surface element, oven bake, broil, control panel, or wiring
- Compare the part description to what failed (switch, sensor, element, light)
- Verify fit by model number before ordering
- If multiple versions exist, use the serial number to narrow the correct revision
Examples of part numbers you might see on common repairs
| What you are replacing | What the number is used for | Example from this model’s parts |
|---|---|---|
| Surface burner control | Identifies the infinite switch style | Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316436001 |
| Oven temperature sensor | Identifies the sensor calibration/connector | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven light bulb | Identifies wattage and base type | Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 |
Why it matters
Using the correct model/serial prevents ordering a look-alike part that mounts differently, has a different terminal style, or is calibrated differently (common with an oven temperature sensor, bake element, or surface element control switch).
