Does Frigidaire make a gas wall oven?
Yes. Frigidaire makes gas wall ovens, and the Frigidaire FGB24S5DCA is a gas wall oven model. Gas wall ovens still require a properly grounded electrical connection for ignition and controls, so installation needs both gas and electric connections.
How to confirm you have a gas wall oven
We recommend checking these items on your Frigidaire FGB24S5DCA:
- Look for a gas supply line and a manual gas shutoff valve at the cabinet cutout
- Check the rating plate for fuel type and gas pressure the oven was set for at the factory
- Verify the oven plugs into a grounded 3-prong receptacle (gas models still use electricity)
- Confirm the oven ignites (you should hear/see ignition when baking or broiling)
- Review the fuel and grounding requirements in the installation guide
What “gas wall oven” means for hookups
A gas wall oven uses gas for the burner flame, but it relies on electricity for safe operation.
| Connection | What it does | What to look for |
|---|---|---|
| Gas supply | Feeds the bake and broil burners | Shutoff valve open; no leaks at fittings |
| Electrical (grounded) | Powers ignition and controls | 3-prong grounded outlet; do not remove ground prong |
Common related parts when ignition or heating is the concern
If your gas wall oven has trouble lighting or maintaining heat, these model-matched parts are commonly involved:
- Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066 (ignites the gas at the burner)
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (helps regulate oven temperature)
- Wall oven gas valve 5303210798 (controls gas flow to the burner)
Why it matters
Knowing whether your oven is gas helps you troubleshoot correctly and install safely. For example, gas leaks must be checked with a liquid leak detector (not a flame), and the oven must be grounded to reduce shock risk.

Why is my wall oven not turning on?
If your Frigidaire FGB24S5DCA gas wall oven will not turn on, the most common causes are a tripped house circuit breaker or blown fuse, the controls not being set correctly, or the oven not getting gas (shut-off valve closed). Use the checks in the FGB24S5DCA owner’s manual to confirm normal operation and safe power-failure handling.
Quick checks (start here)
- Confirm the wall oven breaker is fully ON (or replace the house fuse if blown).
- If power just came back on, turn the oven control to OFF, then set it again (the manual warns the oven can resume operation after power returns).
- Make sure the gas supply shut-off valve is open.
- Verify the oven is not connected using an extension cord or adapter; it needs a properly grounded outlet.
- If the control panel is on but there is no heat, watch for the igniter glow when you call for bake.
What to look for based on symptoms
| What you see | Most likely cause | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| No lights, no response | Power supply issue (breaker, fuse, cord/outlet) | Reset breaker fully; verify outlet power |
| Display works, no heat, no ignition | Gas shut-off closed or ignition problem | Open shut-off; check for igniter glow |
| Igniter glows but burner never lights | Weak igniter or gas valve issue | Inspect/replace the igniter first |
| Breaker trips again after reset | Shorted wiring/component | Stop resetting; schedule service |
Parts that commonly fix “won’t heat” (when power is OK)
If the oven has power but will not ignite or heat, these model-compatible parts are common fixes:
- Range oven burner igniter 5303935066 (if the igniter does not glow, or glows but will not light the burner)
- Wall oven gas valve 5303210798 (if gas is not being released when it should)
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316217002 (if temperature sensing is erratic and heat cycles incorrectly)
Why it matters
A gas wall oven relies on both electric power (controls and igniter) and gas supply (shut-off valve and valve operation). A simple breaker or shut-off issue can look like a major failure, so checking power and gas first prevents unnecessary parts replacement.

How to reset a Frigidaire wall oven?
Resetting a Frigidaire FGB24S5DCA gas wall oven is done by removing power long enough for the control to reboot, then restoring power and resetting the clock. This clears many temporary control glitches; if an error returns right away, troubleshooting the related circuit is the next step.
Safe reset steps (power reset)
- Turn the oven controls to OFF.
- Switch OFF the circuit breaker (or unplug the oven if accessible).
- Wait at least 1 minute.
- Restore power.
- Set the clock and timer again (the display may flash 12:00 after power is interrupted); see the FGB24S5DCA owner's manual.
If the oven still will not operate after a reset
A reset will not fix a loss of gas supply, a tripped breaker that will not stay set, or a failed ignition or temperature-sensing component.
- Confirm the gas shut-off valve is open.
- Check the house fuse/circuit breaker and make sure it is fully engaged.
- If the breaker trips again immediately, stop and have the circuit checked.
- If the oven will not heat or lights but will not ignite, inspect common ignition-related parts such as the Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066.
Quick symptom guide
| What you see after reset | Most common cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Display resets, clock flashes | Normal after power loss | Set clock in the manual |
| No heat, no ignition | Gas supply off or ignition issue | Verify gas valve; check igniter |
| Breaker trips again | Electrical short/overload | Stop and have wiring/circuit checked |
| Oven light out only | Bulb or socket issue | Replace bulb; check socket |
Why it matters
A proper power reset is the fastest way to clear a “stuck” control state without replacing parts. If the same failure repeats immediately after power is restored, that points to a real issue (gas supply, wiring, igniter, sensor, or control) that needs targeted troubleshooting.

How to replace thermostat in Frigidaire wall oven?
On the Frigidaire FGB24S5DCA gas wall oven, “thermostat” usually refers to the oven temperature sensor that tells the control how hot the oven is. Replacement is a straightforward remove-and-replace job once you safely shut off power and access the sensor inside the oven cavity.
What part is typically replaced
For this model, the temperature-measuring part is the oven temperature sensor; use the correct model-matched part such as the range oven temperature sensor 316217002.
Replacement steps (typical for FGB24S5DCA)
- Turn off power at the breaker; confirm the oven is off and cool.
- Remove oven racks for working room.
- Locate the sensor probe inside the oven cavity (usually on the rear wall).
- Remove the mounting screws holding the sensor to the oven liner.
- Gently pull the sensor forward to access the connector; disconnect the plug.
- Connect the new sensor, tuck wiring back safely, and reinstall screws.
- Restore power and test bake temperature.
Tools and time
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Phillips screwdriver or nut driver | Remove sensor mounting screws |
| Work gloves | Protect hands from sharp edges |
| Flashlight | See the connector and routing |
| Phone/camera | Record wire routing before removal |
If you meant a safety thermostat or high-limit device
Some ovens use additional safety cutoffs. On FGB24S5DCA, confirm the exact component and access method using the wiring diagram and exploded views in the FGB24S5DCA owner’s manual before ordering parts or disassembling panels.
Why it matters
A failing temperature sensor causes inaccurate temperatures, long preheat times, or overheating. Replacing the correct sensing part restores stable temperature control and more consistent baking results.
