Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire FGF316DSA gas range, looking up parts by the exact model number is the most reliable way to get compatible replacement parts because it matches the correct diagrams, burner ratings, and factory fuel setup tied to your unit’s serial plate.
On the FGF316DSA, the serial plate (model and serial information) is located under the lift-up cooktop. Use the full model number exactly as shown when searching parts.
- Lift the cooktop and locate the serial plate
- Write down the model number, serial number, and lot number/letter
- Use that exact model number when selecting parts and diagrams
- If the model tag is hard to read, take a clear photo before cleaning
The serial plate does more than identify the model. It also lists key setup details that affect part selection and performance.
| Serial plate detail | Why it matters when ordering parts |
|---|---|
| Model number (FGF316DSA) | Ensures the part fits your exact range design |
| Serial number | Helps confirm production variation when applicable |
| Lot number/letter | Useful for matching correct revisions |
| Fuel type and pressure setting | Helps avoid mismatched gas components |
- Match the model number first, then confirm the part by name and diagram location
- Compare the old part to the listing (shape, terminals, mounting points)
- For ignition or heating issues, check common wear parts first, such as the Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066
- Keep your documentation handy for feature and access guidance in the FGF316DSA owner’s manual
Gas ranges often have model-to-model differences in burner systems, ignition style, and gas regulation. Using the exact FGF316DSA model number reduces wrong-part returns and helps restore safe, consistent burner and oven performance.

How do I tell what model my Frigidaire stove is?
For your Frigidaire FGF316DSA gas range, the model and serial number are printed on the serial plate under the lift-up cooktop. Use that exact model number when ordering parts or checking specifications in the FGF316DSA owner's manual.
On model FGF316DSA, the installation instructions specify the serial plate location under the lift-up cooktop.
- Turn all burner knobs to OFF and let the cooktop cool completely
- Lift the cooktop (if your design allows it) and look for a serial plate or rating plate
- Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown
- Use a flashlight; the plate is often metallic and can be hard to read at an angle
- Copy characters carefully (for example, 0 vs O, 1 vs I)
The serial plate typically includes more than just the model number. Recording everything helps ensure you get the right Frigidaire parts and settings.
| Plate item | What it’s used for | Example of when you need it |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Correct part fit and diagrams | Ordering an igniter or knob for FGF316DSA |
| Serial number | Production details | Matching service information |
| Lot number/letter | Build variation tracking | Confirming the correct revision of a part |
| Fuel and pressure info | Gas setup reference | Verifying regulator and gas supply setup |
Frigidaire ranges can look similar across model families, but parts like an oven igniter, pressure regulator, or control knob can vary by model and production run. Using the exact model number from the serial plate prevents wrong-part returns and installation delays.

How to fix F31 on a Frigidaire oven?
On the Frigidaire FGF316DSA gas range, the F31 error code indicates the oven control is seeing a problem in the oven temperature sensor circuit (sensor resistance out of range, open, short, or a wiring/connection issue). We fix it by safely resetting power, then testing the sensor and its wiring.
- Turn off power at the breaker or unplug the range before accessing wiring.
- Let the oven and surrounding metal cool completely.
- Pull the range forward carefully to avoid stressing the gas line.
- Use a multimeter rated for appliance work.
- If you smell gas, stop and have the gas supply checked by a qualified technician.
- Reset the control: Disconnect power for 60 seconds, restore power, and see if F31 returns.
- Check the sensor connection: Locate the oven temperature sensor connector and reseat it firmly.
- Inspect the harness: Look for melted insulation, pinched wires, or loose terminals near hot surfaces.
- Test the oven temperature sensor (RTD):
- Unplug the range.
- Disconnect the sensor from the harness.
- Measure resistance across the sensor pins.
| Temperature | Expected resistance |
|---|---|
| Room temp (70°F) | 1050 to 1100 Ω |
| 350°F | about 1650 Ω |
- Open circuit (OL/infinite): sensor or connection is open; replace the sensor or repair the connector.
- Very low resistance (near 0 Ω): shorted sensor or shorted wiring; repair wiring or replace sensor.
- Normal resistance but F31 persists: wiring/connectors are the next most common cause; if wiring is solid, the electronic oven control is the remaining suspect.
- Use the FGF316DSA owner’s manual for control operation, error-related checks, and “Before You Call” guidance.
The control uses the temperature sensor signal to regulate bake and broil. When it cannot read that signal correctly, it triggers F31 to prevent unsafe heating and inaccurate oven temperatures.

How to replace igniter on Frigidaire gas range?
To replace the oven igniter on your Frigidaire FGF316DSA gas range, we shut off power and gas, access the bake burner, remove the old igniter from the burner tube, then mount the new igniter and restore connections so the burner lights normally.
- Unplug the range or switch off the circuit breaker; the igniter circuit is live when the oven calls for heat.
- Shut off the gas supply valve.
- Let the oven cool completely.
- Avoid pulling on igniter wires; handle connectors, not the wire insulation.
- If you need to move the range, disconnect gas and electrical supply and check gas connections for leaks after reinstalling.
- Remove oven racks.
- Remove the oven bottom panel (and flame spreader if equipped) to expose the bake burner tube.
- Disconnect the igniter wire connector.
- Remove the mounting screws holding the igniter to the burner tube.
- Install the new igniter in the same position on the burner tube and tighten the mounting screws.
- Reconnect the wire connector, reinstall panels and racks, then restore gas and power.
- Test bake: the igniter should glow and the burner should light shortly after.
For diagrams, access panels, and model-specific disassembly notes, use the FGF316DSA manual.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter glows, burner lights | Normal operation | Let it cycle a few times |
| No glow at all | No power to igniter or open igniter | Recheck connector, then test circuit |
| Slow ignition | Weak igniter or restricted burner | Inspect burner ports and wiring |
- Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066 (most common)
- Gas supply and shutoff valve position
- Oven gas valve (if igniter tests good but gas never opens)
A weak or failed igniter is the most common reason a gas oven will not heat; the oven safety system typically will not open the gas valve until the igniter draws the correct current.
