Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric wall oven model PLEB30T8ACA, looking up parts by the exact model number is the most reliable way to get compatible replacement parts because it matches the correct diagrams and part list for your specific oven configuration.
The owner documentation for this oven explains that the model and serial numbers are on the serial plate located on the front frame or on the side trim, visible when the oven door is open. Check the PLEB30T8ACA owner's manual for the exact location description.
- Open the oven door and look along the front frame
- Check the side trim area with the door open
- Write down the full model number exactly as shown (including all letters)
- Record the serial number too (helpful for correct revisions)
When you search by model number, we can show parts that fit PLEB30T8ACA, including common repair items like the oven light and heating components.
- Start with the model parts list and diagrams for PLEB30T8ACA
- Match the part name and reference number from the diagram to the part listing
- Confirm the part description before ordering
- If your symptom is “no heat” or “uneven baking,” check heating and sensing parts first
| Symptom | Common part to check | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven light out | Light bulb or socket | Bulb 316538904 |
| Oven not heating correctly | Temperature sensor | Sensor probe 316217002 |
| Long preheat or weak bake | Bake element | Oven bake element 318255006 |
Frigidaire wall ovens can have multiple versions that look similar. Using the exact model number (PLEB30T8ACA) helps prevent ordering a control board, bake element, or sensor that does not match your wiring, mounting, or temperature calibration.

What is the life expectancy of a Frigidaire oven?
A Frigidaire electric wall oven like model PLEB30T8ACA typically lasts 10 to 15 years. With consistent cleaning, correct use of self-clean, and prompt replacement of wear items (like a bake element or temperature sensor), many ovens reach 15 to 20 years of service.
- Heat stress from frequent high-temperature baking, broiling, and self-clean cycles
- Heavy spillovers left to bake on repeatedly (creates odor, smoke, and extra strain during cleaning)
- Electrical connection quality at the power supply (loose or overheated connections can damage wiring)
- Repeated overheating from a failing temperature sensor or control issue
- Door seal and door alignment problems that cause heat loss and longer run times
Your PLEB30T8ACA owner's manual emphasizes regular cleaning and safe self-clean practices. Use these habits to reduce major repairs:
- Wipe up heavy spillovers before running self-clean to reduce smoke and odor
- Remove foil and avoid lining the oven interior with aluminum foil (it can damage the interior and affect heat distribution)
- Let the oven cool before cleaning; keep controls OFF while cleaning
- Keep racks sliding smoothly after self-clean by lightly treating rack sides (per manual guidance)
- Replace failed heating or sensing parts quickly so the oven does not overwork
| Symptom | Most common cause | Typical fix |
|---|---|---|
| Oven heats unevenly or takes too long to preheat | Weak bake element or sensor drift | Replace bake element or sensor |
| Temperature swings (too hot or too cool) | Temperature sensor out of range | Replace sensor |
| Display issues or random shutoffs | Control board or wiring connection problem | Inspect wiring, replace control if needed |
| Light not working | Burned-out bulb or socket issue | Replace bulb or receptacle |
If you are troubleshooting heating accuracy, the sensor probe 316217002 is a common wear item to check on this model.
Most wall oven failures are gradual. Catching a weak bake element, drifting sensor, or heat-leaking door early helps your Frigidaire oven maintain stable temperatures, reduces long preheat times, and prevents bigger electrical or control problems.

How to tell Frigidaire oven model?
To identify your Frigidaire oven model number, check the appliance ID plate on the oven frame or side trim that’s visible when the door is open. On a Frigidaire wall oven like model PLEB30T8ACA, this is the fastest way to match the correct parts list and the correct owner's manual.
Check these common spots first (in order):
- Left or right interior side trim (visible with the door open)
- Front frame behind the door opening (around the gasket area)
- Upper control panel area (some wall ovens place the label near the vented trim)
- Lower frame area near the hinge zone (use a flashlight)
- Paperwork that came with the oven (manual packet or installation notes)
Record the full ID information exactly as shown:
- Model number (example: PLEB30T8ACA)
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Brand (Frigidaire)
- Any revision or suffix characters after the model number
| ID item | Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures the parts diagram matches your exact wall oven configuration |
| Serial number | Helps narrow down version changes within the same model |
| Brand | Prevents cross-brand lookalike part mix-ups |
Frigidaire wall ovens can use different control boards, temperature sensors, racks, or light components across similar-looking models. Using the exact model number helps us point you to the right replacement part, such as the bulb 316538904 for the oven light, and avoids ordering a part that will not fit.
- Wipe grease and dust off the plate gently with a damp cloth
- Use your phone camera and zoom in for clearer characters
- Copy letters and numbers carefully (for example, B vs 8, O vs 0)
If you’re ordering parts after you find the model number, start with the parts list for PLEB30T8ACA, or search by model on Sears PartsDirect.

What does F30 mean on a Frigidaire stove?
On a Frigidaire electric oven like model PLEB30T8ACA, an F30 code points to a problem in the oven temperature sensor circuit. In most cases, the sensor probe is unplugged, the wiring is damaged, or the sensor itself has failed, so the control cannot read oven temperature correctly.
- Press CANCEL to stop beeping and clear the display.
- Let the oven cool completely if it was heating.
- Turn off power at the breaker for 1 minute, then restore power (this resets the control).
- If the code returns, plan to inspect the sensor circuit.
- Use the troubleshooting steps in the PLEB30T8ACA owner's manual.
- Loose or corroded connector at the sensor probe
- Pinched, burned, or broken sensor wiring (often near the rear panel)
- Failed oven temperature sensor probe
- Less common: a problem on the electronic oven control
If the sensor circuit checks out and the code persists, these are the most relevant parts for this symptom:
| Symptom | Most likely part | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| F30 returns quickly after reset | Sensor probe 316217002 | Temperature feedback to the control |
| F30 plus erratic temps or random beeping | Range oven control board 318022001 | Interprets sensor signal and runs heating |
When the control cannot trust the temperature reading, it may shut heating down or heat unpredictably. Fixing the sensor circuit restores accurate baking, broiling, and safe temperature regulation.
