How to reset a Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire FEF336BCG electric range, we recommend doing a full power reset: turn the range off, cut power at the breaker (or unplug it), wait 5 to 10 minutes, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and restores normal operation.
Quick reset steps (safe and effective)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is on, press Cancel/Off (if your control has it).
- Unplug the range or switch both range breakers OFF (240V ranges typically use a 2-pole breaker).
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes.
- Restore power, then set the clock and test Bake.
If the display comes back but the oven still will not heat
A reset fixes temporary control lockups; it will not fix a failed heating circuit. Check these common causes next:
- Failed bake element (look for blistering, cracks, or a spot that looks burned)
- Temperature sensor/probe out of range
- Control or wiring issue feeding the element
If you suspect a heating failure, the most common repair is replacing the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103.
What a reset can and cannot fix
| Symptom | Reset helps? | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| Blank or frozen display | Often | House power, breaker, terminal connections |
| Random beeping or odd behavior after outage | Often | Run reset, then test Bake/Broil |
| Oven not heating but display works | Sometimes | Bake element, sensor, wiring |
| Surface element not heating | Sometimes | Element, infinite switch |
For surface-element issues, our radiant surface element on range not working video walks through the most common checks.
Why it matters
A proper power reset clears the electronic control’s temporary faults after a power surge or glitch. If heat is still missing afterward, focusing on the bake element, sensor, and control circuit prevents repeated shutdowns and uneven cooking.

Why is my Frigidaire electric range display not working?
On a Frigidaire FEF336BCG electric range, a dead or blank display is usually caused by a power supply problem (tripped breaker, loose cord/terminal connection) or a failed oven control (clock/timer) circuit. Start by confirming the range is getting a full 240 volts, then inspect wiring and control components.
Quick checks we recommend first
- Reset the range power: turn the double breaker OFF for 1 minute, then ON.
- Confirm the outlet and cord are secure; a loose connection can kill the display while some heating still works.
- Check for a partial power loss: cooktop may heat oddly, oven may not heat, or the display may be blank.
- If the display flickers or comes and goes, suspect a loose connection or failing control.
- If the display is blank but the oven light works, the control circuit can still be at fault.
What to inspect (in safe order)
- Breaker and supply voltage: Electric ranges need 240V (two hot legs). If one leg is out, the display can go dark.
- Terminal block and power cord connections: Look for heat damage, melted insulation, or loose screws at the range terminal block 5303935238.
- Control panel wiring: Reseat any harness connectors going to the clock/control area.
- Oven control components: If power and wiring are good, the electronic control or its overlay can be the failure point.
Symptoms and most likely causes
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Display totally blank | Tripped breaker, lost 120V leg, loose terminal block | Reset breaker; inspect terminal block |
| Display intermittent | Loose connection, failing control | Inspect wiring; consider control replacement |
| Display works but buttons unreadable | Worn overlay | Consider range oven control overlay 316220729 |
| Hot surface light stuck on (some models) | Indicator circuit issue | Use quick tips and fixes range hot surface light troubleshooting video |
Why it matters
A blank display is often the first sign of a failing power connection. Fixing a loose terminal block or damaged wiring early helps prevent overheating at the cord connection and reduces the chance of additional control damage.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. Looking up parts by model number is the most accurate way to get compatible replacement parts for your Frigidaire electric range model FEF336BCG, because it filters results to the exact version of your range and its correct part list.
How to find the model number on the range
For Frigidaire ranges, the model number is printed on a data tag (rating plate). Common locations include:
- Inside the oven door frame (around the door opening)
- On the storage drawer frame or drawer jamb
- Under the cooktop lip (on some designs)
- On the back panel of the range
How to use the model number to choose the right part
Once you have FEF336BCG, match the symptom to the correct part category, then confirm the part ID before ordering.
- If the oven will not bake or heats unevenly, check the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
- If broil does not work, compare the broil circuit parts and consider the Frigidaire range broil element 316203200
- If a surface burner will not regulate heat, look at the range surface element control switch 316436001
- If the oven light is out, start with the range oven light bulb 316538904
- If temperatures are off by a lot, the sensor is a common cause; see the oven probe 316233903
Quick compatibility checklist (before you order)
Use this checklist to avoid returns and delays:
- Model number matches exactly: FEF336BCG
- Part ID matches the listing (example: 316075103)
- Part name matches the function (bake element vs broil element vs control switch)
- Symptom matches the part’s job (heat, control, indicator light, lighting)
- You are replacing the correct location (small vs large surface element switch)
Common “look-up” mistakes (and how to avoid them)
| Mistake | What to do instead |
|---|---|
| Using only the brand (Frigidaire) | Always start with the full model number FEF336BCG |
| Ordering by appearance only | Match by part ID and function |
| Mixing up bake vs broil issues | Test which heating function fails before buying |
| Assuming all switches are the same | Match the correct surface element control switch type |
Why it matters
Ranges often have multiple versions that look identical but use different wiring, switches, and heating elements. Using the exact model number helps us narrow to the correct Frigidaire range parts list and prevents ordering a part that will not fit or connect correctly.
