Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire free standing gas range model GCRG302LAFA, we look up compatible replacement parts by using the full model number to match the correct parts list and diagrams for that exact range.
How to find the model number on the range
Your model and serial number are on the identification plate on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame. To see it, open the storage drawer, warmer drawer, or broiler drawer (depending on your configuration); then read the plate.
When you record the information, capture:
- Full model number (example: GCRG302LAFA)
- Serial number
- Lot number or letter (if shown)
- Fuel type and pressure info listed on the plate (helpful for gas-related parts)
For the exact location illustrations and wording, use the installation guide.
How we use the model number to get the right parts
Once you have GCRG302LAFA, you can use it to pull the model-specific parts breakdown and choose the correct component by section (surface burners, oven burner, controls, door, wiring).
Common part lookups for this model
| Symptom | Part type to check | Example part on this model page |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not heat (bake) | Bake igniter | Bake igniter 316489403 |
| Oven temperature seems off | Oven temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven light is out | Appliance light bulb | Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 |
Why it matters
Using the full model number prevents ordering a part that looks similar but mounts differently, uses a different connector, or is calibrated differently (especially for gas ignition and temperature sensing).

How to find model number on Frigidaire gas range?
On your Frigidaire GCRG302LAFA free standing gas range, the model number is printed on the serial plate; you can typically find it by opening the lower oven drawer or storage drawer and looking for the tag inside that area. The owner's manual also points to this serial plate location.
Where to look (fast checklist)
- Pull out and open the lower oven drawer (or storage drawer, depending on your configuration)
- Look along the frame area just inside the drawer opening
- Find the serial plate or rating label (it lists model and serial)
- Write the model number exactly as shown (letters and numbers)
- Snap a clear photo for future parts lookup and service records
What the label usually includes
| Item on label | What it’s used for | Example (format) |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts diagrams and replacement parts | GCRG302LAFA |
| Serial number | Identifying production details for service history | Varies |
| Electrical/gas ratings | Installation and troubleshooting reference | Varies |
Why it matters for parts and troubleshooting
We use the model number to match the correct Frigidaire parts list for your exact range configuration (burners, oven ignition system, control style). Even small model differences can change which igniter, sensor, or burner components fit.
Tips if the tag is hard to read
- Wipe the label gently with a damp cloth and dry it (do not scrape)
- Use your phone’s flashlight and take a close-up photo
- Zoom in on the photo to confirm each character
- If the drawer is stuck, check for items catching on the drawer rails and remove the drawer fully if needed (follow the owner's manual)

How to replace a Frigidaire GCRG302LAFA igniter?
To replace the oven igniter on your Frigidaire GCRG302LAFA gas range, we shut off power and gas, access the burner area, remove the igniter mounting screws, transfer the wire connection, then reinstall and test for normal ignition (a glow followed by flame within about 60 seconds). See the installation guide for ignition checks and safety setup.
Before you start (safety and access)
- Turn the range control to OFF.
- Unplug the range or switch OFF the circuit breaker.
- Shut off the gas supply valve.
- Let the oven cool completely.
- Pull the range forward only as needed; avoid stressing the gas line.
Replacement steps (bake igniter)
- Remove oven racks.
- Remove the oven bottom panel to expose the bake burner area.
- Locate the igniter mounted to the bake burner tube.
- Remove the mounting screws and take out the old igniter.
- Disconnect the igniter wiring (connector or wire nuts, depending on your harness).
- Install the new igniter in the same position and secure it with the mounting screws.
- Reconnect wiring securely and route wires away from hot surfaces.
- Reinstall the oven bottom panel and racks.
If you are replacing the bake igniter, the model-matched part on this page is the bake igniter 316489403 (part number 5304508786).
How to test after replacement
Per the installation instructions, the igniter should glow and then the gas valve should open so the burner lights after a short delay.
| What you see | What it usually means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| Igniter glows, burner lights within 60 seconds | Normal operation | Let it cycle once, then set to OFF |
| Igniter glows, no flame after 60 seconds | Gas not reaching burner or valve not opening | Confirm gas is on; recheck wiring and connections |
| No glow at all | No power to igniter or open circuit | Recheck power, connector fit, and harness routing |
Why it matters
A weak or failed igniter is a top cause of “oven won’t heat” on gas ranges. The igniter must draw enough current to open the oven safety valve; replacing it restores reliable bake ignition and stable temperatures.

What are the parts of a gas oven?
A gas oven in a Frigidaire GCRG302LAFA uses a gas burner that’s lit by an electric igniter; the control maintains temperature by cycling the igniter and gas valve. Other key parts include the temperature sensor, racks, oven bottom panels, insulation, and the oven light.
Main gas oven components (what they do)
- Bake burner: produces heat for baking (typically the lower burner)
- Igniter (glow bar): glows to ignite gas; flame appears after a short delay
- Oven gas valve: opens to release gas once the igniter is hot enough
- Air shutter and orifice: mixes air with gas for a clean, blue flame
- Oven temperature sensor: helps regulate and maintain set temperature
- Oven bottom panel and burner baffle/shield: covers and protects the burner area
- Oven racks: support cookware at different rack positions
- Oven light and glass shield: illuminates the cavity; shield stays installed during use
Common replaceable parts for this model
- Bake igniter 316489403
- Range oven temperature sensor 316490000
- Frigidaire range oven gas valve 316031501
- Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904
- Frigidaire range oven rack 316496201
Ignition and flame behavior (quick reference)
A normal delay before the burner lights is 30 to 60 seconds after you start Bake or Broil.
| What you observe | Most likely area | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| No glow from igniter | Igniter, wiring, power | Verify power, inspect wiring, test igniter |
| Igniter glows, no flame | Gas valve, gas supply | Confirm gas supply, check valve operation |
| Yellow, lazy flame | Air shutter | Adjust for a distinct inner blue flame |
Why it matters
Knowing these parts helps you troubleshoot faster; most “no heat” issues trace back to a weak igniter, a gas valve problem, or improper air-to-gas mixture at the burner.
For diagrams, safety notes, and procedures (including oven light replacement), use the GCRG302LAFA owner’s manual.
