Does Frigidaire make a gas wall oven?
Yes. Frigidaire makes gas wall ovens, and the Frigidaire FGB24L2ABA is a gas wall oven model. Gas wall ovens still use household electricity for ignition and safe operation, so proper grounding and installation details matter.
What to know about Frigidaire gas wall ovens
- A gas wall oven uses a gas supply for baking and broiling heat.
- It also plugs into a grounded outlet to power ignition and controls.
- If the oven will not operate after installation, the gas shutoff valve must be open.
- Gas connections must be checked for leaks using a liquid leak detector (never a flame).
- Installation and service are intended for a qualified installer or service agency.
Quick comparison: gas vs. electric wall ovens
| Feature | Gas wall oven (like FGB24L2ABA) | Electric wall oven |
|---|---|---|
| Heat source | Natural gas or LP (converted) | Electric elements |
| Needs electrical power | Yes (controls, ignition) | Yes (all heating and controls) |
| Common no-heat cause | Weak igniter or gas supply off | Failed element or power issue |
If your gas wall oven is not heating
These checks apply directly to FGB24L2ABA-STYLE gas wall ovens:
- Confirm the manual gas shutoff valve is fully open.
- Verify the oven is plugged into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle.
- Check the house fuse or circuit breaker.
- If you smell gas, follow the safety steps in the installation guide.
- If the burner will not light or takes too long to ignite, a worn igniter is a common cause; see the range oven burner igniter 5303935066 if you are replacing that part.
Why it matters
Gas wall ovens combine gas and electricity. Correct grounding, a properly opened gas supply, and safe leak-checking help the oven ignite reliably and reduce nuisance no-heat problems.

Where is the temperature sensor on a Frigidaire wall oven?
On the Frigidaire FGB24L2ABA gas wall oven, the oven temperature sensor is typically mounted inside the oven cavity on the rear wall, with its wiring passing through the back panel to a connector outside the cavity. Confirm the exact mounting point in the FGB24L2ABA owner's manual.
What it looks like and where to look
In most Frigidaire wall ovens, the sensor is a slim metal probe that protrudes a short distance into the oven cavity.
Check these common locations:
- Rear wall, upper third of the oven cavity (most common)
- Rear wall near the broil area (often close to the top burner area)
- A small bracket holding the probe with 2 mounting screws
- A wire harness that disappears through a small hole in the rear liner
Safe access steps (quick checklist)
Before you try to locate or remove the sensor, we recommend:
- Turn off power at the breaker (the sensor circuit is electrical)
- Let the oven cool completely
- Remove oven racks for working room
- Use a flashlight to inspect the rear wall for a small probe and bracket
- If you plan to remove it, gently pull the sensor forward only a few inches to avoid stressing the harness
If you are troubleshooting temperature problems
A sensor issue can cause underheating, overheating, or long preheat times. If the sensor tests out of range, replacement is the typical fix. For this model, the oven temperature sensor part is listed as probe 316217002.
| Symptom | Common cause | What to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Oven too hot or too cool | Sensor drifting out of spec | Sensor resistance and connector fit |
| Temperature swings | Loose connection or failing sensor | Harness plug, pin fit, corrosion |
| Slow preheat | Weak igniter or gas ignition issue | Ignition performance and burner lighting |
Why it matters
The control uses the sensor signal to regulate the gas burner cycling. If the sensor is loose, damaged, or inaccurate, the oven can bake unevenly and struggle to hold a steady set temperature.

How to reset a Frigidaire wall oven?
To reset your Frigidaire FGB24L2ABA gas wall oven, turn the oven controls to OFF, then shut off power to the oven (unplug or switch the breaker off) for about 1 minute and restore power. If the display flashes or the clock resets, the reset worked.
Quick reset steps (safe, standard)
- Turn the temperature control knob to OFF.
- Make sure any timer or programmed cooking is canceled and left OFF.
- Shut off electrical power at the breaker (or unplug the oven if accessible).
- Wait about 60 seconds.
- Restore power.
- Reset the clock if it flashes “12:00” (see the FGB24L2ABA owner's manual).
If the oven still will not heat after a reset
A reset restores the control to a known state, but it will not fix a failed ignition or gas supply issue. For this model, ignition should occur in about a minute when set to 300°F.
- Confirm the gas shut-off valve is open.
- Set the oven to 300°F and watch for ignition within about 60 seconds.
- If you smell gas but no ignition occurs, the igniter circuit is the first place to check.
- If there is no heat and no ignition attempt, check power supply and wiring connections.
Common symptoms and likely causes
| What you notice | Most common cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| No glow from igniter, no flame | Failed igniter or open circuit | Inspect/replace range oven burner igniter 5303935066 |
| Igniter glows but burner will not light | Weak igniter or gas flow issue | Gas valve open; burner/igniter condition |
| Display resets to 12:00 after outage | Normal after power interruption | Set clock per manual |
Why it matters
Resetting clears minor control glitches after a power interruption and gets the timer and controls back to OFF, which helps prevent no-heat complaints caused by an active timed setting. If heating still fails, focusing on the igniter and gas supply prevents repeated no-start cycles.

How to replace thermostat in Frigidaire wall oven?
On the Frigidaire FGB24L2ABA gas wall oven, replacing a thermostat (often a high-limit thermostat) is a back-access repair: shut off power, remove the rear access panel, move the two wires to the new thermostat one at a time, then reinstall the mounting screws and panel. Use the FGB24L2ABA installation guide for safe access and shutoff steps.
Safety first (before you touch anything)
- Turn off electrical power at the breaker (or unplug if accessible).
- Let the oven cool completely.
- Shut off the gas supply valve if you will be working near the burner area.
- Wear cut-resistant gloves; sheet metal edges are sharp.
- Take a quick photo of wire positions before disconnecting anything.
Replacement steps (typical for a high-limit thermostat)
- Pull the wall oven forward enough to reach the rear panel (follow the FGB24L2ABA installation guide for mounting and access details).
- Remove the rear access panel screws and set the panel aside.
- Locate the thermostat: a small round or oval disc-style control with two wire terminals, usually mounted to the rear sheet metal near the oven cavity or burner area.
- Transfer wires one at a time from the old thermostat to the matching terminal on the new thermostat.
- Remove the mounting screws, swap in the new thermostat, and tighten screws snugly.
- Reinstall the rear panel, restore gas (if shut off), restore power, and test bake.
Quick troubleshooting: is it really the thermostat?
| Symptom | More likely cause | What to check next |
|---|---|---|
| No heat, no ignition glow | Igniter issue | Inspect/replace Frigidaire range oven burner igniter 5303935066 |
| Oven heats but temps are off | Sensor or calibration | Check sensor circuit; consider probe 316217002 |
| Light out only | Bulb or socket | Replace bulb 316538904 or inspect receptacle |
Why it matters
A failed high-limit thermostat can open the safety circuit and stop heating, or it can cause nuisance shutdowns. Correct wiring and solid mounting help the thermostat sense temperature accurately and protect the oven.
