Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric range model LGEF3045KFH, using the full model number is the most accurate way to find parts that fit, because it filters results to the exact version of your range and its compatible replacement parts.
How to look up parts by model number
- Find the model number on the range’s ID plate (commonly around the oven frame, storage drawer area, or lower side panel).
- Enter LGEF3045KFH exactly as shown (letters and numbers matter).
- Use the parts list to match the failed component by name (for example: bake element, control board, surface element switch).
- Cross-check the part description with what you see on the range (single vs. dual element, small vs. large burner, etc.).
- Confirm installation notes and safety steps in the installation guide.
Common parts customers look up for LGEF3045KFH
These are examples of model-matched parts that are commonly replaced when symptoms show up:
| Symptom | Part to check first | Example model-matched part |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature seems off | Oven temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven will not bake | Bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316505500 |
| Burner heat is erratic | Surface element control switch | Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316238201 |
| Oven light out | Light bulb or socket | Appliance light bulb, 40-watt 316538904 |
Why it matters
Ranges often have multiple revisions under similar names. Searching by LGEF3045KFH helps prevent ordering a look-alike part that does not mount correctly, connect correctly, or heat properly.
Safety note when working on a range
Before inspecting or replacing parts, we follow the electrical and anti-tip safety steps in the installation guide, including verifying the anti-tip bracket engagement and using proper electrical connection practices.

How do I reset my Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire LGEF3045KFH electric range, turn the range off and disconnect power for about 30 seconds, then restore power. If the oven and all surface burners still do not heat after a reset, focus on the home power supply and range wiring.
Reset steps (safe, basic)
- Turn all surface element knobs to OFF.
- If the oven is running, press Cancel/Off.
- Switch the range circuit breaker OFF (or unplug the cord if accessible).
- Wait 30 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON (or plug back in).
- Set Bake to 350°F and test one surface element.
If nothing heats after the reset
When an electric range has power but will not heat, the most common cause is an incorrect supply voltage or a wiring issue at the terminal block, especially after installation.
- Confirm the range is on a dedicated, properly sized circuit.
- Check that the cord and terminal block connections are tight.
- Do not loosen the factory-installed nuts that secure the range wiring to the terminal block.
- Verify the correct cord type is used for your setup (3-wire for existing installations only; 4-wire for new/remodeled installations).
- If you see a burning smell, arcing, or damaged wiring, keep power off and have the wiring repaired.
3-wire vs 4-wire connection (quick reference)
| Installation type | Typical connection | Key point |
|---|---|---|
| New or remodeled | 4-wire | Ground strap is disconnected and a separate ground wire is attached to the frame |
| Existing only | 3-wire | Ground strap remains in place unless local codes require otherwise |
For the exact wiring diagrams and terminal block steps for this model, use the LGEF3045KFH installation guide.
Why it matters
A reset clears minor control glitches, but it cannot fix a missing L1/L2 supply or a loose neutral/ground connection. Correct voltage and secure terminal block wiring are required for the bake element, broil element, and radiant surface elements to heat normally.

How do I tell what model my Frigidaire stove is?
Your Frigidaire electric range model number is printed on the appliance’s rating label. On model LGEF3045KFH, the quickest check is usually inside the storage drawer area; once you find the tag, take a clear photo so you have the model and serial number ready when ordering parts or scheduling service.
Where to look on a Frigidaire range
Check these common label locations (start with the easiest):
- Inside the storage drawer opening: pull the bottom drawer out and look on the frame area just below the oven cavity.
- Along the oven door frame: open the oven door and look around the front frame (sides, bottom edge).
- Behind the range: on the back panel near the power cord entry (best checked only if the range is already pulled out).
- Lower front panel area: some freestanding ranges have a removable lower panel instead of a drawer.
For safe access and panel removal guidance, follow the LGEF3045KFH installation guide.
What you should capture from the tag
Write down or photograph these items exactly as shown:
- Model number (example: LGEF3045KFH)
- Serial number
- Electrical rating (volts/amps)
- Manufacturing date code (if listed)
Quick reference table
| Tag item | What it’s used for | Example format |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Matching the correct parts diagrams and parts | LGEF3045KFH |
| Serial number | Production run details, service identification | Letters and numbers |
| Electrical rating | Confirming correct power supply requirements | 240/208V info |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges often have similar-looking versions with different control boards, surface element switches, and oven sensors. Using the exact model number helps us match the right components the first time and avoid returns.

What is the life expectancy of a Frigidaire electric range?
A Frigidaire electric range like model LGEF3045KFH typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic maintenance (keeping it clean, avoiding overheating, and fixing small issues early).
Typical lifespan and what affects it
Most electric ranges reach the end of their service life due to heat-related wear on oven and cooktop components.
Common factors that shorten lifespan:
- Frequent high-heat baking or broiling (daily heavy use)
- Self-clean cycles used often (extra heat stress)
- Power surges affecting the control board
- Cooktop element cycling issues from worn switches
- Poor airflow around the range (tight clearances)
Parts that commonly wear first
Replacing a few key parts can extend the useful life of an electric range.
| Symptom | Common cause | Example part for LGEF3045KFH |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature is inaccurate | Sensor drifting out of range | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Oven will not bake evenly or at all | Failed bake element | Frigidaire range bake element 316505500 |
| Burner heat is erratic | Worn infinite switch | Frigidaire range surface element control switch 316238201 |
| Display issues or random beeping | Control failure or surge damage | Range oven control board 5304495520 |
Maintenance that helps you reach 13 to 15 years
We recommend these habits to reduce heat stress and prevent avoidable failures:
- Wipe spills quickly to prevent baked-on residue and smoke
- Keep the oven door seal clean so heat stays in the cavity
- Avoid running back-to-back self-clean cycles
- Use cookware that matches the surface element size
- Verify the range is level so pans heat evenly
Why it matters
Knowing the expected life helps you decide whether to repair or replace. If your LGEF3045KFH is under about 15 years old, replacing a failed bake element, temperature sensor, or surface switch is often a practical way to restore reliable cooking.
For safe setup and clearances that support long-term reliability, follow the installation guide.
