How to reset a Frigidaire electric range?
To reset your Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABF, fully power-cycle the range: turn the breaker OFF (or unplug it) for 5 to 10 minutes, then restore power. This clears many control glitches and restores normal keypad response.
- Turn all surface burner knobs to OFF.
- Switch the range breaker OFF (preferred) or unplug the cord.
- Wait 5 to 10 minutes (use 10 minutes if the display was frozen).
- Restore power at the breaker or plug the range back in.
- Set the clock, then test Bake and a surface element.
A reset fixes temporary control issues. If the problem returns right away, a failed heating or sensing part is more likely.
- If the oven will not bake or heats unevenly, check the Frigidaire range bake element 316075103.
- If temperatures are consistently off (too hot or too cool), the Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 is a common cause.
- If a surface burner will not regulate heat, the Frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000 is often involved.
| Symptom | Most likely area | Part to check on this model |
|---|---|---|
| Display frozen, buttons unresponsive | Control power reset first | Power-cycle, then inspect wiring connections |
| Oven will not heat in Bake | Bake circuit | Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| Oven temperature inaccurate | Temperature sensing | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| One small burner stuck on high or won’t heat | Infinite switch | Frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000 |
A proper reset (breaker off long enough) clears the electronic control’s stored state after a power surge or glitch. If heat problems remain after the reset, testing the bake element or temperature sensor helps you avoid replacing the wrong part.

How long should a Frigidaire range last?
A Frigidaire electric range like model FCRC3012ABF typically lasts 13 to 15 years with normal household use and basic care. Heavy daily cooking, frequent self-clean cycles, and delayed repairs can shorten lifespan; replacing common wear parts on time helps it reach the full service life.
Most ranges fail from a few high-heat or high-use components rather than the cabinet itself.
- Usage level: daily cooking and high-heat baking shortens component life
- Heat stress: frequent broiling and long bakes accelerate element wear
- Cleaning habits: spills left to bake on can damage finishes and create hot spots
- Electrical health: loose connections can cause intermittent heating or control issues
- Repair timing: fixing small problems early prevents bigger failures
If your oven stops heating evenly or takes longer to preheat, these are the first parts we check on an electric range.
- Frigidaire range bake element 316075103
- Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000
- Frigidaire range broil element 316203200
- Frigidaire range oven light bulb 316538904
| Symptom | Most likely area | Part to check first |
|---|---|---|
| Oven not heating in bake | Bake circuit | Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| Temperature swings, under/over bakes | Sensing/control | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| No broil heat | Broil circuit | Frigidaire range broil element 316203200 |
| Oven light out | Lighting | Frigidaire range oven light bulb 316538904 |
A range that is still structurally sound often becomes unreliable because a heating element, sensor, or electrical connection is failing. Replacing the right part restores safe, consistent cooking performance and can add years of usable life.

What does FCRC3012ABF on a Frigidaire oven mean?
FCRC3012ABF is the model number for your Frigidaire electric range. We use that exact model number to match the correct replacement parts and diagrams for your appliance, so you get parts that fit and work correctly.
On Frigidaire ranges like model FCRC3012ABF, the model number is typically found on a rating label in one of these spots:
- Along the oven door frame (visible when you open the oven door)
- On the lower drawer frame area (storage or broiler drawer, if equipped)
- Behind the control panel area (less common)
- On paperwork that came with the range (if you still have it)
Small design changes can affect which bake element, sensor, or control part your range uses. Using FCRC3012ABF helps us narrow parts to the correct fit.
Common part lookups tied to this model include:
- Oven not heating evenly (often points to a bake element)
- Oven temperature inaccurate (often points to a temperature sensor)
- Surface element not heating (often points to an element switch)
If you’re troubleshooting heating or temperature issues, these model-matched parts are good starting points:
If you saw “FCRC3012ABF” on a label, that is a model number. If you saw something like “F30” on the display, that is an error code.
| What you’re seeing | What it means | What to do next |
|---|---|---|
| FCRC3012ABF | Model number (identifies the exact range) | Use it to find correct parts and diagrams |
| F30 / F31 (example) | Error code (indicates a fault) | Troubleshoot the circuit or replace the failed part |
Using the correct model number prevents ordering the wrong Frigidaire range parts, reduces downtime, and helps you target the right repair (for example, replacing a failed sensor instead of guessing).

Where can I find my Frigidaire oven part number?
For your Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABF, the part number you need is tied to the model and serial tag on the range. We typically find that tag when the oven door is open, either along the interior-side trim or on a side panel near the door opening.
Use the information on the tag to match parts correctly.
- Model number (example: FCRC3012ABF)
- Serial number (helps confirm production run)
- Electrical ratings (useful for wiring and control parts)
- Sometimes a product code or type number
On most Frigidaire freestanding electric ranges, the model and serial tag is in one of these spots:
- Along the interior-side trim of the oven frame (visible with the door open)
- On the left-side panel near the front edge (visible with the door open)
- Around the oven door opening on the frame (upper or lower edge)
Once you have the model number, you can select the exact replacement part from the parts list for your range.
| What you have | What it’s used for | Example part you can match |
|---|---|---|
| Model number | Confirms the correct parts diagram and list | Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| Serial number | Helps avoid version mismatches | Control parts, wiring, overlays |
| Symptom (what’s wrong) | Narrows the part category | Heating, lighting, surface elements |
Ranges often have multiple versions that look the same but use different bake elements, sensors, or control parts. Using the model and serial tag details helps prevent ordering the wrong Frigidaire range part.

Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire electric range model FCRC3012ABF, you can look up compatible replacement parts by searching the full model number and then matching the part to the correct section (oven, cooktop, control panel, door). This helps ensure the part fits and functions correctly.
- Use the complete model number exactly as shown on the range data tag: FCRC3012ABF
- Open the model’s parts list and diagrams, then choose the area you’re repairing (bake, broil, surface elements, wiring)
- Compare the part name and ID to what you’re replacing (for example, an element vs. a switch)
- Confirm symptoms before ordering (for example, no heat in bake vs. inaccurate temperature)
- Order the exact match listed for your model to avoid fitment issues
If you already know what’s failing, these are some frequently replaced items for this model:
| Symptom | Likely part category | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Oven will not bake | Bake heating circuit | Frigidaire range bake element 316075103 |
| Oven temperature is off | Temperature sensing | Frigidaire range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| One small burner won’t regulate heat | Surface control | Frigidaire range small surface element control switch 316436000 |
| Oven light is out | Lighting | Frigidaire range oven light bulb 316538904 |
Ranges often have multiple similar-looking parts that are not interchangeable across revisions. Using the FCRC3012ABF model number ties your search to the correct diagrams and compatible parts, which prevents ordering the wrong bake element, sensor, or switch.
