Can I look up Frigidaire parts by model number?
Yes. For your Frigidaire FGFL87DCG gas range, looking up parts by the exact model number is the most reliable way to get compatible replacement parts because it ties your search to the correct diagrams, part lists, and revisions shown in the FGFL87DCG owner's manual.
Where to find the model number on the range
On sealed-burner Frigidaire ranges like FGFL87DCG, the identification plate is typically on the right-hand front frame near the storage or warmer drawer area (or the lower panel area). Use the full model number and the serial number when ordering.
- Check the right-hand oven front frame at the drawer opening
- Write down the model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter
- Match every part to your model before ordering (even common items like bulbs)
- Use the manual diagrams and parts list to confirm fit
How to use the model number to choose the right part
Once you have FGFL87DCG, you can narrow to the exact component you need (burner, igniter, oven sensor, gas valve, door seal) and avoid look-alike parts.
Common examples for this model
| What you are fixing | What to search for | Example part for FGFL87DCG |
|---|---|---|
| Oven temperature issues | Oven temperature sensor | Range oven temperature sensor 316490000 |
| Surface burner won’t light | Burner head, igniter/orifice holder | Range surface burner head 316212400 |
| Oven light out | Oven light bulb, socket | Range oven light bulb 316538904 |
Why it matters
Frigidaire ranges can have similar-looking parts across model families, but differences in burner ratings, fuel setup, and hardware revisions can change which part fits. Using the model number helps prevent returns and gets your range back to safe, normal operation faster.

Where to find model number on Frigidaire gas range?
On the Frigidaire FGFL87DCG gas range, the model and serial number identification plate is typically on the right-hand surface of the oven front frame near the storage drawer/warmer drawer area (or the lower panel area). Use the number exactly as shown when ordering parts or service; see the FGFL87DCG owner’s manual.
Common places to check on FGFL87DCG
- Right-hand side of the oven front frame, visible when the storage drawer is opened
- Behind the storage drawer (remove the drawer for a clearer view)
- Lower front panel area (if your model uses a lower panel instead of a drawer)
- Oven front frame area just inside the door opening (near the bottom edge)
Quick steps to find it fast
- Turn the oven off and let surfaces cool.
- Pull the storage drawer out and look at the right-hand front frame.
- If you do not see the plate, remove the drawer and look along the lower panel area.
- Write down model number, serial number, and any lot number/letter shown.
What the identification plate tells you (and why it matters)
The plate is more than a label; it helps match the correct Frigidaire gas range parts and setup details.
| Plate item | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures diagrams and parts match your exact range |
| Serial number | Helps confirm production details for service |
| Lot number/letter | Helps narrow down version changes within the same model |
| Fuel and pressure rating | Confirms the range’s factory gas setup (natural gas vs LP conversion) |
Why it matters
Using the exact FGFL87DCG model number prevents ordering the wrong burner, igniter, or oven component and speeds up troubleshooting when you reference wiring and gas setup information.

Why does my Frigidaire gas range smell like gas?
If your Frigidaire FGFL87DCG gas range smells like gas, treat it as a potential gas leak first: do not light the appliance or touch electrical switches, and contact your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone. After safety is addressed, common causes include incomplete ignition, dirty burner ports, or a supply connection leak.
What to do right now (safety first)
- Do not try to light any burner or the oven.
- Do not touch electrical switches or use a phone inside the building.
- Call your gas supplier from a neighbor’s phone and follow their instructions.
- If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.
- Keep the area ventilated and keep people and pets away from the range.
For the exact safety steps and warnings for this model, follow the FGFL87DCG installation guide.
If the smell happens only when a burner is on
A brief, faint odor at initial ignition can happen, but a persistent gas smell points to ignition or combustion problems.
- Burner ports clogged with spills or debris (gas flows but doesn’t ignite cleanly)
- Burner head not seated correctly after cleaning
- Weak or inconsistent spark ignition
- Incorrect flame pattern (lazy yellow flames instead of steady blue)
A common related part is the range surface burner head 316212400 if the burner head is damaged or won’t sit flat.
If the smell is present when everything is off
That pattern is more consistent with a leak in the supply path or a valve that is not sealing.
| Smell pattern | Most likely direction | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| Smell only during ignition | Ignition or burner cleanliness | Clean and reseat burner parts; verify strong spark |
| Smell while cooking (steady) | Incomplete combustion | Check flame color and burner alignment |
| Smell when off | Supply connection or valve leak | Shut off gas; leak test joints with liquid leak detector |
Per the installation instructions, check joints and conduits using a liquid leak detector and do not use a flame to check for leaks.
Why it matters
Gas odor can signal a condition that can lead to fire or explosion if ignored. Addressing it immediately protects your home and helps prevent damage to components like the gas valve, igniters, and burner assemblies.
