Frigidaire Oven Repair (Model FEF352AWF) – Canton, OH

We responded to a service call in Canton, OH for a Frigidaire oven (Model FEF352AWF) that wouldn’t heat. The homeowner reported the oven had stopped working entirely — no heat, no response when set to bake. Our diagnosis revealed a failed main control board that had lost its ability to send power signals to the heating elements.

The Problem

The customer called because their oven would not heat at all. When they selected a temperature and bake mode, nothing happened — no element glow, no heat buildup, complete silence from the oven cavity. The display appeared normal and accepted temperature inputs, but the oven remained cold regardless of the settings.

Diagnosis

We tested the bake element first and found it in perfect condition with proper resistance readings. The wiring connections were solid, and there were no visible signs of damage to the element or its harness. This pointed us to the main control board — the electronic brain that tells the elements when to turn on. The control board was receiving input commands but failing to send output signals to activate the heating elements, a classic symptom of internal circuit failure.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 316207511 — main control board assembly
• Work performed: Removed old control board, installed new board, reconnected all wiring harnesses
• Result: Oven now heats properly, tested at multiple temperature settings with accurate performance

Is It Worth Repairing?

The FEF352AWF is a solid mid-range Frigidaire model that typically runs 10-12 years with proper care. If this unit is under 8 years old, the control board replacement makes excellent sense — these ovens are well-built and this repair should provide years of reliable service. Older units approaching 15+ years might warrant replacement consideration, especially if other components are showing wear.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Ovens

• Use the self-clean cycle sparingly on Frigidaire models — excessive heat can stress the control board electronics over time
• Keep the oven door seals clean and inspect for tears, as heat loss makes the control board work harder to maintain temperature
• Avoid slamming the oven door, which can jar internal connections and cause intermittent control board issues
