Frigidaire Oven/stove Repair – Atwater, OH (FEFL79JCB)

A Frigidaire oven in Atwater stopped working after the homeowner heard a popping noise and smelled an electrical burning smell during preheating. Our diagnosis revealed a burnt control board that would need rebuilding to restore oven function.

The Problem

The customer turned on the oven to pre-heat when they heard a popping noise and then smelled an electrical burning smell. The stove top was working fine and all display functions seemed to be working, but they had not attempted to turn on or use the oven after the incident.

Diagnosis

Inspection revealed the control board was burnt and needed replacement or rebuilding. A new control board would cost $375.00 but wasn’t available, while rebuilding the existing board would cost around $325.00.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: Control board rebuild recommended
• Work performed: Diagnosed burnt control board
• Result: Rebuild option presented to customer for oven restoration

Is It Worth Repairing?

For this Frigidaire oven model, a control board rebuild at $325 is typically worthwhile if the unit is under 8-10 years old and the rest of the oven components are in good condition. Frigidaire ovens generally provide reliable service when properly maintained, making this repair a sound investment for continued cooking functionality.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Ovens

• Keep oven vents clear of grease buildup to prevent overheating of electronic components
• Use the self-cleaning cycle sparingly on Frigidaire ovens to reduce stress on control boards
• Avoid slamming the oven door, which can jar internal electrical connections loose
