Frigidaire Range Repair (Model FGF355DSA) – Louisville, OH

A Frigidaire range in Louisville wasn’t heating properly — the oven wouldn’t light while the surface burners worked fine. We found a weak bake igniter that was glowing but not drawing enough amperage to open the gas safety valve.

The Problem

The customer reported that their oven wouldn’t ignite, though all surface burners were functioning normally. The igniter would glow orange but the oven never lit, making baking and roasting impossible.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the bake igniter was drawing insufficient amperage despite glowing. A weak igniter can’t generate enough current to signal the gas safety valve to open, leaving the oven unable to light even when the igniter appears to be working visually.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: 5303935066 — Oven igniter kit with mounting nut
• Work performed: Removed old igniter, installed new OEM unit, tested amperage draw
• Result: Oven lights properly, preheats in approximately 8.5 minutes with stable temperatures

Is It Worth Repairing?

This Frigidaire FGF355DSA is a solid mid-range unit that typically lasts 15-20 years with proper maintenance. An igniter replacement at this age makes good financial sense — these ranges are built well and this repair should provide years of reliable service.

Maintenance Tips for Frigidaire Ranges

• Keep the igniter area free of grease and food debris — buildup can cause premature failure
• Avoid slamming the oven door, which can crack the ceramic igniter element
• If you notice longer preheat times or a dim orange glow, the igniter is weakening and should be replaced soon
