If your Frigidaire oven isn’t heating properly, this guide tells you exactly what to do. When an oven stops heating it can be caused by something as simple as your appliance not getting power to something more complicated like a faulty thermal fuse. Follow our step-by-step instructions to find and fix the cause of your oven not heating.

The first thing to check is the power supply. If you have an electric Frigidaire oven, it needs to be getting 240 volts of alternating current. If you have a gas oven, it requires 120 volts of alternating current to operate correctly. When your oven isn’t getting enough power, it might not heat properly.
This is how to check if your oven is getting the correct amount of power:
The next 3 steps are for gas ovens only. If your Frigidaire oven is electric, move on to step 5.
After checking the power supply, the next gas oven component to check is the igniter. The igniter is responsible for lighting the burner. When faulty, your oven might not heat.
This is how to check if the igniter works:
The next step is to check the spark electrode. This component helps to light the bake or broil flame so your oven can heat. When it stops operating correctly, your oven can’t ignite and heat up.
Here’s how to check the spark electrode:
The final gas oven component to test is the safety valve. The valve opens to supply gas to the burner. If the valve fails to open properly, your oven won’t heat.
This is how to check the safety valve:
If you have a Frigidaire electric oven and it isn’t heating properly, one of the most likely culprits is a faulty bake element. When the element becomes defective, your oven can’t produce heat.
To check the bake element:
The next step when your Frigidaire oven isn’t heating properly is to check the thermal fuse to ensure it’s working correctly. The thermal fuse is there to monitor the temperature in your oven and to turn it off when it overheats. If the thermal fuse records the wrong temperature, your oven might not heat properly.
To check the thermal fuse:
If all the components listed above are working correctly, your final option is to replace the control board. This can be a costly option so you should consider getting a technician to inspect your oven first.
