Frigidaire Electric stove burner won't turn off
Won’t your Frigidaire electric stove burner turn off? Stop using the burner and switch off power at the circuit breaker until you find the cause. The control knob is the first thing to inspect. A cracked, broken, or stripped knob may not rotate the surface element switch stem far enough to reach the off position. If the knob is intact and the switch remains on, the surface element switch may have fused electrical contacts that continue sending voltage to the surface element, making the stove burner stay hot. On touchpad models, a failed oven control board, control panel, or surface element board can also send continuous voltage to the burner. Check for burned components, damaged wiring, or a shorted surface element before replacing an electronic part. A multimeter and the range wiring diagram can help confirm whether voltage is still reaching the element after the control is set to off. Repair Clinic has Frigidaire knobs, surface element switches, control panels, oven control boards, and surface element boards. Enter your model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific Frigidaire range.
01 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Knob
If a range's surface element won't turn off, you should first inspect the control knob for damage. A broken knob may be unable to rotate the surface element switch stem to stop voltage being sent to the element.

02 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Switch
The surface element switch sends voltage to the surface element coil. Sometimes, when the surface element switch fails, the electrical contacts inside the switch fuse together, causing the switch to send continuous voltage to the surface element. If the surface element switch is defective, replace it.

03 - Broken or cracked control knob
If the control knob is cracked or broken it may not be turning the stem on the switch. Inspect the control knob and confirm the switch is in the off position. If the control knob is damaged, it will need to be replaced.

04 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Oven Control Board
On some range models, the control board provides voltage to all of the appliance's electrical components. If the board is defective, it might send continuous voltage to a surface element even after the element has been turned off. If you've confirmed the surface element itself has not shorted and the element is controlled by a touchpad, it's likely the control board is faulty. You can inspect the board for signs of damage or a shorted component. You can also use a multimeter to test for voltage reaching the bake or broil elements or igniters after reviewing the appliance's wiring diagram.

05 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Control Panel
A range's control panel can allow the user to select the heating functions for both a stovetop and an oven. If the control panel is defective, one or more of the buttons may have shorted and you will not be able to turn off the element. If you've confirmed the surface element itself has not shorted and the element is controlled by a touchpad, it's likely that touchpad or control panel is faulty.
Highly Likely
06 - Frigidaire Range/Stove/Oven Surface Element Board
If a range's surface element is controlled by a touchpad, it's possible the surface element board has a shorted component that is sending continuous voltage to the element. You can inspect the board for signs of burning or a shorted component. If the surface element and wiring are not shorted it is likely the surface element board is damaged and will need to be replaced.
Highly Likely
