Why is my Frigidaire oven not coming on?

When your Frigidaire oven has a digital display and the control panel doesn't light up, reset the house circuit breaker for the wall oven if it's tripped.

Resetting the Thermal Switch on a Frigidaire Oven

When Frigidaire wall oven won’t heat after you run the self-cleaning cycle, the thermal switch might have tripped. Most Frigidaire electric wall ovens have a safety switch—called a thermal switch—on the back of the appliance that trips if temperatures in the oven get too hot.

Sometimes, the self-cleaning cycle in your oven can accidentally trip the thermal switch because it uses high temperatures to burn off grease and food residue.

It's easy to reset the thermal switch, but getting to it is a bit trickier. Watch this video to see how to get to the switch, reset it and get baking again.

If you suspect that the thermal switch tripped on your Frigidaire oven and you’re unable to access and reset it on your own, schedule oven repair service and we’ll fix the oven for you.

What to look out for with an oven not turning on diagnosis

Diagnosing modern appliances without proper knowledge and training can be difficult. Without using proper diagnostic techniques, fixing your oven problem will only be achieved through changing parts on a hunch. Appliances, especially in the last 10 years, have become extremely advanced, and many models have electronic parts that are difficult to test. DIY repairs on the latest appliance models are becoming increasingly difficult.

When a Frigidaire oven won’t respond to any controls, the problem could range from a loose wire to a fried electronic panel. Trying to reboot it without pinpointing the root cause can lead to repeated failures. Instead, arrange electric range repair near me or gas service if your model uses fuel. Professional insight ensures you’re not left with a permanently cold oven.
