Frigidaire 318578506 Oven High-Limit Thermostat OEM Part

Online chat here said that the oven sensor should be replaced. I got the feeling that was a bit off, so I went with my gut and ordered the thermostat as well. Replaced the sensor and that didn't fix it. Replaced the thermostat and it worked like a charm! Disappointed that they were overconfident in their answer and it would have taken me more days to fix - but, the products came in quickly (basically, next day) and were correct. Online video for my particular oven was incorrect - but it's an easy fix if you're comfortable pulling a wall oven out (onto sawhorses) and taking the back cover off.

Replaced High Temperature Thermostat

It fixed itself. I purchased the thermostat and it arrived 2 days later. Before I had a chance to put it in we baked something on the convection setting. After the oven cooled, the HE light on the burner went out and the cooling fan stopped for the first time in about a week. That was about a week ago. I've used the burner since and everything is still working fine. After the stove cools, the light goes out and the cooling fan stops as normal. Before that I tried to get the HE light and cooling fan to go off by turning off power to the stove for a while and then by using the burner. Neither helped - the cooling fan just kept running and the HE light stayed on.

We pulled oven from the wall looking for a switch to reset, according to what we had seen on utube, we could not find anything that looked similar, figuring we had nothing to loose we looked on top of the oven and found exactly what they showed on utube. We tested the part with ohm meter for continuity and it was not working. Not knowing if this was our only problem or not we ordered part based on part # on the part. It came in 2 days! We put it in and yes it worked. Figured we saved at least 200.00 plus.

Removed oven from cabinet (after removing doors), sat it on two 5gal paint buckets because the power cord is too short to set on the floor. After removing a dozen or so screws holding the top piece on, discovered that the thermostat is _NOT_ in the place indicated by your online drawings. Then proceeded to remove more panels to discover that it was located on the back. Used a multimeter to determine that the old thermostat was measuring open and the new one measured closed. Replaced the thermostat, put the zillion screws back in (having a small square-head thing helped), and that fixed it. Took about as long to wrestle the thing with this fat metal power cord back into the cabinet as it took to replace the parts.
