Review on πŸ”₯ Frigidaire 318254906 Bake Element in Elegant Black by Eric Timbeross

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Item works great just don't expect long life

Works great. The old one is mounted under a metal panel on the bottom of my oven so I couldn't see it until I removed the lid. It was twisted like a pretzel. The new one had to be installed in the same way. I have read several articles about the bottom heating coil and they say that using the self cleaning function caused the problem. I have used the self-cleaning function many times. I have a Frigidaire top oven. I did a complete kitchen renovation 10 years ago and bought all new appliances. I had to replace the main controller (brain) of the oven a few years ago. When the dishwasher broke after only 3 years. (Repair costs more than replacement) I repaired my microwave 3 times until the main power went out and replacement became cheaper. My refrigerator goes through a cycle of heating up to the point where all the ice in the ice machine melts. The device repair company said the manufacturer released a kit to fix this problem. Cost me €500 and didn't solve the problem. Until they can find out. I was really wondering why I should pay for a kit that the manufacturer knows is a problem. If it had been a car they would have called it back and fixed it for free. We did our homework on all the instruments and decided that they should last about 20 years. Only 2 people live here who take good care of everything we own. Obviously nothing else will be done in the long run. The technology that emerged in the late '50s and '60s served my parents and grandparents for more than 20 years.
