I have a Frigidaire oven model# FEFL77AQH. Yesterday morning while it was preheating, I heard a pop and it flipped the circuit breaker. After resetting the breaker, the oven turned back on and everything works except the oven doesn't heat up. I can set the temperature and the unit acts like it is working (preheat and oven lights come on), but no heat is generated by either top or bottom element. same thing for broil setting. I see similar problems described on the forum after running self clean cycles (last ran self clean about 3 weeks to a month ago), and you have recommended replacing the high limit thermostat fuse. I figured this should be the first thing to check, but i can't find any listing for that part for my model. Any tips? thanks

When I get a call like this, the only thing to do is pull the unit out and start checking the elements for shorts with my meter. If the elements are good, the popping noise could only have come from the oven control board. Not much else on this simple model of yours could cause this issue. Tell me that you have a volt/ohm meter....

Take the back panel off and look at all the wiring...obviously something popped enough to trip the breaker.

i checked the wiring in the back and everything looks good, so i pulled out the circuitboard, and sure enough, it's got a big black scorch mark. fortunately, you have it in stock and it will ship out overnght on monday. you are a life saver. thanks!!!
