Professional Repair Time: 5-10 minutesDIY Repair Time: 10-15 minutesDifficulty Rating: Easy (1/5) — Requires only rack removal and installation; no tools required; minimal mechanical skill required

1. Turn off the oven and allow it to cool completely if it has been used recently. Oven racks and the oven interior can reach temperatures exceeding 550°F and cause severe burns.
2. Verify the oven is completely cool by touching the oven interior with the back of your hand. The oven should be at room temperature.
3. Remove any cookware, bakeware, or food items from the oven.
4. Open the oven door fully to provide clear access to the oven interior.
5. Take multiple photos of the old rack position, orientation, and how it sits on the side rails before removal. Document the rack from multiple angles. This is critical for proper installation of the new rack.
6. Locate the old oven rack that needs to be replaced. Note which height position it occupies on the oven side rails.
7. Pull the old rack forward toward you until it reaches the stop-notch position (approximately 2/3 of the way out of the oven).
8. Lift the front edge of the rack slightly to disengage the stop-notch from the side rails.
9. Continue pulling the rack forward while keeping the front edge slightly elevated until the rack is completely removed from the oven.
10. Place the old rack on a clean work surface with adequate space for inspection.
11. Inspect the old rack for visible damage such as warping, bending, sagging, rust, corrosion, or chrome plating deterioration. This confirms the diagnosis.
12. Measure the old rack dimensions to verify compatibility: width (approximately 22.5 inches) and depth (approximately 14.5 inches).
13. Inspect the oven side rails for damage, rust, or debris accumulation. Clean the side rails with a damp cloth to ensure smooth rack sliding.
14. Verify the side rails are straight and not bent. Bent side rails will prevent proper rack installation and smooth sliding. Straighten or replace damaged side rails if necessary.
15. Unpack the new 318025314 oven rack from its packaging. Handle carefully to avoid bending or damaging the rack.
16. Verify the rack specifications match the old rack: 23 inches wide (22.5" actual), 15 inches deep (14.5" actual), chrome-plated steel construction, stop-notch design on front edge.
17. Compare the new rack to the old one to verify the width, depth, wire grid pattern, cross-member configuration, and stop-notch position match. Ensure you have the correct replacement part.
18. Inspect the new rack for any damage or defects before installation. The rack should be straight, level, and free of bends, warps, or damage.
19. Verify the chrome plating is intact and the rack surface is smooth and free of sharp edges or burrs.
20. Position the new rack at the front of the oven opening, aligning the rack ends with the oven side rails at the desired height position.
21. Tilt the front edge of the rack slightly upward to clear the stop-notch over the side rail front edge.
22. Insert the rack ends onto the side rails and slide the rack backward into the oven cavity.
23. Keep the front edge slightly elevated as you slide the rack backward to prevent the stop-notch from catching on the side rails.
24. Continue sliding the rack backward until it is fully inserted into the oven and rests level on the side rails.
25. Lower the front edge of the rack so it sits level on the side rails at the same height as the rear.
26. Verify the rack is properly seated on both side rails and is level from front to back and side to side.
27. Test the rack sliding action by pulling it forward to the stop-notch position. The rack should slide smoothly without binding or catching.
28. Verify the stop-notch engages properly when the rack is pulled approximately 2/3 of the way out. The rack should stop and not pull completely out of the oven.
29. Push the rack fully back into the oven to verify smooth sliding in both directions.
30. Verify the rack does not wobble or tilt when gently pressed. The rack should be stable and level.
31. Test the rack with cookware by placing a typical baking pan or dish on the rack to verify it sits level and stable.
32. Verify the cookware does not tilt or slide on the rack surface.
33. If the rack does not slide smoothly, verify the side rails are clean and straight and the rack is properly seated on both rails.
34. If the rack wobbles or tilts, verify both ends of the rack are at the same height position on the side rails.
35. If the stop-notch does not engage, verify the rack is oriented correctly with the stop-notch at the front edge.
36. Close the oven door and verify it closes fully without contacting the new rack.
37. Run a test baking cycle (without food) at 350°F for 15-20 minutes to verify the new rack performs properly at operating temperature.
38. Monitor for unusual noises or smells during the test cycle. The rack should operate quietly with no rattling or vibration.
39. After the test cycle, allow the oven to cool and verify the rack slides smoothly and remains level after heat exposure.
40. Test baking with actual food (a simple item like cookies or bread) to confirm proper rack performance and even heat distribution.

Safety Notes: Always allow the oven to cool completely before removing or installing oven racks. Oven racks can reach temperatures exceeding 550°F and cause severe burns. Never force a rack into the oven—if it doesn't fit easily, verify you have the correct rack for your model. Ensure the rack is properly seated on both side rails before loading with cookware. Do not exceed the rack's weight capacity (approximately 25 pounds when properly supported). This repair requires minimal mechanical skill—if you're uncomfortable with the process, consult a professional technician.

Always measure your existing rack before ordering a replacement. Oven rack dimensions vary significantly by model, even within the same brand. Measure the width (side to side) and depth (front to back) of your existing rack to verify the 318025314 dimensions (22.5" W x 14.5" D) match your oven. An incorrectly sized rack will not fit properly and may cause safety hazards.

Clean the oven side rails before installing the new rack. Debris, grease, or food buildup on the side rails can prevent smooth rack sliding and cause premature wear. Clean the side rails thoroughly with a damp cloth or mild degreaser before installing the new rack.This oven rack is model-specific. The 318025314 is designed for specific Frigidaire and affiliated brand ranges and wall ovens with 23" x 15" oven cavities. Always verify your appliance model number matches one of the compatible models before ordering. Using an incorrect rack can result in non-fit or improper oven operation.

This is a complete replacement oven rack. The 318025314 includes the full chrome-plated steel wire rack with stop-notch design pre-assembled and ready for installation. You cannot replace individual components—the entire rack must be replaced if any part is damaged.

Oven rack replacement is a simple repair. This repair requires no tools and minimal mechanical skill. The rack simply slides onto the oven side rails. Installation typically takes less than 5 minutes.

Verify the stop-notch is oriented correctly. The stop-notch should be on the front edge of the rack to prevent the rack from being accidentally pulled completely out of the oven. If the rack is installed backwards, the stop-notch will not function properly.

Do not exceed the rack's weight capacity. The 318025314 is designed to support approximately 25 pounds when properly supported on both side rails. Exceeding this weight can cause the rack to bend, warp, or fail. Distribute heavy cookware weight evenly across the rack.

Keep the rack clean for extended life. Food spills and grease buildup on the rack can cause staining, corrosion, and difficulty cleaning. Wipe up spills promptly and wash the rack regularly with warm soapy water to extend rack life.

This repair restores full oven functionality. A properly functioning oven rack is essential for safe, stable cookware support and even heat distribution. Replacing a damaged rack restores reliable baking, roasting, and broiling performance.

Check all oven racks for wear. If one rack is damaged, other racks of similar age may also be wearing out. Inspect all racks and replace any that show signs of warping, bending, rust, or damage.

The chrome plating is heat-resistant but not indestructible. Repeated exposure to extreme temperatures (above 500°F) or harsh chemical cleaners can deteriorate the chrome plating over time. Use oven cleaners sparingly and follow manufacturer instructions.

Never use abrasive cleaners on chrome-plated racks. Steel wool, abrasive pads, or harsh chemical cleaners can scratch or damage the chrome plating. Use only mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge to clean the rack.

The rack should slide smoothly without binding. If the new rack binds or catches on the side rails, verify the side rails are straight and not bent. Bent side rails will prevent smooth rack operation and may need to be straightened or replaced.

This repair is cost-effective compared to range replacement. The cost of oven rack replacement ($60-120) is far less than the cost of a new range ($800-2,000+). Replace damaged racks promptly to maintain safe oven operation.

Verify the rack is level before loading with cookware. An unlevel rack will cause cookware to tilt and food to cook unevenly. Ensure both ends of the rack are at the same height position on the side rails.

The rack can be positioned at multiple height levels. Most ovens have 5-7 rack positions to accommodate different cooking needs. Position the rack at the appropriate height for the type of cooking you're doing (lower for roasting, middle for baking, upper for broiling).

Monitor the rack after first use. After installing the new rack, use the oven at normal operating temperatures and monitor for smooth sliding, proper support, and even heat distribution. Address any issues immediately before they affect cooking performance.

This rack is compatible with both electric and gas ranges. The 318025314 is designed for use in both electric and gas oven models from Frigidaire and affiliated brands. Verify your appliance type (electric or gas) matches the compatible models list.

The stop-notch prevents accidental rack removal. The stop-notch design on the front edge of the rack prevents the rack from being accidentally pulled completely out of the oven when extended. This safety feature is especially important when checking food or removing hot items from the oven.

Oven racks are not interchangeable between models. Even within the same brand, oven rack dimensions and configurations vary by model. Always verify your specific appliance model before ordering a replacement rack.

The chrome plating provides corrosion resistance. The chrome plating on the 318025314 resists rust and corrosion from moisture and high-temperature exposure. This extends rack life and maintains appearance over time.

This repair prevents uneven baking and cooking problems. A properly functioning oven rack ensures level, stable cookware support and even heat distribution. Replacing a damaged or warped rack prevents burnt or undercooked food and improves cooking results.

Never attempt to straighten a bent or warped rack. Attempting to straighten a bent rack by bending it back can weaken the metal structure and cause the rack to break or fail during use. Always replace a damaged rack with a new one.

The rack should be cool before handling or storing. Always allow the rack to cool completely before removing it from the oven or storing it. Hot racks can cause severe burns and may warp if cooled too quickly.

Verify the oven door closes properly with the new rack. After installing the new rack, close the oven door and verify it closes fully without contacting or binding on the rack. Improper door closure can affect oven performance and safety.

This repair maintains oven safety and performance. A properly functioning oven rack is essential for safe, reliable oven operation. Damaged or warped racks can cause cookware to tilt, food to cook unevenly, and potential safety hazards. Replace damaged racks promptly.
