Range Burner Won't Heat? Frigidaire Element Switch 318057910 – Fix No-Heat Fast
If your Frigidaire range burner won't turn on, stays stuck on high, or doesn't respond to the knob, the surface element switch is the most common cause. In most Frigidaire and Electrolux electric ranges, the surface element switch controls power delivery to each burner coil. When it fails, the burner loses all response — or locks on at full heat with no way to reduce it. ⚡ Common failure point in Frigidaire-built electric ranges from the CFEF and CMEF series. Part 318057910 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores precise burner control and eliminates the no-heat or stuck-on condition immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Range powers on and oven functions normally
- ✔ Other burners on the cooktop work correctly
- ✔ Outlet/breaker confirmed OK — power is reaching the range
- ✔ ONLY problem is one burner won't heat, won't turn off, or knob has no effect

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Burner element does not heat at any setting
- Burner stays on full heat — knob has no effect
- Burner only works on one heat level (e.g., only high)
- Burning smell or visible arcing at the switch position
✔ If these symptoms match, the surface element switch is the most likely failed component in the circuit.
✔ In most cases, replacing this switch restores normal burner operation immediately.
📦 Part Details
- Part Number: 318057910
- Type: Surface Element Switch (infinite switch) — controls heat level for one burner coil
- Replaces: 316436000, 316032001
- Brands: Frigidaire, Electrolux, Crosley, White-Westinghouse
If the burner coil itself shows burn marks, breaks, or uneven glow — replace the surface heating element at the same time. A failed element can stress the switch and cause repeat failures. Check the element before reassembly.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: MODERATE — 30–45 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Remove the cooktop panel or lift the range top to access the switch block. Disconnect the wiring harness, unscrew the old switch, and install the new 318057910 in the same position. Reconnect wiring and test each heat setting before reassembling the panel.

💡 Pro Tip
If one surface element switch has failed, the others on the same range are the same age and under the same wear. Replacing all switches in one service call saves a second labour trip — and prevents the next burner from failing mid-cook. Ask us about multi-switch pricing.
