Frigidaire Range Dual Radiant Surface Element 318198912, Superseded by 318198923

The Frigidaire 318198912 Dual Radiant Surface Element is designed to provide even radiant heat across two cooking zones on compatible Frigidaire and Electrolux electric ranges. This part has been superseded by 318198923 — verify which number applies to your model before ordering.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Dual radiant elements may differ in wattage, diameter, terminal block configuration, or bracket style depending on production revision.

Common Symptoms

• Surface element not heating on one or both zones
• Cooktop trips breaker or blows fuse when element is activated
• Visible cracks, blistering, or burn marks on the element
• Uneven heat or one zone heating while the other does not

Check Before Replacing

• Visually inspect the element for cracks, holes, or burn marks — these confirm failure
• Test element continuity with a multimeter — an open circuit confirms failure
• Inspect the element's terminal block and wiring harness for melting or arcing damage
• Check the infinite switch (burner switch) — a failed switch can mimic a dead element

Installation Notes

5. Restore power and test both heating zones; check for unusual smells or error codes.

Use a qualified appliance technician when diagnosis or installation is outside your experience.
