Frigidaire Range Surface Element 5304516160, Replaces A13197402

The Frigidaire 5304516160 Range Surface Element is the genuine OEM 6" coil burner replacement that restores full, consistent heat to the small surface element on Frigidaire and Electrolux electric ranges. It replaces A13197402 as a direct drop-in when fitment is confirmed by the appliance model number.

Is This the Right Part?

Confirm the complete model number before ordering. This is the 6" small element — for the 8" large element, order part 5304516159 instead. Similar elements may use different terminal configurations or wattage ratings.

Common Symptoms

• 6" burner produces no heat at any setting
• Burner heats unevenly or only on part of the coil
• Element glows red in one spot but not across the full coil
• Burner cycles off prematurely — limiter tripping due to element failure
• Visible burn marks, breaks, or blistering on the coil surface
• Burner works intermittently — heats sometimes, fails others

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm other burners on the range heat normally — if all burners are dead, check the breaker and power supply first
• Inspect the infinite switch (burner control knob) — a failed switch can prevent the element from receiving power
• Check the receptacle block terminals for burning, pitting, or arcing damage before installing the new element
• Visually inspect the element coil for visible breaks, blistering, or burn-through before assuming an electrical fault

Installation Notes

1. Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or by unplugging before beginning.
2. Photograph the element position and receptacle block terminals before removal.
3. Lift the element slightly and pull straight out of the receptacle block to disconnect.
4. Inspect the receptacle block terminals for burning or pitting — replace if damaged.
5. Push the new 5304516160 firmly into the receptacle until fully seated.
6. Restore power and test on all heat settings — confirm even heat across the full coil.

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