How to Change a Fridgidaire Oven Control Board

A Frigidaire oven uses a control board built into the front top panel to operate the burners, set the timer, adjust the digital clock and activate the internal oven elements. The control board attaches to a wiring harness inside the oven. The wiring harness routes the circuits for the various controls to the corresponding features, such as the surface burners. The control board is an electronic component that must be replaced as a unit. Changing out a defective control board takes less than an hour.
