yorkbill,
Wecome to fixya,
Huuum at your service.
You said, your self-cleaning oven (Frigidaire) caught fire while cleaning.
Any recalls on this problem? Stove was purchased about one and a half years ago.
Please give me the model number so I may check for recalls!
If you attempted to clean the oven with drippings or heavy food on the bottom of the oven from spills,
then you can have a small fire in the oven .
But it will burn out.
The user guides all tell the reader that if you drip or spill food in the oven to first, "wipe out loose soil to reduce smoke and avoid damage!"

- Model Number: model # FGF366ECC
is a consumer reports best buy and a great range that I sell all day long.
There was no recall for this and I never heard of the fire in the oven, except if there was a large spill in the oven.Then we need to clean away the stuff first so it will not catch fire while doing the self clean ing for hours!
Was this the case where the oven caught fire during the self cleaning process?
The appliances made before 2006 had the old warranty, which was longer and better thatn today.
Did you call frigidaire and tell them it almost burned down your house????
This can get some sparks burning under their rears!
They are pretty good about taking care of their customers with fixes and swaps even after warranty is up!
tell me the complete story!
And I have a phone number for "Consumer Affairs" at frigidaire or Electrolux, who owns frigidaire.
It's Friday 9am hear on the east coast and i'll be at my store at 12 noon and I'll get you the number and or call for you!
If you give me the serial # and your name and address an tel number.
I am a dealer and can get them to do more for my customers than the average buyer!
You know what email me at ngfam1@hotmail.com so you do not have to post your personal stuff on line and with this info I'll try to get them to fix or replace or get you money towards a replacement.
I would not be surprised it they take the bull by the horns and they give us some results!
Huuum
