You need to remove top cover to get to inlet valve (part where hoses attach). Be careful while testing parts for 120 volts. The inlet valve usually has 2 electric coils on it, some have 3 coils. While the machine is in fill cycle, check for 120 volts across each set of terminals on each coil (round plastic part with 2 terminals at each end). 1 coil is hot water--one is cold water (in some 3 coil valves 3rd coil is warm). If 120 volt is present depending on if machine is on hot or cold, the electronic boards and controls are good. Problem will be with the inlet valve itself and will need replaced. If no voltage, problem may be with control board or wiring.
The burner is not controlled and so it is possible that there is no control on the heating coils.The thermostat settings must be checked as this can be an area where the coils are not controlled for the heat set but goes to the highest level.You will need to remove the unit to check the control action of the controller, check the thermostat and sensor.
The oven gets extremely hot during the self clean cycle, and it is common for it to trip the high limit thermostat located in the rear of the oven. If the problem happens when not in self clean, then you may have a weak high limit, or a bad temperature probe.The switch is located on the upper back left side of the oven. Here is a diagram of the oven. The switch is #119.http://www.appliancepartspros.com/partsearch/frame_diagram.aspx?diagram_id=903528&pkw_=basket&model_id=5160477&NewWindow=1 Here is a link to the thermal switch in case you can't rest the one on your unit.http://www.appliancepartspros.com/Appliance-Parts/frigidaire-switch--thermal-item-number-ap2126993.aspx Try to do the reset and post back your results.
Definitely return it. It has a partial internal short which is appying full power to only part of the heating element causing th excessive heat. No properly working appliance should make the outlet hot.
you either need a new heating element or you are not getting full 240 volts, im assuming its electric here. check your outlet to make sure both leads are hot.
1. Do both coils get red hot? Try with bake @ 400F, then with broil to be sure. I recently had a bad lower bake coil, but the oven got hot slowly since the broil top coil comes on periodically to even up the heat in the oven. Replacing the lower coil was easy, about a 15-min job, but I had to pre-tap the screw holes on the coil terminals since my oven had extremely short wires.
2. If the coils are ok, the problem may be with the thermocouple or control board.
sounds like the broil elemnt in the upper oven is shorting itself out part number 74004106, probly 45 bucks. leave the circuit off adn replace it... the wire(s) leading to it are always live.theres a few screws across the top of the cavity holding it up
