Frigidaire Electric Stove Control Board Relay Replacement

Run the bake cycle and listen for rapid relay clicks without any heat from the element.

Jump the control board and power the heater directly to verify the element, thermostat, and supply voltage are good.

Detach the marked wires and lift the control board clear of the stove chassis.

Remove the screws securing the control board housing to the rear panel of the stove.

Pull the board assembly out of the stove to gain full access.

Depress the small plastic retaining tabs to free the circuit board from its plastic housing.

Inspect the underside of the board for burnt solder joints, dark spots, or cracked traces around each relay.

Read the voltage and amperage ratings printed on the failed relay and record its part number.

Place the board on a stable surface and heat one relay pin with the desoldering iron until the solder melts.

Trigger the integrated vacuum pump to remove the molten solder from the pin.

Repeat the heat-and-vacuum process on all five pins until the relay lifts free, which usually takes two to three minutes.

Scrub the exposed pads and surrounding area with a wire brush to remove oxidation and burnt residue.

Insert the new relay into the cleared holes, matching the original orientation.

Apply masking tape across the relay body to hold it flush against the board while soldering.

Apply fresh solder to each of the relay pins, forming smooth shiny joints that fully wet the pads.

Inspect every joint; add solder and reflow any connection that did not bond properly.

Make a final pass with the wire brush to clear flux residue and ensure clean contacts.

Snap the repaired board back into its plastic housing until all tabs lock.

Secure the housing to the stove with the original screws.

Reconnect each wire to its original terminal using your photos or the wiring schematic located behind the stove’s back plate.

Power up the stove and run the bake cycle to verify the element heats normally without rapid relay clicking.
