318258203 Genuine OEM Frigidaire Range Radiant Bridge Surface Burner Element
The 318258203 is a Genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement radiant bridge surface burner element compatible with select Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops. This is a dual surface bridge element — it spans two separate burner zones and bridges them together to create one large, elongated heating surface ideal for griddles, fish pans, and oversized cookware. Rated at 1800W / 2600W, it uses an exposed resistance wire (haliant-style) to generate heat directly on the glass-ceramic cooktop surface.
As a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications, the 318258203 is a direct factory-exact replacement. It also replaces the earlier 7318258203 part number. The element uses exposed resistance wire to heat the cooking surface — note that minor surface cracks in the glass covering do not affect heating performance. Before installation, photograph the original element's wire terminal connections so you can reconnect the new element correctly. Always unplug the range before beginning. Installs in 20–30 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range Before Starting Unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker before beginning. Allow the cooktop to cool completely before touching the element. Photograph the existing element's terminal wiring connections before disconnecting anything — the terminal block connections must be replicated exactly on the new element. Lift the glass-ceramic cooktop surface by opening the front and removing the retaining screws (typically under the front trim), then prop the top open. Unplug the element's terminal connections from the terminal block. Remove the element bracket screws and lift the old element out. Position the new 318258203 element in the same location, secure the mounting bracket, and reconnect the terminal wires in the same positions as documented in your photo. Lower the cooktop, restore power, and test both bridge element power settings. Note: do not touch the haliant wire surface of the element during installation. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a bridge burner element and what is it used for?
A bridge burner element connects two adjacent burner zones on a glass-ceramic electric cooktop into one elongated heating surface. When activated, the bridge element heats the entire combined area — ideal for using a griddle, roasting pan, fish pan, or any large flat-bottomed cookware that spans more than one standard burner. When the bridge is not in use, each adjacent zone functions as its own independent standard burner. The bridge element activates when the bridge control is selected on the range's control panel.
What is a haliant element and how is it different from a standard radiant element?
A haliant (also called halogent or exposed coil radiant) element uses resistance wire that is partially exposed on the surface of the element body, rather than sheathed inside a smooth glass tube. Both types heat the glass-ceramic surface above them, but haliant elements tend to heat up faster and can reach higher surface temperatures than sheathed radiant elements. Minor surface cracks in the element's glass material do not affect heating performance — the resistance wire is what generates heat, and it functions independently of the outer covering.
How do I test if the bridge element has failed?
The most reliable test is a continuity check with a multimeter. Unplug the range, lift the cooktop, and disconnect the element's terminal wires. Probe the element's terminal connections with a multimeter set to resistance mode. A working element will show a resistance reading (typically between 10–100 ohms for the heating coil). An open circuit (no continuity / infinite resistance) confirms the element has burned out. You can also visually inspect the haliant wire for visible breaks, dark spots, or melted areas — any visible break in the wire confirms failure.
Why is it important to photograph the terminal wiring before removing the old element?
Bridge elements have multiple terminal connections for the dual power settings (1800W and 2600W). The wires must be connected to the correct terminals on the new element to ensure both power levels work correctly. If the wires are connected in the wrong order, the element may not heat at all, heat only on one setting, or may not be protected by the correct thermal limiter. Always take a clear photo of the old element's terminal connections before disconnecting anything, and use that photo as a reference when connecting the new element.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications. It is the exact same bridge surface element installed in compatible Frigidaire and Electrolux ranges from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.

XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat
The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F is an aftermarket replacement dryer rear hi-limit heater thermostat compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. The hi-limit thermostat is a safety switch mounted on the heater housing that monitors the temperature at the heating element. If the heater temperature exceeds the safe operating limit, the thermostat opens its contacts to cut power to the heating element, protecting the dryer and its contents from overheating. When cooled, the thermostat resets automatically — but if it fails internally, it may remain open permanently, causing the dryer to produce no heat despite the thermal fuse and other components being intact.
Rated L125-31C, 250V, 25A, this 3-terminal thermostat measures 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H with approximately 1-5/8" between mounting holes (center to center). It is constructed from metal and plastic in gray/black and mounts directly on the heater housing. It directly replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482, and PD00023316. Often replaced together with the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse — both mount on the heater housing and work as a system to protect the dryer from overheating. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The XPARTCO 6931EL3001F Dryer Hi-Limit Thermostat fixes LG and Kenmore dryers with no heat where the thermostat has failed open. Rated L125-31C, 250V/25A, 3 terminals. 2"L x 1-3/4"W x 1-1/4"H, ~1-5/8" between mounting holes. Mounts on heater housing. Test with multimeter — should show closed continuity at room temperature. Often replaced together with 6931EL3003D thermal fuse. Replaces 1377779, AP5072172, AH3530482, EA3530482, EAP3530482, PS3530482.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
Dryer produces no heat — hi-limit thermostat has failed open and is permanently interrupting the heater circuit
Dryer takes much longer than normal to dry a load
Dryer tumbles normally but generates no heat during the cycle
No heat even after the thermal fuse has already been replaced — thermostat also failed
Dryer overheating intermittently — thermostat not opening at the correct temperature
Multimeter test shows open circuit (no continuity) across the thermostat at room temperature

If your part number is not listed above, contact our support team before ordering and we will verify compatibility.
Compatibility
This hi-limit thermostat is compatible with select LG and Kenmore electric and gas dryers. Compatible models include LG DLE, DLG, DLEX, DLGX, and DLB series dryers, and Kenmore 796-series dryers built on the LG platform.

Kenmore / Sears dryers — 796-series (LG-built models)
Tip: When replacing the 6931EL3001F thermostat, also replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse at the same time. Both mount on the heater housing and are commonly replaced together — an overheating event that causes one to fail typically stresses both.
Key Features
Hi-limit heater thermostat — safety switch that cuts power to the heating element if heater temperature exceeds safe limits

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Dryer and Shut Off Gas Before Starting Disconnect power (and shut off gas for gas dryers) before beginning. Remove the back panel of the dryer by unscrewing the perimeter screws to access the heater housing. The 6931EL3001F thermostat is mounted on the heater housing — it is the 3-terminal component with gray/black housing. Before removing it, test it with a multimeter: disconnect the wires and probe the terminals. At room temperature a working thermostat shows closed continuity. An open reading confirms failure. Photograph the 3-wire connections before disconnecting — reconnecting in the correct positions is important. Remove the 2 mounting screws and lift the old thermostat off. Install the new thermostat in the same position with the 2 mounting screws and reconnect the wires in the same positions. While the heater housing is accessible, also test and replace the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse if needed. Reinstall the back panel, restore power, and run a test heat cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, multimeter.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the 6931EL3001F thermostat and the 6931EL3003D thermal fuse?
Both are mounted on the heater housing and protect the dryer from overheating, but they work differently. The 6931EL3001F is a resettable hi-limit thermostat rated L125-31C — it opens when the heater temperature gets too high and resets automatically when cooled. The 6931EL3003D is a one-time thermal fuse that permanently interrupts the circuit if the temperature exceeds its rated limit — once blown, it cannot reset and must be replaced. Both should show closed continuity at room temperature when working. Because both are on the heater housing and experience the same thermal stress, replacing both at the same time is recommended.
How do I test the 6931EL3001F thermostat with a multimeter?
Unplug the dryer and disconnect all three wires from the thermostat terminals. Set your multimeter to continuity or resistance mode. At room temperature, a working 6931EL3001F thermostat should show closed continuity (near-zero resistance) across its contacts. If your multimeter reads open circuit (no continuity / OL), the thermostat has failed and needs replacement. Since this thermostat auto-resets when cooled, always test at room temperature — testing while the dryer is still warm may give a false open reading if the thermostat has legitimately opened due to heat.
My LG dryer has no heat but the thermal fuse is good — could it be the thermostat?
Yes — when the thermal fuse tests good but there is still no heat, the hi-limit thermostat (6931EL3001F) is the next most common culprit. A thermostat that has failed internally may remain permanently open even at room temperature, cutting power to the heating element exactly as a blown thermal fuse would. Test the thermostat with a multimeter for continuity. Also check the cycling thermostat (6931EL3002M) and the thermistor (6323EL2001B) — all three are part of the LG dryer thermal control system and any one of them can cause a no-heat condition.
What does the "L125-31C" rating mean?
The L125-31C rating describes the thermostat's operating parameters. L125 means the thermostat opens (trips) when the temperature reaches approximately 125°C (257°F). The 31 indicates the reset differential — the thermostat resets when the temperature drops approximately 31°C below the trip point, around 94°C (201°F). This rating ensures the thermostat allows the heater to operate at normal drying temperatures while protecting against dangerous overheating.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement part built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a genuine LG OEM part, but is manufactured from metal and plastic to match the L125-31C rating, dimensions, and 3-terminal configuration of the original 6931EL3001F hi-limit heater thermostat.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Let the Bulb Cool Completely Before Touching — Unplug Microwave Before replacing the bulb, unplug the microwave (or disconnect power at the breaker for hardwired range hoods) and allow the old bulb to cool completely — incandescent appliance bulbs run very hot, and the glass can stay hot for several minutes after the light is turned off. For an over-the-range microwave's interior light, the bulb is typically accessed through a small panel or by removing a screw-on cover inside the microwave cavity. For under-cabinet/exterior lights, access the bulb by removing the protective cover or vent grille on the bottom of the microwave or range hood. Unscrew the old bulb counterclockwise and dispose of it safely. Screw in the new XPIBE1740 bulb clockwise — hand-tight only, do not over-tighten. Avoid touching the glass envelope of the new bulb with bare fingers; skin oils on the glass can shorten bulb life. If you must touch the glass, wipe it down with a clean cloth before powering the appliance back on. Replace the cover, restore power, and confirm the light works. Tools needed: none for most models, or a small Phillips screwdriver if a panel/cover must be removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I need an E17, E26, or E12 base bulb?
The "E" number refers to the screw base diameter in millimeters. E17 (intermediate) is 17mm — the most common size for over-the-range microwave interior lights, range hood lights, and many appliance lights. E26 (medium/standard) is 26mm — typical household light bulbs (do NOT fit appliance sockets). E12 (candelabra) is 12mm — used for chandelier and decorative bulbs. E14 (European intermediate) is 14mm — common in Europe but rare in U.S. appliances. The XPIBE1740 is an E17 intermediate base. If your old bulb is noticeably smaller or larger than what you're holding, it's the wrong base — confirm by comparing dimensions or checking your appliance manual before ordering.
Can I use an LED bulb instead of this incandescent one?
In many appliances, yes — LED appliance bulbs with E17 intermediate bases are available and use significantly less power for similar brightness. However, LED bulbs sometimes have compatibility issues with the dimming/HIGH-LOW settings on microwaves, can flicker, or may not work with the appliance's lighting control circuit. The XPIBE1740 incandescent bulb is fully dimmable and a guaranteed direct match to the original appliance bulb's behavior. If you prefer LED for energy savings, confirm the LED is rated for appliance use, has an E17 base, and is dimmable for microwave applications before substituting.
My LG microwave's bulb says 30W — does this 40W bulb fit?
Physically, yes — both the 30W and 40W bulbs use the same E17 intermediate base and similar T8 shape. However, some LG microwave models specifically call for a 30W bulb (such as the 6912W1Z004B variant). Using a 40W bulb in a socket rated for 30W may cause the bulb to run hotter than designed, shortening its life or the surrounding socket components' life. Check your LG microwave's manual or the marking on the old bulb — if it specifies 30W, use a 30W bulb. The XPIBE1740 is 40W, suitable for the majority of microwaves that specify 40W bulbs.
Why do appliance bulbs burn out faster than regular household bulbs?
Appliance bulbs operate in harsher environments than typical household bulbs — high temperatures (microwaves and range hoods can hit 480°F nearby), heavy vibration from cooking appliances, repeated rapid on-off cycling, and frequent thermal shock from cooking steam. Even though they're rated for 1,000 hours of operation, real-world life in an appliance is often shorter than the same incandescent bulb in a household lamp. Buying multi-packs and replacing when one burns out is a common approach. Always allow the appliance to cool before swapping the bulb, and don't touch the new glass with bare fingers to maximize service life.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is an aftermarket replacement bulb built to OEM-equivalent quality standards. It is not a branded GE, Whirlpool, or LG OEM bulb, but is manufactured to match the dimensions (T8, 1" × 2-3/8"), electrical specifications (40W, 125V, E17 base), brightness (400 lumens, warm white), and dimmable performance of the original appliance bulbs it replaces. Bulb spec compatibility (not brand) is what determines fit, so a properly specified aftermarket bulb performs identically to the OEM.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Turn Off Power at Breaker Before Starting — This Is a 240V Oven Circuit — Wear Work Gloves Disconnect power at the household breaker before beginning — this is a 240V circuit and there is a serious risk of electrical shock if power is not fully disconnected. Verify power is off with a voltage tester before touching any wiring. Wear work gloves and safety glasses. Allow the oven to cool completely before beginning (several hours after any recent cooking). The high limit thermostat is typically mounted on the rear or side of the oven cavity, accessed by removing the back panel of the appliance (for freestanding ranges) or the front trim/service panel (for wall ovens). The exact location varies by model — consult your appliance's service diagram before starting. Photograph all wire connections and mounting details before disconnecting anything. Disconnect the wire terminals from the old thermostat (typically two spade-terminal wires). Remove the mounting screws or clips holding the thermostat to the oven cavity, and lift it out. Install the new WP4449751 in the exact same position and orientation — the thermostat must be in good thermal contact with the oven cavity to function correctly. Secure the mounting hardware and reconnect the wires to their correct terminals. Reinstall the access panels. Restore power at the breaker and test the oven — start with a low-temperature bake cycle to confirm normal heating operation before running a high-temperature or self-clean cycle. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver, 1/4" nut driver, voltage tester (essential), work gloves, safety glasses.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why did my high limit thermostat trip in the first place?
A high limit thermostat trips because the oven exceeded its safe operating temperature — meaning something upstream in the temperature control chain failed to shut off the heating element when it should have. Common causes are: a failed oven control board (relay stuck closed), a failed cooling fan (allowing the oven cavity or electronics to overheat), blocked or restricted ventilation, poor door sealing (letting the cavity overheat), disrupted air circulation, or an abnormal self-cleaning cycle. Before installing the new thermostat, investigate and address the underlying cause — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again in short order. Also inspect the ventilation, oven door gasket, and cooling fan while you have the appliance open.
What's the difference between a high limit thermostat and the operating thermostat?
These are two different components serving two different roles. The operating thermostat (or the oven control board with its temperature sensor) is the primary component that maintains the oven at your set temperature by cycling the heating element on and off during normal operation — it opens and closes at your selected temperature (e.g., 350°F). The high limit thermostat (WP4449751) is a backup safety device that only trips when the oven temperature far exceeds normal operation (335°F over the cavity's safe threshold), typically because the operating thermostat or control has failed. If the high limit thermostat trips, both need to be checked — the operating thermostat may also need replacement.
Does the high limit thermostat reset itself, or does it need to be replaced after tripping?
The WP4449751 is an auto-reset thermostat — it closes automatically once the oven cools back to a safe temperature, allowing normal operation to resume. If your oven is heating normally again after cooling, the thermostat is likely still functional (the underlying overheating cause needs investigation). However, if the thermostat has failed permanently open — often the result of repeated overheat events or age — it will need replacement. Test with a multimeter set to continuity: a working thermostat shows continuity at room temperature. If it reads open (infinite resistance) when cold, it has failed and needs replacement.
Why does my self-cleaning cycle leave the oven door locked and the oven won't heat?
This is a classic symptom of a high limit thermostat that tripped during the self-clean cycle. Self-cleaning cycles run at extreme temperatures (800–1000°F) and stress every component in the oven — if the ventilation, door gasket, or cooling fan can't keep up, the high limit thermostat will trip open. Once tripped, the oven can't heat OR unlock the self-clean door lock mechanism, leaving the door stuck closed. Once the thermostat cools and closes (or is replaced), the door lock releases and normal operation resumes. If self-clean cycles routinely trip the thermostat, investigate whether the ventilation, cooling fan, or door gasket are causing the problem.
Can I do this repair myself, or should I hire a technician?
Replacing an oven high limit thermostat is a manageable DIY repair for someone comfortable with mechanical work and electrical connections, but this is a 240V circuit and the thermostat is a safety component — any error can create a serious safety risk. If you have experience with appliance repair, follow the safety precautions carefully (breaker off, voltage tester, correct thermostat orientation), and can confirm the wiring connections are secure, this is a feasible DIY. If you've never worked with 240V appliance circuits before, hiring a qualified appliance technician is the safer option. Also identify and address whatever caused the original overheat event — otherwise the new thermostat will trip again.
