The Convection Relay Board is an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) part integral to many Frigidaire, Electrolux, and Sears-Kenmore products, specifically engineered for Frigidaire range models. It is responsible for energizing the convection fan and heating components, thus optimizing baking efficiency.
Over extended periods, electromagnetic interference, particularly from convection fan motors, can impair the board's performance, often requiring its replacement to maintain optimal functionality. The board's proper operation is crucial to ensuring consistent air circulation during cooking.
The primary reason for such malfunctions is the gradual wear and tear on electromagnetic parts from prolonged use. This deterioration can result in airflow issues during complex cooking modes.
Indications of a malfunctioning relay board include:
- The fan failing to start or running incessantly
- Convection modes not aligning with the heating elements
- Error codes appearing or lack of response during preheating
Replacing a defective relay board with this OEM component from Frigidaire effectively reinstates correct air circulation control. It also fits select models from Electrolux, Gibson, and Kenmore ranges.
