Frigidaire GCCE3049A Electric Cooktop Repair
Most common issues on this model
- PowerPlus element that is slow to reach heat
- Dual expandable element where one ring stays cold
- Backlit knobs that do not light
- Switch connections behind the knobs
The GCCE3049A is a 30-inch Gallery electric cooktop with a PowerPlus element, a 2-in-1 dual expandable element and backlit LED knobs. An S at the end of the number marks another version.
The PowerPlus element is the larger, higher-output element, and it is the first one we test when water takes longer than before to boil. The dual expandable element has an inner and an outer ring, so a cold ring means testing that ring’s coil and its switch position. The backlit knobs add a small lighting circuit, which we check on its own if a knob stays dark.
This cooktop is often installed in a kitchen where the old one was swapped for something wider, so it helps to know how it is wired and supported. We take the model and serial from the label under the cooktop, then explain what needs replacing and what it costs.

What does the PowerPlus element do differently?
It is listed as the higher-output element on this cooktop. For service, that means we check it first when boiling slows, since a weak coil or terminal shows up there.
One ring of the dual element stays cold. Is the element bad?
One of the two coils or its switch contact may have failed. We test both to find the open one, so you are quoted the specific part.
Why do my backlit knobs not light up?
The light circuit is separate from the heating circuit. We check its connection and the light itself, and tell you if the knob assembly is available for your number.
