Repair & Advice
Long story short: My range specifies 316418400 as replacement for 7in rear dual burner but Frigidaire obsoleted the part. They recommend replacement 316555800 which is a 9in burner which doesn't fit. Searching discussion boards someone suggested this as substitute and it fits perfectly (well some mounting adjustment was needed but wasn't problem).
I replaced the wires exactly as was physically and didn't work. Then researched problem and noted others had similar issues. Key was to actually wire by reference marking not position. Wiring by label solved problem and everything works! A little scary moving the wires around but just follow the labels (remember to take picture before disassembly). Element configuration slightly different but end result is just about the same. Good as new!
