If just one of the burners on your cooktop isn\u2019t working right, it\u2019s probably either the heating element itself or the receptacle block that supplies power to it.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing a heating element is easy enough, but what about that terminal block beneath the stove? Luckily, it\u2019s a quick job, too! It's one you can do yourself with a few basic tools and a good guide, which we\u2019re supplying today.

Your electric range will have as many burner receptacle blocks as it has individual calrod heating elements on the cooktop. Each heating element plugs into one of these blocks, which hold the element in place while supplying it with power.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two pretty obvious tells that there\u2019s something wrong with one of the burner receptacles:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The element isn\u2019t heating up. <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This could be a constant or intermittent problem. You may also notice that a calrod element is heating, but struggling to maintain heat or never reaching the desired heat.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>The element won\u2019t stay in place; it\u2019s loose, sagging, or doesn\u2019t even connect to the receptacle.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> This is a bit rarer, but if there is considerable damage to a terminal block, it may no longer be able to properly connect to its corresponding heating element.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most often, range burner receptacles fail because the terminals in the receptacle have burnt out. You may notice a burning plastic smell when trying to use the stove (and if you do, stop using it immediately). If you do a visual inspection, you may find signs of scorching, as well.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding the right replacement burner receptacle<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Electric range burner receptacles are generally sold as part of a kit that may include the outer plastic block, interior contacts, wiring, and some other accessories like wire nuts. though there are plenty of universal receptacle block kits out there, if it\u2019s available to you, you should always opt for a genuine OEM replacement part \u2013 that way, you\u2019re guaranteed both quality and compatibility.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But, how do you find a compatible kit? Start with your range\u2019s model number. You\u2019ll find the full number on a sticker somewhere on the body of the appliance. Check the following places:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the oven interior, around the frame<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along the sides or inside of the bottom drawer<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Beneath the cooktop \u2013 you\u2019ll need to lift it up<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the sides or back of the oven<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the sticker is missing or illegible, you still have a few options. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-find-your-appliances-model-number\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We cover them in our full guide to appliance model numbers on our blog<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Whatever your methods for getting it, once you\u2019ve got that model number handy, type it into the search bar on our website. You\u2019ll get a list of parts that are compatible with your range, so you can shop easily knowing you only need to buy once.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to replace an electric range burner receptacle<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The video guide accompanying this article provides a demonstration of replacing the range burner receptacle on a Whirlpool electric range. Although the burner receptacle assembly is generally similar across many electric ranges, the steps for disassembling the cooktop to access the receptacle may vary from those outlined in this article.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you run into any differences between our guide and your range, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@appliancepartspros\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out our YouTube channel for additional range repair guides<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Failing that, consult your appliance manual. It should have diagrams that will illustrate how to reach interior components like the burner receptacle.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<b>Keep in mind, this tutorial is for electric ranges only.<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Issues with gas-powered ranges and induction cooktops will require different instructions and parts for repair. If you\u2019re having an issue with a gas-powered or induction cooktop, you may be able to find a solution in one of the many helpful tutorials on our YouTube channel linked above!<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools for the job<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gather these items before you begin to avoid interruptions!<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A compatible replacement burner receptacle or element receptacle kit (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/range-cooktop-oven-terminal-block-receptacle.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">have a look at the many options available on our site<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Phillips screwdriver<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wire cutter\/stripper<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lighter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Work gloves<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you begin<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For your safety, ensure that your range is off and disconnected from its power source before beginning any repairs. That means you should either unplug it from the wall outlet completely or flip the circuit breaker for it off while you\u2019re working. You should never perform repairs on an appliance that is receiving power, especially when working on its electrical components!<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to replace a range burner receptacle block<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set aside about fifteen minutes \u2013 thirty if you\u2019re not an experienced DIYer \u2013 to complete this task. We\u2019ll probably have you on your way faster than that, but it\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Step: Remove the heating element<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0010_Layer-1.png' attachment='2189' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-1bauk48' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-19op5go' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To complete this job, you should only need to remove the heating elements for the receptacle blocks you\u2019ll be replacing. Some ranges may require that you remove all heating elements to proceed, but you can try just removing one.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your range disconnected from power and completely cool, grip the calrod heating element and gently lift up and out. It should disconnect from the receptacle block easily. Once removed, give it a look over. Check for signs of scorching or bubbling on the coil itself and its terminals. If damaged, the heating element should also be replaced.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second Step: Remove the drip pan<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0009_Layer-2.png' attachment='2190' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-4g4d48' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-16t5vd4' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the heating element out of the way, you can remove the drip pan. On some models, the drip pan may be held in place by a screw, but this usually isn\u2019t the case. Simply lift the drip pan out and set it aside \u2013 or take this time to give it a thorough cleaning!<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third Step: Lift the top of the range<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0008_Layer-3.png' attachment='2191' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-14cbzwo' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-13ldpco' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know, most range tops lift up the way a car hood does? It\u2019s an easy way to clean any crumbs or spills that have gotten past the drip pans, and to repair and replace components like faulty burner receptacles.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To open the top, grip it on either side and lift it up. If your range is the type that has metal rods to stabilize it and keep it open, pull it up high enough that those lock into place.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fourth Step: Remove the receptacle block from the stovetop<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0007_Layer-4.png' attachment='2192' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-11y056w' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-zi6pgo' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The receptacle block is going to be held in place by a single screw. Grab your Phillips screwdriver to remove it, and hang onto the screw in case you need it when installing the new block.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fifth Step: Cut the old receptacle block out<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0006_Layer-5.png' attachment='2193' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-y74lt4' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-wyeiug' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<b>Be absolutely sure your range is not receiving power before completing this step! <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the old receptacle is detached from the underside of the cooktop, cut it free from the wiring system with your wire cutters\/strippers.<\/span>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0005_Layer-6.png' attachment='2194' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-uh2uyg' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-tf7h60' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With that done, you can use the strippers to strip the ends of the wires still attached to the range. You\u2019ll want to strip away about a half an inch of wire insulation.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sixth Step: Assemble the new terminal block<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0004_Layer-7.png' attachment='2195' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-qxt0yw' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-2kbiqw' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your receptacle block came disassembled, now\u2019s the time to put it together. The kit in our video came with two different brackets, and to proceed we selected the metal bracket that matched our old receptacle.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To assemble, slide the bracket onto the plastic terminal block. It\u2019ll snap into place. Then, push the wire terminals into the plastic block. These should lock in place, so once you\u2019ve pushed them in as far as they\u2019ll go, give each one a tug to make sure they don\u2019t come back out. If they\u2019re not staying secure, turn them around and try again.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Seventh Step: Attach the new terminal block to the range\u2019s wiring<\/span><\/h3>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/washertimer_0003_Layer-8.png' attachment='2196' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-2cz8uw' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-ls152w' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start by sliding one heat shrink tube over each of the oven-side wires. Then pair each of the new receptacle\u2019s wires to one of the oven-side wires and secure them with wire nuts.
