• Helps resolve no-heat, stuck-on-high, won't-turn-off, or erratic/uneven heat issues
• Often controls the surface "on" indicator light circuit; failure may affect the light
• Installs behind the control knob and connects to the existing wire harness

• Disconnect power at the breaker; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove the knob and access panel to reach the switch
• Photograph wiring and transfer wires to the same labeled terminals (commonly L1, L2, H1, H2, P)
• Reassemble, restore power, and test multiple heat settings; check the element and wiring

This surface heating element replaces a damaged or worn top burner coil to restore cooking heat on electric ranges. It installs into the stove's cooktop receptacle and provides a reliable heating surface for pots and pans. What it does:

• Heats cookware on the cooktop for boiling, frying and simmering
• Restores power to a burner that no longer heats or only heats intermittently
• Replaces elements with visible breaks, burn spots, or inconsistent temperature
• Works with the range's burner receptacle to complete the heating circuit

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or unplug before servicing.
• Replace by lifting the cooktop or removing the element from its receptacle per your model's service instructions.
• Ensure terminals are fully seated and secured; inspect wiring and receptacle for damage and replace if necessary.
