This dual radiant surface element sits beneath the glass cooktop and provides two heating zones to match your pan size. Replacing a failed element restores fast, even heating and proper control on the affected burner.

• Heats cookware via two concentric radiant circuits beneath the glass-ceramic surface
• Lets you select inner, outer, or both rings for small or large pans (via the burner control)
• Cycles with its internal limiter to maintain the temperature you set
• Common symptoms: no heat, only one ring heats, uneven or slow heating

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Lift/remove the glass cooktop to access elements; support the glass to prevent stress or cracks
• Transfer wiring and any mounting brackets from the old element to the new one, moving one connection at a time and documenting positions
• Test the burner for proper operation before reassembly

The Haliant Element is an OEM part for GE ranges. It is a high-performance radiant heating element used in the stovetop, designed to provide consistent and efficient heat for cooking. This element heats up quickly and delivers precise temperature control for various cooking tasks.

Over time, the Haliant element can wear out due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, physical damage, or electrical issues. When the element becomes faulty, it can significantly impact the range's cooking performance.

Symptoms of a bad Haliant element include:

• The burner not heating up
• Uneven heating or hot spots
• Visible damage or breaks in the element
• The element cycling on and off irregularly

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Clear Tape is an OEM part for GE cooktops. This specialized tape is used to secure and protect various components of the cooktop, including glass panels and control assemblies. It ensures that these components stay in place during operation and helps maintain the cooktop's structural integrity.
