This surface heating element replaces a failed warm zone on an electric cooktop or range, restoring the low-temperature heating area used for keeping food warm. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible units. What it does:

• Provides the low-temperature "warm zone" heating needed to keep plates and dishes warm
• Heats at lower temperatures than main burners for gentle warming
• Commonly used when the warm area does not heat or maintain temperature
• Helps correct symptoms like a cold or intermittently heating warm zone, or uneven warming

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Allow the cooktop to be completely cool and handle glass or ceramic surfaces carefully
• Follow your appliance's service manual for safe removal and installation; use basic hand tools
• Do not install if the cooktop glass is cracked or damaged—replace the glass top first

This is a replacement surface heating element for electric cooktops that restores high-heat performance and reliable stovetop cooking. The 3200W Hyper design provides strong heat output for everyday boiling and frying needs. What it does:

Causes of a bad surface element can include normal wear and tear, electrical faults, or damage from cookware. Over time, repeated heating and cooling cycles can cause the element to degrade, while physical impacts or spills can also lead to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• Inconsistent or uneven heating
• The element not heating up at all
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• Sparks or unusual noises when the element is turned on

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
