How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP4344395 / WB30T10130 Haliant Element

Replaced the complete element and while removing the old one seen that one of the terminals had burned off so pitched the element and replaced the terminal on the wiring and installed the new element purchased fromAppliancePartsPros.com and now have a working element 

Found and ordered new element. Arrived in 2 days. Very reasonable priced. Removed old element and replaced with new one. Instructions on the wer site were good. I had a little trouble removing and replacing the clips that secured the element to the stove surface. 

I ordered a new heating element Halient 12 on line and replaced the bad one in 20 minutes. I watched a pregnant woman on Youtube do it so how could it be that hard? The trickiest part was finding a box to put under the top to hold it up while I worked under the top to replace the unit. A wrench and a screw driver is all I needed. It beats paying a repair professional or buying a new stove. 

Bought replacement element. Unplugged range. Removed 2 screws under range top and glass hinged up. Propped with 2x4. Noticed one of the spade connectors for the inner section of element was broken. Removed all connectors and used screwdriver to pry up the 2 clamps holding the element in place. Installed new element, making sure to line up small spikes on clamp connectors with holes in element (digs into ceramic material). Reconnected spade connectors after removing deteriorated heat shrink. Not sure what temp. heat shrink for those connectors should be rated up to, but whatever was there didn't cut it. Plugged back in and tested. Working fine now. 

Order part put in done 

Replaced burner element. Easy fix. Best to have extra hand holding element while aligning clip and installing screws, three hands is best. 

Replaced it 

Looked up the model of my range, found the appropriate element to be replaced via online manual, ordered part, replaced quickly after watching 5-min instructional video. 

Replacing the element. 

I checked YouTube for a repair video. It told me how to open the cooktop and access the element as well as how to disconnect the wires and find the model number of my range. I went on the ApplianceParts website and plugged in the model number. It came up with a section for the cooktop portion of the range. I found the part via a schematic and ordered it. It arrived withing 2-3 days and I had the range fixed in less than 1/2 hour. I had this done years ago and called an appliance repair shop - it cost me $400. This time I did it myself for $165.
