How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2021559 / WB17X5113 Surface Unit Receptacle

After watching your how-to video - my repair went real smooth! thanks for everything - did it exactly like the video and everything turned out perfect. 

Your video was vary helpful, letting me know what to expect. I fixed 2 burners with vary little problem. I have done electrical work before. Never used the shrink stuff before. Had a little problem with the shrink stuff because I used a propane unit that was a little hot but I got it done. Took about 2 hours because I took my time and had interruptions. I used a wire skinner, diagonal cutter, screw driver, propane heater. It works fine. I have been popping corn and making oat meal with no problems. I wished I had ordered some new pans that go under the 4 burners. 

On our electric range, the burner that we use the most (and also unplug to clean once in a while) was sometimes not coming on until I wiggled the burner to make the contacts connect. Found the replacement part (burner socket) on AppliancePartsPros.com and ordered it. Came in two days, even without the expedited delivery. The fix was pretty simple. The instructions packed with the new socket were very faint (looked like a copy of a copy of …) but there was also an online video. Between the two, I was able to replace the socket in about 15 minutes with no surprises. I like that! 

I purchased a new 8" surface element and a new receptacle. It took me about 30 minutes to replace the receptacle because my stove top did not tip up as per the video. I had to take out 4 small screws on the front under side so I could lift the range top up to get to the wires to splice together. Everything else went fantastic and I can't say enough good things about it and the instruction video. 

It was fixed with a surface unit receptacle. The instruction video on appliancepartspro was excellent and guided me through the repair. 

I replaced the surface unit receptacle 

I ordered and installed GE part WB17X5113 from AppliancePartsPros.com Mounting clip for this pa the rt wasn't correct for my stove We couldn't put the new receptacle in bracket from my stove as suggested in the instructions. Managed to complete the installation by modifying the frame but took a lot longer than it should have In hindsight I would have been better off ordering universal part 330031. 

My nephew did the repair on Tuesday. Thanks for your rep's help on the phone. 

Your video helped a lot. I did not have any issue fixing it. It works well now. Thanks and keep up with the good work. 

Ordered the part and replaced it.
