How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2021501 / WB17X5051 Terminal Block Assembly

I replaced one terminal block assembly for each burner that would not function. There was no video on the site to follow, but the replacement was fairly intuitive. After turning the stove circuit breaker off, the old assemblies were easily removed by unscrewing each bracket screw with a philips screwdriver. The clip that holds the insulating paper needed to be removed to reveal the two philip screws that hold the contact leads for each block assembly. Once the leads were removed, it was a simple matter to attach them to the new assembly block, put in place the new insulating paper by using the clip to hold the insulating papers in place, and reattaching the bracket to the stove top. The instructions provided with the assembly blocks were cryptic but sufficient. 

After confirming the voltage, located the CORRECT parts on appliancepartspros.com and replaced them. The connectors were really shot. The elements might have been useful but my wife was in no mood for experimentation. Works fine. The challenge was the age of the stove - no one (but GE) recognized the model number. GE got me the part number of one of the elements and applianceparts...'s descriptions brought it all together. Good job ApplianceParts!! Note that GE couldn't give me all the part numbers I needed because they only list the ones they have for sale. If they're out of stock and out of production they never existed in GE computers. 

Contacted appliance Parts pro. My part was not listed on their website- too old. They send my model number to their research group- who found my part numbers and had the parts- but the receptacle was the last one in stock and has been discontinued by the manufacturer. I received and installed the parts- works fine. 

Stove is 30 years old and this is the third time I replaced the block terminals and elements .this is a very easy fix. Unplug stove remove old elements and catch pans, remove block terminals and two wires install new. Took about half hour. 

One lead of the terminal block assembly had broken (stove is 25 years old). Simple repair of replacing the assembly (not available locally). Ordered the part and had it the next day. 

Replaced terminal block assembly 

I purchased the burners, elements and terminal blocks. The video did not help since my GE stove was a different configuration. I took the stove apart and replaced all of the terminal blocks and surface elements on the cook top. I then replaced the oven and broiler elements. The stove works as if it were brand new. When I tried the back left surface elements I noticed that the heat could not be adjusted using the knob. I will order a new control assembly for that burner.
