How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3203326 / WB17T10006 Surface Burner Terminal Block Kit

Replaced part. 

Husband put the block kit on it. 

The previous owner had replaced the original reflector pans with universal replacements. Which did not allow for the correct angle of the heating element. Resulting in misallignment which caused the right front connection to arc which burnt the end of the wires. Replacing with the correct parts has given me an almost new stove. 

Replaced the terminal blocks and wires on 2 of the burners and the switch for one. Simple, had replaced terminal block previously and @ 76 have repaired almost everything. Videos are great. 

I purchased a terminal block kit from AppliancePartsPros. Ordered part as a kit, received kit with in two working days. AppliancePartsPros provided a video on their website. Followed the instructions on video and the task was finished with minimal knowledge, just follow the video instructions. 

My 10-year-old stove burners no longer made good connections and often wouldn't heat up when turned on. I intended to just replace the range until I started reading about the new Sensi-Temp/Safe-T-Element burners.. (Starting in 2018, UL regulation requires all coil top ranges to have temperature limiting capabilities to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires). People are apparently having to purchase countertop hot plates just to boil water, so I decided to repair the old range and try to get a few more years out of it. Thinking the problem lay in the terminal blocks, I had previously paid an appliance repair company to replace all the terminal blocks, but the problem persisted, especially with one of the large elements. After reading in an appliance repair forum that I needed to replace the heating element and the terminal block together, that's what I did. The actual repair was a piece of cake and went exactly how the appliancepartspros.com video said it would. A nut driver removed the old terminal block, and needle-nosed pliers removed the spade terminals from the rear of the burner switch. I couldn't see how the wires were threaded through the back of the stove so while the old wire was still in place, I taped the end of the new wire to the end of the old wire, then pulled the new wire through as I removed the old wire. The new element works perfectly, and I plan to replace the other three elements and terminal blocks next. 

I pulled the cook top up as if you would clean it and then unplugged the range. I removed the burner and old block. I followed the wires to where the block connectors connected in the back panel of range and removed rear plate. I pulled the old block and wires out and fished new block wires through the back and connected them. Then installed the block where the burner connected to it. Installed back plate and new burner and bowl. 

I think I spent more time cleaning the floor under the range than I did removing and replacing the "infinite" control switches. Changing switches was easy peasy! 

I replaced the infinite switch. 

I ordered new parts, everyone was very helpful and to my surprise, the parts came the very next day. I am very happy with the service and the parts. Appliance Parts Pros are number 1.
