General Electric Cooktop Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

The Surface Unit Receptacle is an OEM part for GE cooktops and ranges. It is designed to hold and connect the surface heating element to the cooktop’s electrical system, providing a secure and reliable connection for the element to receive power.

Causes of a bad surface unit receptacle can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures, or electrical arcing. A malfunctioning receptacle can lead to improper heating element performance or electrical hazards.

Symptoms of a bad surface unit receptacle include:

• The heating element not heating up or only heating intermittently
• Visible damage or burn marks on the receptacle
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is in use
• The heating element feeling loose or not fitting securely in the receptacle

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

For the large 8-inch surface element order WB30M2. For the small 6-inch surface element order WB30M1.

The Element Receptacle and Wire Kit is an OEM part for GE ranges and ovens. It serves as a crucial component in connecting the heating element to the power source, ensuring that electricity can flow to the element for heating.

This kit typically includes a receptacle, wires, and possibly other connectors or hardware needed for installation. Proper connection via this kit is essential for the heating element to function correctly and efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad Element Receptacle and Wire Kit include:

• Heating element not heating properly or at all
• Burn marks or corrosion on the receptacle
• Visible damage or wear on the wires
• Intermittent heating, indicating a loose connection

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

This mounting bracket secures the surface element terminal block to the cooktop. Replacing a bent or missing bracket helps keep the coil element connection aligned and stable so the burner plugs in firmly during use.

• Provides a fixed mount for the surface element receptacle beneath the burner opening
• Helps prevent the terminal block from shifting, sagging, or rotating when inserting/removing the element
• Common symptoms include a loose or wobbly receptacle, element not seating fully, or visible bracket damage/missing bracket
• Replace if the bracket is bent, broken, or cannot hold the receptacle in position

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Remove the surface element and lift/open the cooktop to access the terminal block area
• Transfer the receptacle/terminal block onto the new bracket and secure with existing hardware, ensuring correct alignment
• The element prongs insert smoothly before restoring power

This terminal block provides a secure, heat-resistant junction for appliance wiring, ensuring stable power to the connected component. Replacing a damaged or charred block restores safe operation and helps prevent arcing, intermittent power, or failure.

• Creates a solid connection point between appliance wiring and the attached component
• Insulates and separates conductors to reduce shorts and arcing
• Helps deliver consistent power for reliable performance
• Replace if the block is cracked, burned, melted, or if terminals are loose
• Common symptoms include intermittent operation, no heat/run condition, visible scorching, or a burning odor

• Disconnect power at the breaker/fuse and verify no voltage is present before servicing
• Photograph or label wires; move one lead at a time to the matching terminals
• Tighten terminal screws/fasteners securely to ensure firm, low-resistance connections
• Inspect wire ends for heat damage and replace any compromised connectors with high-temperature, manufacturer-approved fittings

This double terminal block provides a secure connection point for two incoming power leads and the appliance harness, helping restore reliable electrical feed to heating and control circuits. Direct-replacement electrical mounting for affected ranges and ovens. What it does:

• Joins and secures two power supply conductors to the appliance wiring harness
• Restores interrupted power paths that can cause burners, elements, or controls not to heat or operate
• Prevents loose or corroded connections that lead to arcing or intermittent operation
• Matches original mounting and terminal spacing for a straightforward replacement

• One double terminal block

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug appliance before servicing to avoid shock
• Verify correct wire routing and tight, torqueed terminal screws; use a replacement screw if original is damaged
• Inspect adjacent wiring and connectors for heat damage; replace any compromised components

This male/female electrical terminal connects appliance wiring harnesses to components, restoring a secure, conductive connection for safe operation. Use when a bent, corroded, or loose terminal causes intermittent power or loss of function. What it does:

• Provides a stable male-to-female connection for wiring and component terminals
• Restores proper electrical contact to stop intermittent power, arcing, or poor connection
• Replaces damaged, corroded, or bent terminal ends to improve safety and reliability
• Works where a direct spade/quick-disconnect style mating is required

• One male/female terminal assembly

• Always disconnect power to the appliance before inspecting or replacing electrical parts
• Use proper crimping or fastening tools; avoid exposed wire or loose connections
