The Unit Surface 6" is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It is specifically designed to provide consistent, reliable heating for cooking. This 6-inch electric coil surface element is responsible for generating the heat necessary to cook food on the stove. It plugs into the range top and is powered by electricity to heat up to the desired temperature, controlled by the range's knobs. 3 - wire, 1350w, hi-rise, no ring - Note: Comes with ceramic block, terminals and screws.
Common causes for these issues include prolonged use, which can naturally wear out the element, and spills or overflows from pots and pans, which can corrode or short-circuit the component.

- Element not heating up at all, indicating a possible burnout or electrical issue.

- Visible damage such as blistering, cracks, or breaks in the coil.
- Difficulty fitting into the socket, suggesting warping or other physical damage.
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
