Ge WB30X38934 Dual Radiant Surface Element (9-Inch), Kit OEM Part

I wasn't sure of the problem, but after reading a lot on appliancepartspros.com on my model and symptoms, I narrowed it down to the dual burner selector switch or the Dual element. I didn't have a lot of time to take everything apart to diagnose it, so I ordered both items. The parts came quickly and was competitively priced (Amazon was slightly cheaper, but didn't offer the same return policy). As a typical man, I didn't read the instructions, because I have an electronics and computer background. It was easy to take apart the top range, glass and metal housing containing the switches as well as the burner placeholders. I replaced both items just so I wouldn't have to worry about it again (it was broken for a few weeks and it really sucks trying to cook on the little burners with large pots) I cleaned all of the remaining switches and tested the new switch and burner for continuity with my multimeter. I did see a visible break in the heating element from the old part in the smaller coil of the dual burner set which was why it died in the first place. I put everything back together minus all the screws so I could test it and it worked like a charm. I put all the screws back in, remounted the glasstop and voila! Working burners again! What really helped was the comments and feedback on appliancepartspros.com site! Thank you thank you! NOTE: after putting everything back together and testing, I was about to throw away the instructions and instead I opened and read it, and it said that I needed to clip a center terminal, attach the wire that came in the new packaging with my replacement burner and rewire it. The new burner did have a different wiring config, but everything went back together without a hitch and my stovetop has been working for a few weeks now. I'm not sure why the instructions wanted me to clip a lead from the stove wiring and connect it to a service lead prior to installation of the new burner.... maybe someone can shed some light on this? Like I said, it has been working for a few weeks now with no issues. Should I rewire that burner as indicated?

I found the part on AppliancePartsPros.com (not easy, as my part number didn't match, but found the image eventually), ordered it. It arrived in a few days. It was relatively easy to replace. The wiring had changed slightly (my stovetop is rather old), but I was able to figure it out from the installation sheet. I was very satisfied with AppliancePartsPros.com.
