General Electric Range Terminal Block, Receptacle Parts

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. This kit replaces the points of connection delivering power to control circuits and surface coil elements atop the cooktop.  

Causes of failure are prolonged heat cycling which slowly breaks down solder joints and insulator coating on terminals conducting power. Liquids spilled can seep into connection areas over time promoting electrical faults.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate specific burners   
• Burners that glow intermittently or fail to respond
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use of problematic zones  
• Buzzing or cracking noises from under cooktop areas

This genuine GE kit is also compatible with Hotpoint and RCA electric ranges.

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. 

The Terminal Block Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE electric stoves. It acts as the central wiring connection hub, routing power to critical heating components such as the oven bake/broil elements and stovetop burners. 

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include: 

• Intermittent or unpredictable burner/heating element operation 
• Inability to achieve proper cooking temperatures
• Buzzing or crackling noises from inside the stove cabinet  

Causes stem from normal wear over time, as vibration and heat cycling can cause cracks or corrosion in the block's electrical connections.

This OEM GE part is compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore electric stove models.

The Range Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It contains screw terminals that connect internal wiring throughout the range. The terminal block facilitates safe and reliable power transfer between critical components such as the control panel, heating elements, timers, and temperature sensors.

Causes of a faulty terminal block can include normal wear over time loosening wire connections, water exposure leading to corrosion, or physical damage from force or impact.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Intermittent or complete failure of bake, broil, or surface heating elements
• Fault codes or error messages related to electrical malfunctions
• Loose, frayed, or broken wire connections inside the range
• Components like the control panel or timers not operating correctly

This OEM GE part also fits Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore electric ranges.

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for GE electric ranges. It serves as a critical junction point where the range's wiring connects to the heating elements, ensuring proper electrical flow and operation of the oven and cooktop. This component is essential for the safe and efficient functioning of your appliance.

Causes of a bad terminal block can include overheating due to electrical surges, corrosion from prolonged exposure to heat and moisture, or physical damage from improper installation or handling.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• The oven or burners not heating properly
• Visible signs of burn marks or corrosion on the block
• Electrical arcing or sparking
• Intermittent or no power to the heating elements

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

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
