Customer Questions and Answers for Surface Heating Element (8" Round) by Frigidaire

This surface heating element replaces a failed cooktop coil to restore even, reliable heating for electric ranges. Designed to match original fit and electrical connections for straightforward replacement. What it does:

• Heats cookware when the range control is turned on to provide consistent cooking temperatures.
• Commonly replaces elements that fail to heat, heat intermittently, or do not reach expected temperatures.
• Also used when an element shows visible damage, burning, or breaks at the coil or terminals.
• Works with the range's existing burner receptacle and infinite switch to deliver power to the cooktop.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before starting any repair.
• Allow the cooktop to cool completely to avoid burns; wear gloves to protect hands from sharp edges.
• Remove the old element by gently lifting and pulling it from the terminal block; align and seat the replacement terminals fully.
• Do not overtighten nearby fasteners; verify proper electrical connection and that the element sits flat in the cooktop before restoring power.
