Customer Questions and Answers for Surface Element (Radiant) by Ge

This radiant surface element sits beneath a glass cooktop and supplies controlled heat to a single burner. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating and consistent cooking performance on the range top. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into radiant heat under the glass for one surface burner
• Works with the limiter/control to cycle and maintain set temperatures
• Typical symptoms: burner won't heat, heats intermittently, shuts off too soon, or trips the circuit when turned on
• Common diagnosis: element tests open (no continuity) with a multimeter

• 1 radiant surface element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift or open the glass top per your model's service information to access the element
• Note wire locations; transfer any mounting clips/brackets as needed and reconnect wires one at a time
• Handle the element carefully and seat it correctly before reassembly; test operation before closing up
