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.

Symptoms of a bad Unit Surface 6" include:

  • Element not heating up at all, indicating a possible burnout or electrical issue.
  • Heating unevenly, which could signal problems with the coil or its connection.
  • Visible damage such as blistering, cracks, or breaks in the coil.

CD, Raising or removing the cooktop panel isn't necessary, but makes it a bit easier to work with in, some cases. You do want to make sure you remove power to the range before you do anything. Locate the element retainer screw, along the edge of the burner opening and remove it. Raise and slide the element up and out of the cooktop, until the attachment terminals are accessible, label the wires and remove the screws and wires from the element terminals. Reverse the procedure to install the wires and element, Restore power and test the element(s) for operation.

Patrick for Model Number J43701WH

Looking to replace heating elements on a GE J43701WH electric stove. Your 6" element WB30X342 (AP#2027827) appears to have the proper connections. It is listed as delivering 1350W. Wiring diagram for the oven shows that one of the 6" elements delivers 1250W while the other delivers 1425W. Are these elements available or do I need to replace both with the 1350W. Any safety/operational concerns in upping the 1250W to 1350W? Have the same issue with the 8" elements. Your WB30X341 (AP#2634783) delivers 2450W while wiring diagram shows 2050W and 2405W for the existing units. Is that an issue?

1 Answer

Patrick, This element would be correct for your unit and will work with no issues.

Ed for Model Number jcs560w4wh

A few minutes ago you were kind enough to give me the part numbers for the surface elements on this range. In looking at the photos accompanying the part, a four wire configuration is reflected in the photos. The current elements on this range only have two wires encased in the ceramic shields. Is your part a multiple use element for different wiring requirements? Or, possibly the photo is not of the actual part? Just don't want to order the wrong part. Again, thanks.

1 Answer

ED, Based on the model number [JCS560W4WH] and your description of the elements, you have the wrong part numbers. The six(6)" surface elements should be WB30X359 / WB30x359, and the eight(8)" surface elements should be WB30X348 / WB30X348. Review the part photos in the AppliancePartsPros.com parts order screen and verify the elements are similar to the ones on your range, then order the parts. The parts are in stock and available at this time. Thanks,
