Hello Brandon, This is called the surface burner receptacle 814399. Be sure to sand the terminal ends of the element that plug into it so a good circuit is established and it doesn't burn up the new part.

Hello Mildred. Get the model number off the cartridge to get you the correct element for the unit. WP660532 should work, but it is best to be sure with the model number.

Don for Model Number rf315pxpq0

I'm helping a friend replace her burner elements both 6 inch and 8 inch. All four of the existing ones are no longer level. A pan will not sit on them flat anymore and they don't sit correctly I'm sure. I have no idea what happened to cause this however I don't want to install them wrong. Is there something she did wrong in replacing them after cleaning each time that might be the problem? She's a sweetheart and has no clue what she might have done.

Hello Don, There is no way anyone caused the elements to malform. This is a characteristic of the elements and the actual cause is the high temperature.
