Amana Range GBE26DC Element will not heat

The Top Burner Receptacle Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops designed to provide a reliable electrical connection between the stove's top burners and the power source. This kit typically includes receptacles, wire terminals, and mounting hardware necessary for the installation, ensuring that each burner receives the proper electrical current to heat efficiently. 

Causes of a bad top burner receptacle can include corrosion due to spills or moisture, physical damage from heavy use, or natural wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Receptacle Kit include:

• A burner that doesn't heat up
• Intermittent heating or fluctuating temperatures
• Visible signs of damage or corrosion on the receptacle
• Sparks or short circuits when attempting to use a burner

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The infinite switch regulates power to your range or cooktop's surface element, letting you set heat from low to high. Replace a failed switch to restore dependable burner control and consistent cooking performance.

• Regulates on/off power cycling to the surface element based on the knob setting
• Helps resolve no-heat, stuck-on-high, won't-turn-off, or erratic/uneven heat issues
• Often controls the surface "on" indicator light circuit; failure may affect the light
• Installs behind the control knob and connects to the existing wire harness

• Disconnect power at the breaker; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove the knob and access panel to reach the switch
• Photograph wiring and transfer wires to the same labeled terminals (commonly L1, L2, H1, H2, P)
• Reassemble, restore power, and test multiple heat settings; check the element and wiring

The Stove Top Drip Pan is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It is the shallow metal pan located below the stove burner elements that collects grease and food particles. The drip pan helps direct spills and drips away from the burner area to the bottom drawer for easy cleanup. 

Symptoms of a bad drip pan include:

• Grease or food spilling below the burners outside of the pan
• Burner elements showing signs of corrosion or damage from drips
• The drip pan no longer fitting properly or securely in place

Causes can be warping or damage of the drip pan over time due to exposure to heat. Dents and structural changes compromise its ability to direct drips properly.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
