Amana Range RCC-3 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.

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.

This 6-inch radiant surface element is the heating source for a small burner beneath a glass-ceramic cooktop. Replacing a failed element restores reliable, controllable heat to that cooking zone. What it does:

• Heats the 6-inch cooking zone under the glass top when the control is turned on
• Cycles to help maintain the selected temperature during cooking
• Common symptoms of failure: small burner won't heat, heats unevenly or intermittently, or shows visible burn spots/damage

• 1 six-inch radiant surface element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift the glass top or remove the cooktop to access the elements; support the glass to avoid stress or cracks
• Note wire positions and transfer connections to the new element one at a time
• Ensure the element sits flat in its mounting brackets before reassembly and testing
