Frigidaire Cooktop GLEC36S8EBB Element will not heat

The Dual Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This element features two heating zones, allowing for versatile cooking options by providing both high and low heat settings on the same burner. It ensures efficient and consistent heating, making it ideal for various cooking tasks. It contains a 9-inch, 1200-watt element and a 6-inch, 1300-watt element, combining for 2500 watts at 240 volts

Causes of a bad dual element can include electrical issues, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage such as cracks or breaks in the heating element. These issues can lead to inconsistent heating or complete failure of the element.

Symptoms of a bad dual element include:

• Burner not heating up
• Inconsistent or uneven heating
• Element not switching between high and low heat
• Visible damage to the element

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
