The 8 Inch Large Surface Element is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops. This heating element is used on the cooktop to provide a consistent heat source for cooking. It fits into the designated spot on the stove and connects to the electrical system, allowing users to control the temperature for various cooking needs.

Causes of a bad surface element can include wear and tear from frequent use, electrical malfunctions, or damage from spills and food debris. Overheating or accidental impacts can also impair its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad 8 Inch Large Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven heating or hot spots on the element
• Sparks or electrical noises when the element is in use
• Visible damage or burns on the element

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The 6-Inch Small Surface Element is an OEM part for GE cooktops and ranges. It is designed to provide consistent and reliable heat for cooking on the stovetop. This heating element fits into the designated slot on the cooktop and is used for preparing smaller dishes or for simmering.

You should replace the surface element if it becomes faulty. Causes of a bad surface element can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues, or damage from overheating. A malfunctioning surface element can lead to uneven cooking, insufficient heat, or the element not heating up at all.

Symptoms of a bad 6-inch small surface element include:

• The element not heating up or only heating intermittently
• Visible damage such as burn marks or deformation
• Uneven heating or hotspots on cookware
• The element not fitting securely into its slot

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Range Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It contains screw terminals that connect internal wiring throughout the range. The terminal block facilitates safe and reliable power transfer between critical components such as the control panel, heating elements, timers, and temperature sensors.

Causes of a faulty terminal block can include normal wear over time loosening wire connections, water exposure leading to corrosion, or physical damage from force or impact.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Intermittent or complete failure of bake, broil, or surface heating elements
• Fault codes or error messages related to electrical malfunctions
• Loose, frayed, or broken wire connections inside the range
• Components like the control panel or timers not operating correctly

This OEM GE part also fits Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore electric ranges.

The Broil Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This element is located at the top of the oven and is crucial for the broiling function, providing high heat for cooking dishes such as meats and vegetables directly under the heat source. The broil element glows red hot when in use, creating the necessary temperature to sear food and lock in flavors.

Symptoms of a failing Broil Element include:

• The element not heating up when the broil setting is activated
• Uneven cooking or lack of browning on food intended to be broiled
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, bubbling, or breaks in the element coil
• No visible glow from the element during operation

Causes of a bad broil element often involve burnout from regular use, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or a malfunctioning thermostat that doesn't cycle the heat correctly.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This component is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for generating the heat needed for baking. By converting electrical energy into heat, the bake element ensures even temperature distribution throughout the oven, allowing for consistent cooking results. 

Causes of a malfunctioning Oven Bake Element may involve visible signs of wear or damage, like blistering or holes, a break in the element that hinders proper heating, and burnout or malfunctioning resulting from age or excessive use.

Symptoms of a failing Oven Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating to the set temperature
• Uneven baking results
• No visible glow from the element when the oven is turned on
• The oven taking longer than usual to preheat

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
