Hardwick Range 4580A Element will not heat

This surface element supplies heat to an electric range or cooktop burner. When it fails, the burner may not heat or may heat inconsistently. Replacing the element restores steady, reliable cooking performance.

• Converts electrical energy into heat for the cooking zone
• Works with the surface control (infinite switch) to regulate temperature
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, intermittent or uneven heating, visible breaks/blistering, burnt/melted terminals
• A failed element will not glow or reach set temperature when energized

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• If your model uses a plug-in coil style: remove the drip pan, pull the element straight out of the receptacle, and inspect/replace a heat-damaged receptacle as needed
• If your model uses an under-glass radiant style: lift the cooktop, transfer any clips/limiters from the old element, and route wires exactly as original
• After reassembly, test the burner at a low setting to ensure proper operation

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

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

This bake element supplies the primary heat from the bottom of the oven during the Bake cycle. Replace it to restore proper preheating and even results when the original is burned out, damaged, or no longer heating. What it does:

• Provides radiant heat for baking and preheating from the lower oven position
• Helps the oven reach and maintain the set temperature for consistent cooking
• Common symptoms: no heat in Bake, very slow preheating, uneven baking, or a visible blister/crack in the element
• Restores normal oven operation when the existing element has failed

• 1 bake element

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove oven racks; take out the element's mounting screws and gently pull the element forward
• Support and disconnect the two wire terminals; prevent wires from slipping back into the insulation
• Attach wires to the new element, secure with existing hardware, restore power, and test
