Kenmore Range 362.62492001 (36262492001, 362 62492001) Element will not heat

The Element Receptacle and Wire Kit is an OEM part for GE ranges and ovens. It serves as a crucial component in connecting the heating element to the power source, ensuring that electricity can flow to the element for heating.

This kit typically includes a receptacle, wires, and possibly other connectors or hardware needed for installation. Proper connection via this kit is essential for the heating element to function correctly and efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad Element Receptacle and Wire Kit include:

• Heating element not heating properly or at all
• Burn marks or corrosion on the receptacle
• Visible damage or wear on the wires
• Intermittent heating, indicating a loose connection

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. This kit replaces the points of connection delivering power to control circuits and surface coil elements atop the cooktop.  

Causes of failure are prolonged heat cycling which slowly breaks down solder joints and insulator coating on terminals conducting power. Liquids spilled can seep into connection areas over time promoting electrical faults.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate specific burners   
• Burners that glow intermittently or fail to respond
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use of problematic zones  
• Buzzing or cracking noises from under cooktop areas

This genuine GE kit is also compatible with Hotpoint and RCA electric ranges.

The Infinite Control Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It controls the heat output of the surface burners.

Causes of a faulty switch can include failures in the circuitry from extended and repetitive use over time. Exposure to liquid splatters or spills can also impact component wiring. 

Symptoms of a bad infinite control switch include:

• Unresponsive or incorrectly functioning control buttons/dials
• Inability to turn on desired cooking elements  
• Erratic temperature regulation and heating performance
• Repeated resetting or power intermittence issues

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

This radiant surface element sits beneath a glass cooktop and supplies controlled heat to a single burner. Replacing a failed element restores proper heating and consistent cooking performance on the range top. What it does:

• Converts electrical power into radiant heat under the glass for one surface burner
• Works with the limiter/control to cycle and maintain set temperatures
• Typical symptoms: burner won't heat, heats intermittently, shuts off too soon, or trips the circuit when turned on
• Common diagnosis: element tests open (no continuity) with a multimeter

• 1 radiant surface element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift or open the glass top per your model's service information to access the element
• Note wire locations; transfer any mounting clips/brackets as needed and reconnect wires one at a time
• Handle the element carefully and seat it correctly before reassembly; test operation before closing up
