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. 

Causes of a bad top burner receptacle can include corrosion due to spills or moisture, physical damage from heavy use, or natural wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad Top Burner Receptacle Kit include:

• A burner that doesn't heat up
