Parts for Kenmore 153.30631 (15330631, 153 30631): Replacement Parts

This HiLight hotplate is a single radiant cooktop element that restores heating on compatible glass-top ranges. It replaces a failed or damaged hotplate so cookware can heat evenly and burners function reliably again. What it does:

• Replaces a cracked, non-heating, or intermittently heating HiLight hotplate
• Provides the radiant heating surface under glass-ceramic cooktops
• Fixes symptoms such as a burner that won't glow, uneven heating, or no heat from one cooking zone
• Works with the existing element connections and retaining hardware on compatible cooktops

• Disconnect power to the cooktop at the breaker before servicing
• Handle glass-ceramic tops carefully to avoid chipping or cracking when removing/installing the element
• Verify the part number on the old element before installation

This lock nut secures appliance components and resists loosening from vibration. Replacing a stripped, rusted, or missing nut restores a firm, reliable connection to reduce noise and prevent parts from shifting or backing off.

• Secures brackets, shafts, pulleys, panels, or other hardware as designed by the manufacturer
• Helps prevent fasteners from loosening due to vibration and thermal cycling
• Common fix for rattling/vibration noises and components that work loose over time
• Replaces damaged, rounded, or missing original nut to restore proper fit

• Disconnect power and shut off gas/water supplies before servicing
• Remove the worn nut with the appropriate wrench or socket
• Start the new nut by hand to avoid cross-threading; tighten securely—do not overtighten
• Inspect the mating bolt/stud and any washers; replace if worn or damaged
