The Surface Element Control is an OEM part for GE ranges. It regulates the heat output of the surface elements on the cooktop, allowing users to adjust the cooking temperature precisely.
Over time, the surface element control can wear out due to regular use, electrical issues, or exposure to high temperatures. If it fails, it can lead to inconsistent heating or no heat at all, affecting your cooking performance.
Symptoms of a bad surface element control include:
- Inconsistent or no heat from the surface elements
- The inability to adjust the temperature settings
- The surface element staying on despite being turned off
- Sparking or unusual noises from the control area
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
