The Medium surface burner base is an OEM part for GE ranges. It serves as the base for the surface burners, covering and protecting the burner cavities.
Causes of a bad surface burner base include warping or deformation from high heat over time, cracks or breaks from impact damage, or corrosion from liquid spills or grease accumulation.
Symptoms of a bad surface burner base include:
- Burners no longer sitting flush or securely on the cooktop surface
- Excessive air gaps around the burners allowing gas/flames to escape
- Difficulty cleaning due to liquid leaks into the burner cavities
- Visible cracks, breaks, or deformities in the material
This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
