The Surface Element is an OEM part for Bosch cooktop and ranges. Measuring 6 inches across, it provides focused heat from below for smaller sized cookware.
Causes of a bad 6" plug-in element generally relate to normal wear and tear over time. Spills left on the coils could potentially cause issues by corroding internal wiring or damaging heating components.
Symptoms of a bad narrow surface element can include:
- The element heating intermittently or not at all
- Only parts of the coil visibly heating up
- Buzzing or clicking coming from below the element
- Tripped circuit breakers affecting that specific element
This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
