Gjc3034 Parts

The Large Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. As a key heat source, it withstands significant thermal stresses each use for cooking tasks. This surface element measures approximately 10” in diameter.

Over time, microfractures may accumulate in the ceramic glass from repetitive heating/cooling cycles. Mineral deposits also build up on the surface, reducing heat transfer effectiveness.

Symptoms involve:

• Inconsistent or diminished heat from the designated zone 
• Noticeable cracks, clouding or chips in the glass material
• Safety hazards if integrity is lost, exposing electrical/gas

The element is compatible also for select KitchenAid and Maytag appliances.

The Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for heating the cooktop surface to the desired temperature selected by the user. Made of durable metal coil construction, the element surface quickly distributes heat evenly across burners to boil, sauté or simmer foods effectively. 

Causes of a bad element includes baked-on grime or mineral buildup inhibiting heat transfer or damage due to the use of improper cookware that has cracked or warped the coils over time.

Symptoms of a bad element includes:

• Burners failing to heat up fully or taking a long time 
• Inconsistent or uneven heating across coils
• Hotspots or deadzones in cooking areas
• Visible damage like cracks or bends in coil construction

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore range models.

The Infinite Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. It controls the heat levels of the surface burners, allowing for precise temperature adjustments during cooking.

Causes of a bad infinite switch can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from frequent use, or exposure to high temperatures. These issues can impair the switch’s ability to regulate the burner’s heat levels accurately.

Symptoms of a bad infinite switch include:

• Inability to adjust burner heat levels
• Burners not heating up or staying on high heat regardless of settings
• Burners not turning on at all
• Sparks or unusual noises when adjusting the switch

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Range Screw is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is a small but essential component used to secure various parts and panels of the range. It is designed to fit securely into pre-drilled holes, holding components tightly in place.

There are a few factors that can lead to a bad Range Screw. Over time, screws may become loose or stripped due to frequent use or inadequate tightening. Accidental cross-threading or overtightening can also damage the screw or the surrounding components.

Symptoms of a bad screw may include loose or wobbly parts, rattling noises during operation, or difficulty in keeping components securely attached. This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

The Surface Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. Specifically designed for the 7" cooktop element, the entire body of the Surface Element measures approximately 8" in diameter. It generates and distributes heat evenly across the cooktop.

Causes of a bad Surface Element can include electrical issues, such as wiring problems or a malfunctioning switch, and physical damage or wear that impairs its heating capability.

Symptoms of a bad Surface Element include:

• Inconsistent heating or failure to heat
• Visible damage to the element, such as burns or breaks
• The element not responding to the control switch
• Uneven cooking results due to fluctuating temperatures

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Control Knob is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. This knob allows users to select cooktop burners and oven functions through rotation.

Symptoms of a bad control knob include: 

• Burners or oven failing to activate as selected
• Inaccurate temperature or function delivery  
• Loose, wobbly, or difficult to turn knob

Causes may be general wear to the assembly over years of repeated adjustments. Knobs can also crack or buttons stick from food/liquid intrusion.

Symptoms of a bad small surface element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven or inconsistent heating
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is turned on
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
