Replacement 8-inch surface heating element that restores reliable top-of-range heating for electric cooktops. Designed to match OEM fit and restore proper burner operation when the original element fails or heats unevenly. What it does:

• Produces heat for an 8-inch cooktop burner so cookware can reach cooking temperatures.
• Replaces a failed or damaged surface element that won't heat, heats intermittently, or heats unevenly.
• Fits ranges that use coil-style terminal surface elements; installs into the cooktop terminal block for direct replacement.
• Restores consistent heat output for normal stovetop cooking tasks.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing the range to avoid shock.
• Allow the cooktop and element to cool completely and wear protective gloves to avoid cuts.
• Inspect the element terminals and terminal block for damage; seat the element fully into the terminal connections for a secure fit.
