Restore reliable heat to your electric range or cooktop with this surface heating element. Replacing a failed top-burner element brings back consistent, even heating so pots and pans heat up properly at your chosen setting.

• Supplies electric heat to a cooktop burner zone when turned on
• Common fix for a burner that won't heat or only partially glows/heats
• Helps address uneven or slow heating on the affected element
• Replace if the element shows visible breaks, blisters, or has shorted

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely before service
• Access varies by model; support and protect glass tops when lifting/removing
• Photograph wiring; transfer any original brackets, insulators, or limiter/thermostat if present
• Ensure clean, tight terminal connections; fully reassemble before restoring power

This surface heating element powers one of your range's top burners, restoring steady, responsive heat for everyday cooking. Replace a failed element to bring your cooktop back to consistent performance when boiling, simmering, or sautéing.

• Provides heat to the selected surface burner when the control is turned on
• Works with the burner switch to reach and maintain set temperatures
• Common symptoms of failure: burner won't heat, heats unevenly or intermittently, or shows visible damage/hot spots
• Helps resolve long heat-up times and inconsistent cooking results

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely before servicing.
• Access and mounting vary by model; note wire locations and transfer any brackets/clips from the original element.
• Inspect terminals and connectors; replace any heat-damaged wiring or receptacles before reconnecting.
• Handle by the frame and avoid stressing the element; ensure secure electrical connections before testing.

This infinite switch controls heat output to an electric range surface burner, restoring variable temperature control for cooking. Replacing a worn or faulty burner control brings back smooth, stepless power adjustment at the cooktop. What it does:

• Regulates electrical power to a surface/top burner so you can set low-to-high heat levels.
• Re-establishes variable temperature control when a burner is stuck high, stuck low, or won't heat.
• Replaces a failing rotary control that clicks, won't change settings, or loses continuity.
• Works with the cooktop wiring and mounting used by the original burner control.

• Disconnect power at the breaker before starting any repair to avoid electric shock.
• Verify the replacement matches the old switch's terminals and mounting before installation.
• Reconnect wiring securely and test the burner operation after restoring power.
