The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire electric ranges and cooktops. It is the individual electric coil located beneath the cooktop that provides heat.

The surface element heats up rapidly upon activation in order to boil, simmer or saute foods efficiently. Its precise heating capabilities assist home cooks in meal preparation.

Causes can be mineral deposits caked onto the element surface over time reducing its ability to transfer heat properly. Excess moisture exposure can also damage internal wiring.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• Burners that do not heat up at all or heat unevenly
• Lights flickering below an element when in use
• Popping, buzzing or crackling noises coming from below an element

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.
