Description

This 1200W ribbon surface heating element replaces a faulty cooktop burner to restore even, consistent heat for stovetop cooking. It fits into the range's burner receptacle and reconnects to the existing terminal block. What it does:

• Heats cookware for stovetop cooking; provides the heating surface for a single top burner.
• Replaces a worn or burned-out element that no longer reaches temperature.
• Fixes burners that heat unevenly, have cold spots, or fail to come on.
• Works with the stove's existing receptacle and wiring—matches OEM element design.

What's included:

• One surface heating element (1200W ribbon top burner).

Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before servicing to avoid shock.
• Allow the cooktop and old element to cool fully before handling.
• Handle terminals carefully; confirm proper alignment with the receptacle before securing.
