Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• The 6-inch element does not turn on.
• The element remains on high or does not regulate heat normally.
• The element heats intermittently or at inconsistent levels.

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspecting the switch or wiring.
• With power disconnected and the range cool, compare the affected 6-inch element with another element of the same size; if the element itself works in another position but the original position does not, the switch or circuit may require further diagnosis.
• Check for visibly loose, burned, or damaged wiring connections around the switch without touching energized components.
• Confirm that the replacement switch matches the appliance model and the 6-inch element position before installation.
