Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Dual burner does not heat.
• Dual burner remains on high or does not respond properly to the control setting.
• Surface-element temperature is erratic.
• Only one portion or size of the dual element operates when the control is selected.
• Burner will not turn off.

Check Before Replacing

• With the range unplugged or the range circuit breaker switched off, confirm that the control knob is properly seated and engages the switch shaft.
• Compare the affected element with another element of the same size, if the range design permits; if the problem follows the element, the element may be involved rather than the switch.
• With power disconnected, inspect the switch and its wiring for loose, discolored, or heat-damaged connections. Do not probe energized terminals unless qualified to perform electrical testing.
• If the element remains energized, will not heat, or has erratic heat control after basic checks, use the model-specific wiring diagram or have the circuit diagnosed by a qualified technician.
