Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• The cooking zone remains cold when selected.
• The element heats unevenly or only part of the dual element operates.
• The element shows visible burning, cracking, or discoloration.
• The element may cycle on and off during operation as part of normal temperature regulation; cycling alone does not confirm a defective element.

Check Before Replacing

• Confirm the range or cooktop has electrical power and that the circuit breaker has not tripped.
• With the appliance switched off and completely cool, inspect the glass area and element region for visible cracks, burn marks, or damage.
• With power disconnected, inspect the element terminals and accessible wiring for loose, discolored, or heat-damaged connections.
• Compare the affected cooking zone with another zone using the same control setting; do not assume the element is defective because of a single symptom.
• If electrical testing is performed, follow the appliance service documentation and verify power is disconnected before accessing terminals.
