The WS01L15700 is a genuine OEM 5.5-inch radiant surface element for GE-family smooth-top (glass-ceramic) electric ranges. This coiled resistance heater mounts in an insulated metal carrier beneath the glass cooktop and transfers heat to cookware on 240V power. The 5.5” size is used for small single burners or warming/low-output positions. Common failures include an open heating coil, hot spots from coil fatigue, a warped carrier causing poor contact with the cooktop, or heat-damaged terminals from loose connections.

✓ Installation Tips

CRITICAL SAFETY WARNING: Switch OFF the 240V double-pole breaker and verify power is OFF before servicing.

1. Turn OFF the range breaker and confirm no power at the terminal block.
2. Pull the range forward for access and protect the floor.
3. Access the element from the top (lift cooktop) or from the rear/bottom depending on model.
4. Label and photograph all element wiring connections before disconnecting.
5. Disconnect the element wires at the spade terminals.
6. Release the element from its mounting bracket/retainers and remove it.
7. Inspect the terminal ends for heat damage — replace terminals if discolored or loose.
8. Install the new WS01L15700 in the same bracket position; ensure it sits flat and centered under the glass.
9. Reconnect wires firmly — a tight spade fit is critical to prevent arcing.
10. Reassemble cooktop/panels and restore power.
11. Test the burner on Low/Med/High and confirm normal cycling and even heat.
