The standard Y-frame 6” surface element supplies heat to the cooking surface on your range and is a genuine OEM part. It has a black center medallion and looped terminal end. If your element is not heating, shorted out around the coil or if the terminal block shorted out and burnt out the contacts on the end, you may need to replace the element. Please be sure to disconnect the power to your range before starting your repair. Note: The manufacturer suggests replacing the receptacle at the same time.
