GE Surface Element Control (WB23K10003)

The GE Surface Element Control regulates the heat level of a surface burner on your electric range by allowing you to set and adjust the power sent to the heating element. It connects the burner switch to the element and controls how much electricity flows through, giving you precise temperature control from low simmer to high heat.

The GE Surface Element Control can wear out over time from repeated use, heat exposure, or electrical arcing at the terminal connections. Internal components can burn or corrode, causing the control to lose its ability to regulate power correctly and leaving the burner stuck at one heat level or unresponsive entirely.

Here are some common symptoms that may point to a faulty surface element control:

- Burner stays on high heat regardless of the dial setting

- Burner does not heat up at all when turned on

- Burner only works at one heat level and cannot be adjusted

- Surface element cycles on and off erratically during cooking

- Burn marks, scorching, or visible damage around the control terminals

- Dial turns but has no effect on the burner temperature

- Indicator light for the surface element does not respond correctly
