GE 6-Inch Heating Element (WB30X359)

The GE 6-Inch Heating Element is an electric coil burner that sits on the surface of your GE range or stove and generates heat for cooking when electricity passes through its resistance wire. It plugs directly into a terminal block on the cooktop and heats up quickly to deliver consistent, controllable heat for pots and pans.

The GE 6-Inch Heating Element can burn out or fail from repeated heating and cooling cycles over time, physical damage from spills or impacts, or a break in the internal resistance wire. Corrosion from food debris and moisture can also degrade the element's connection points, leading to uneven heating or a complete loss of function at that burner.

These symptoms can help you decide if this heating element is the cause of your problem:

- Burner does not heat up at all when turned on

- Visible cracks, blisters, or burn marks on the coil surface

- Burner heats unevenly or only gets warm on part of the coil

- Element glows orange in spots rather than heating evenly across the full coil

- Burner sparks or pops when in use

- Cooktop trips the circuit breaker when that burner is turned on

- Element feels loose or wobbles in the terminal connection
