GE 8" Electric Surface Burner (WB31X46066) (Replaces WB30X31057)

The GE 8" Electric Surface Burner is the large coil heating element that sits on top of your electric range and provides the heat needed for cooking. It plugs into a receptacle on the cooktop and uses electrical resistance to generate heat, transferring warmth directly to pots and pans placed on top of it.

Important Compatibility Note: Part number WB31X46066 is the current manufacturer-approved replacement for the following discontinued part number(s): WB30X31057. If your appliance documentation or old part uses any of these numbers, this is the correct, updated component for your repair.

The GE 8" Electric Surface Burner can fail over time due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, physical damage from spills or impacts, or general wear to the internal coil. A damaged or broken coil will prevent the burner from heating properly, leaving you without a reliable cooking surface.
