terminal block kit needed for two burners

It was either fix the terminal blocks or buy a new stove. Our appliance man told us how we could do this ourselves and sent us a link. In the meantime I'd found yours, which was quite a bit cheaper and it too, came with a How To Video. Very easy!! All the parts fit and work beautifully and all for under a hundred dollars! We replaced two terminal block, one element and all 4 drip bowls! Nice friendly service!

Parts Used:

Surface Element - 8 Inch - 2600W

Terminal Block Kit

Chrome Drip Bowl - 6"

Drip Bowl - 8"

Burner element failed

Plugged the new one in and it worked.
I did search out Frigidaire parts and there are other types tha may or may not work. Calrod burners are not all that unusual. I went with the real thing.

2 burner elements not heating

Simple: Snip old terminal block off. Strip wires. Connect new Terminal block using twist-on wire caps (provided in kit). Mount to stove top with existing screw. TIP: Make sure you insert the wire lead into the terminal block the right way (not upside down). Otherwise burner element will not insert into terminal block properly.
