Old element connections different from new element
11 of 14 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Frederic from KILLEEN, TX
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set
Disconnected power at breaker. Removed cooktop mounting screws, lifted top and propped in up position. Removed two screws and lowered two front burners mounting frame. Wiggled dual element free at the clips and proceeded to swap wires one at a time and realized the difference with connectors 1a and 2b much later when only the center porti on was heating up. Finally figured out the problem and everything works as advertised. Pay attention if you own a Kenmore product.
