Surface Burner Head

This is the second time I have had to call a repair person to GE the old screws off. It isn't the fault of the part. Better original screws would have helped. It was very frustrating an expensive. I would say check the screws before you order the part.

Investigated the stove top and found worn part under stove top burner. Looked up defective/worn out part on line at Parts Select web site. Ordered on line and in a few days had a box sent with new part and replaced it. The repair time was 25 minutes or so. Part began to work properly. Plastic end cap was also swapped for a new one.

This was VERY easy and I've never worked on this type of appliance before.

First, take off the grate, thermal plate, etc that are resting on top of the stove (this is all the stuff you take off to clean the stovetop).

Then, carefully unscrew the two screws holding the burner to the gas pipe. Grab the screws and set them aside so they don't fall back into the stove, then pick the burner up off the stove.

once you have the burner a few inches above the stove surface, wiggle off the single wire by grabbing it on the metal part (not by the wire) and gently wiggling it off.

Grab new burner, push on wire and sit it on stove, use a finger in the gas pipe to align it and put the two screws in. you're done.

Removed two screws and disconnected the ignition wire. Then connected ignition wire to new burner and installed two screws
