WB2X8228 Electric Range Element Receptacle and Wire Kit - Pack of 2

Key Features

  • High-Temperature Ceramic Housing: Features a heavy-duty ceramic block designed to withstand the intense localized heat of the burner element connection, preventing melting and electrical arcing.
  • Reinforced Nickel-Plated Terminals: Equipped with high-conductivity terminals that ensure a tight, low-resistance mechanical connection with the element "feet," maximizing heat output and extending element life.
  • Fiberglass-Insulated Leads: Includes two high-temperature 14-gauge wire leads with fiberglass braiding, rated for the extreme thermal environments found beneath the cooktop surface.
  • Complete Installation Kit: Provided as a 2-pack that includes ceramic wire nuts or heat-shrink tubing, offering everything needed to restore power to two separate burners in a single repair.
  • Universal "Plug-In" Design: Engineered to accept standard 2-terminal plug-in surface elements, providing a secure "snap-fit" that prevents the burner from wobbling during use.

Compatibility & Fitment

This receptacle kit is the standard replacement for most General Electric-built electric ranges with plug-in burners. Key compatible brands include:

  • GE (General Electric): Fits a wide array of Spectra, Profile, and standard coil-top ranges.
  • Hotpoint: Compatible with almost all Hotpoint electric stoves utilizing plug-in surface elements.
  • Kenmore / Sears: Fits many models with a "362" or "363" prefix (manufactured by GE).
  • Additional Brands: Fits specific electric cooktops from RCA, McClary, and Monogram.
  • Note: This kit is intended for Coil-Top (Plug-In) burners. It is not compatible with radiant glass-top (smoothtop) ranges.

When to Replace

  • Burner Won't Heat: The most common symptom; the receptacle terminals have burnt out or lost tension, breaking the electrical circuit to the element.
  • Visible Burn Marks: The plastic or ceramic block appears blackened, melted, or charred, which indicates electrical arcing and is a significant fire hazard.
  • Intermittent Power: The burner only works if you wiggle it or push it down, suggesting the internal terminals have become pitted or loose.
  • Pitted Element Terminals: If your burner "feet" have black pits or melted spots, the receptacle is likely damaged and must be replaced along with the burner to prevent immediate failure of the new part.
  • Burning Plastic Smell: An electrical odor coming from beneath the cooktop when the burners are on usually indicates a failing receptacle or melting wire insulation.

Installation Tips

  • Safety First: CRITICAL: Unplug the range or turn off the circuit breaker. Surface units carry high voltage (240V) that can be lethal.
  • Inspect the Element: PRO TIP: If the receptacle is burnt, inspect the ends of the heating element. If the metal "feet" are pitted or charred, replace the element as well. Reusing a damaged element will quickly destroy your new WB2X8228 receptacle.
  • Solid Connections: Use a wire stripper to expose about 1/2-inch of clean copper on the range's wiring. Twist the new leads and the range wires together tightly before securing them with the provided ceramic wire nuts.
  • Wire Routing: Ensure the new wires are tucked away from the bottom of the burner box. Direct contact with the heat reflector pans can melt the insulation over time.
  • Check the Ground: While the cooktop is open, ensure the metal receptacle bracket is securely fastened to the range frame to maintain a proper ground and prevent electrical noise.

FAQs

This kit is the surface burner receptacle assembly that connects the plug-in surface element to the range or cooktop wiring. It is also commonly referred to as a terminal block kit. If the burner prongs no longer make a solid electrical connection, this receptacle is often the part that needs replacement.
This WB2X8228 kit is used on select GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges and cooktops that use plug-in surface elements. Because fit can vary by model, the safest way to confirm is to match your appliance model number and compare the original part number on the old receptacle kit if available.
Known part numbers and cross-references for this receptacle kit include WB2X8228, WB02X8228, AP2013499, PS242972, 250535, AH242972, EA242972, EAP242972, WB62X5358, WB62X5393, WB62X5394, WB62X5397, WB62X5401, WB62X5405, and RR228.
Typical symptoms include a surface burner that heats intermittently, does not heat at all, only works when the element is wiggled, or shows visible arcing, sparking, melting, or burn marks at the socket. You may also notice the element prongs are discolored or pitted from overheating. In many cases, both the receptacle and the surface element should be inspected together.
Installation is usually a straightforward repair for someone comfortable working safely with appliances. Disconnect power first at the breaker or unplug the range. On many models, you access the receptacle from under the cooktop or from the rear service area, remove the old terminal block, and transfer or connect the wires from the new kit. Common tools are a screwdriver, needle-nose pliers, and possibly a nut driver. Expect roughly 20 to 45 minutes depending on access and whether one or multiple receptacles are being changed.
The most common causes are heat damage, loose electrical contact between the burner prongs and receptacle terminals, and arcing from repeated use. A worn or bent surface element can accelerate receptacle failure, and once the connection loosens, resistance builds heat and can char the socket and wires. If the old receptacle is burned, inspect the burner element prongs closely before reassembly.
Before installation, inspect the surface element prongs for pitting, corrosion, or burn damage, and verify the surrounding wiring insulation is not brittle or overheated. If the old socket was badly charred, check for heat damage beyond the receptacle area. Also make sure the new kit's wire leads and mounting style match your original setup. Since this listing is a pack of 2, many owners use the second kit for another worn burner position or keep it as a spare.
