WB30X24111 (OE) Range Dual Radiant Surface Element
The WB30X24111 is an OE (Original Equipment) dual radiant surface element for GE, Café, Hotpoint, and Profile glass (smooth-top) electric ranges. Unlike an exposed coil element, a radiant element sits beneath the glass cooktop surface and heats the glass from below through a ribbon-style heating coil embedded in an insulated pan. This is a dual (two-zone) element: the inner 6-inch ring can be run on its own for a small pan, or the outer 9-inch ring can be brought in alongside it for a larger pot or pan, giving one cooktop position the flexibility of two burner sizes.
Radiant elements fail from the same wear mechanisms regardless of manufacturer: the ribbon coil breaks or burns through after years of heat cycling, the element develops hot spots or uneven heating as the coil degrades unevenly, or the terminal block connections corrode and lose contact. Rated 3100W at 240V. A failed radiant element typically shows a visibly dark or dead zone on the glass where the coil no longer glows, uneven cooking with hot and cold spots across the surface, or a complete failure to heat at that position at all. This part serves as a fit, form, and function match for the original radiant element used in your range — same wattage, same dual-zone diameters, same terminal and mounting configuration — without carrying the appliance brand's OEM label. It replaces WB30T10133, AP5989975, 4465256, and PS11729126.
Quick Answer
The WB30X24111 (OE) Range Dual Radiant Surface Element fixes GE, Café, Hotpoint, and Profile glass-top electric ranges where a burner position won't heat, heats unevenly, shows a dark dead zone on the glass, or won't switch between the inner 6" and outer 9" ring. Dual-zone radiant element, 3100W at 240V, 6" inner / 9" outer diameter. Replaces WB30T10133, AP5989975, 4465256, PS11729126. OE (Original Equipment) designation — same fit, materials, and performance as the original at a more affordable price.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Burner position won't heat at all when the knob is turned on
- Uneven cooking — hot spots and cold spots across the same pan
- Visible dark or dead section on the glass cooktop where the coil no longer glows
- Outer 9" ring won't activate while the inner 6" zone still heats normally
- Element glows unevenly, brighter in some sections than others
- Burner takes noticeably longer to heat a pan than it used to
- Visible scorching, warping, or a cracked insulated pan beneath the coil
- Popping, arcing, or sparking sounds from beneath the glass at that position

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a radiant element and a regular coil burner?
A coil burner is the classic exposed spiral element you can see and touch directly. A radiant element is sealed beneath a smooth glass cooktop — the ribbon-style heating coil sits in an insulated pan under the glass and heats the glass surface itself, which then transfers heat to your cookware. Because it's hidden under the glass, a failing radiant element often shows up as a visible dark or uneven patch on the cooktop rather than an obviously broken coil.
What does "dual" mean on this element?
This element has two separate heating zones built into one position: a smaller 6-inch inner ring and a larger 9-inch outer ring. Depending on your range's knob or control settings, you can run just the inner ring for a small pan, or activate both rings together for a large pot or griddle. If only the outer ring has stopped working while the inner ring still heats, the coil in that outer zone has likely failed even though the rest of the element is fine.
I see a dark patch on my glass cooktop where the burner used to glow. Is that the element?
Yes, that's a classic sign of a failed section of the radiant coil. As the ribbon coil breaks down with age, sections of it stop conducting and stop glowing, which shows up as a visibly darker, cooler patch on the glass surface compared to the rest of the ring. Once part of the coil has failed this way, the whole element should be replaced — a patchy coil won't heat food evenly even in the sections that still work.
Is this a genuine OEM part?
This is an OE (Original Equipment) part. OE (Original Equipment) parts are produced to the same design and performance standards as the original factory part, but they are not sold under the appliance brand's OEM label. They provide the same fit and function as the OEM part at a more affordable price.
