Corroded connectors and melted block on an electric stove.
The original GE blocks/wires were color coded to specific burners. The new ones are not color coded since they are sold individually and work with any burner, but they were identical to the originals in every other way. Just remove old blocks one at a time and connect the replacement so that the burner is connected to the proper control. Since the stove age was unknown, I replaced all four blocks to eliminate a repeat of the problem later. The screws holding the blocks and the wiring cover on the stove back require the same small socket wrench; not enough room in some places for an adjustable wrench. It took no more than 20 minutes to replace all four, test the burners, and close up the back wiring panel. The instructional video on the website eliminated my hesitation to tackle this repair. The parts arrived the next day, with no special shipping service requested. WOW. PartSelect will be the first place I go to find what I need for the next fix-it. I'm almost looking forward to something else breaking. LOL. Thanks, PS.

The large burner was not working. We had tried a part that was not GE and was supposed to be generic to use. That part required cutting the wire and splicing it to the existing wire. When we used it the burner made noise and it sounding like sparking. The terminal block melted.
When we used the GE part and followed the your video for the repair. From that I would have been able to do it by myself but my husband helped me pull out the stove and take off the back panel. He had me hold the wire and he was able to see what place needed to be unplugged and he unplugged it and put the new one on. We tried it and it was heating immediately. I did not need the new burner that I ordered but we will keep it for the next time the burner does need to be replaced. It did not take 5 minutes for the actual repair. But while I was at it I cleaned the sides while it was pulled out.

The terminal block for a front stove top burner failed
There was an excellent video demonstrating a very good method for replacing the terminal block at Parts Select.. I ran into a problem with the kit. The wires were too short. Instead of replacing the entire wire I needed to clip off part of the old wiring and solder the kit wires to them. I also needed to insulate the connections with electrical tape to prevent them from shorting out.

Two Stove Elements weren't working
Found PartsSelect on the internet. Saw the video for replacing the Surface Burner Terminal Blocks with their kit. Turned a $400 oven replacement into a $25 quick repair, thanks to PartsSelect.

Bakelite block in the terminal block broke in two.
I can add nothing to the video you furnished on your website. I am generally all thumbs with home repairs - especially anything electrical - but, your video led me right through it. A good experience. We'll do business again.Thanks.

Right front burner connection to burner broke.
Wife repaired it because she got tired of waiting for me:) Hardest part was pulling stove out of cupboard space to get to back of stove. Easy to repair.
