The drip bowl is used for electric ranges or cooktops with the coiled style burners, to catch any drips, spills, or crumbs that may occur while cooking. If your bowls have become discolored, corroded, difficult to clean, or otherwise damaged it may be time to replace them. This repair is easy and does not require any tools to complete the job. Ensure that all burners are turned off and cool to the touch before starting. First you need to lift up and disconnect the burner from the socket. While you have the burner out, it is a good time to check it for any signs of damage. Look at the terminals for any signs of arcing or burning. If you notice this, you will want to replace both the element and the receptacle it plugs into. Remove the old drip bowl by pulling it out. Then insert the new one by lining up the small hole on the side with the element block. Ensure that it is siting flat and then plug the element back into the socket. Please note that the manufacturer has substituted this part, and it no longer has a solid bottom. It is not recommended to cover the hole with products like aluminum foil, as it can trap heat or melt, becoming a fire hazard. As it is an OEM part, it ensures it will fit your model. The drip bowls are sold individually, chrome in color and about 8 inches in diameter, made to fit under a 6 inch burner element.
