Let me tell you, this little OEM replacement part is an absolute game-changer for anyone with an older GE stove. I installed it on my 1970s GE drop-in range, and it fits like it was made yesterday - because technically, it was!

The kit comes with everything you need - the coil, ceramic plates, all the connectors. Yes, it's pricier than some aftermarket options, but when one connector arrived slightly bent (probably from shipping), I held my breath during installation... only to find it seated perfectly and worked flawlessly.

What surprised me most? The heating performance. This thing boils water faster than my original burners ever did. That silver center button does turn copper-colored after first use (happened on all four I've installed), but it doesn't affect performance one bit.

Installation is straightforward if you're moderately handy. Took me about 15 minutes while following the manual. Pro tip: Have needle-nose pliers ready for those tight connector spaces!

For those with 50+ year old stoves (like my mom's), this is way cheaper than a kitchen remodel. My only wish? That GE made these for all vintage models - I'd replace all my burners in a heartbeat!
