Inspection and access
I checked the GE electric range and found that one phase of its breaker had tripped. The diagnosis traced the trip to a damaged heating-element terminal rather than simply assuming that the whole heating element had failed.
Repair and reassembly
I accessed the element connection and replaced the damaged terminal. The photographs show the old connection and replacement receptacle components; the job notes identify receptacle and wire kit 330031.
I reassembled the connection after the terminal repair. The completed invoice total was $222 for the heating-element terminal and replacement service. The model number R-87576074WH was checked against the appliance label.
