WB30T10130 OE Replacement GE Range 12" Dual Haliant Surface Element
The WB30T10130 is the 12-inch dual haliant surface element used in select GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore glass-top electric ranges. Unlike a simple radiant coil, the haliant design incorporates a halogen component that reduces warm-up time and spreads heat more evenly beneath the ceramic glass. The dual-zone configuration gives the burner two independently controlled heating areas — the compact inner zone for precise low-heat cooking, and the full 12-inch outer zone for high-output searing or boiling. This XPARTCO OE replacement restores both zones to full operation and installs with the same terminal layout as the original.
When diagnosing a failed glass-top burner, the surface element is the right starting point — but the dual-zone design of this element means the failure pattern tells you exactly which part of the circuit is at fault. If the burner is completely dead, either both zones have failed or the surface element switch has lost power to the element entirely. If one zone still heats and the other doesn't, the element itself is almost certainly the problem: the switch sends power to both zones simultaneously, so a switch failure takes both down together. This distinction saves time before you open the cooktop.
🔧 Will This Fix Your Cooktop?
Replace this element if a glass-top burner is completely dead or heats on one zone only. Part Number:
WB30T10130 — OE Replacement, 12-inch dual haliant, 3,000W / 1,950W at 240V. Fits GE, Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore glass-top ranges.
Common Symptoms This Part Fixes
- 12-inch burner produces no heat during any heat setting
- Inner zone heats but outer ring is completely dead (or vice versa)
- Burner glows unevenly — one portion of the element visibly dimmer
- Surface element indicator light active but no heat produced
- Cooktop trips the circuit breaker when that burner is activated
- Burn mark or arc visible under the glass above the element position
What Is an OE Part?
An OE (Original Equipment) part is produced to the same specifications as the factory-installed original. It is manufactured by the same supplier that makes the part for the appliance brand, but ships in XPARTCO packaging instead of the brand-name box. You get identical fit, materials, and performance — the only difference is the packaging it arrives in.

⚠ Safety Warning
Disconnect power at the circuit breaker before beginning this repair. Glass-top ranges require lifting the ceramic glass surface to access the element — do not attempt this with the range energized. Allow all surfaces to cool completely. The glass top is heavy and fragile; use caution when lifting and propping it open.
Frequently Asked Questions
If one zone still works, is it definitely the element and not the switch?
Almost certainly the element. The surface element switch sends power to all zones of a dual haliant element through a single switching action — when the switch fails, both zones lose power simultaneously. If one zone is heating normally and the other is dead, the switch is doing its job and the break is in the element itself. Each zone is a separate internal coil, and one can fail while the other stays intact. Confirm with a continuity test across the failed zone's terminal pair before ordering, but selective zone failure is a strong indicator the element is the fault.
Can a shorted element damage the cooktop control board?
Yes, in some cases. If the internal heating wire arcs through the element's outer sheath, the resulting short can trip the breaker — but it can also send a voltage spike back through the wiring harness to the relay board or electronic control. If your range tripped the breaker and now has other erratic symptoms (lights flickering, digital display acting up, other burners behaving oddly), the control board may have sustained damage from the short. Replace the element first, restore power, and assess the range's behavior before concluding the board is also faulty.
Why does my cooktop have four wires going to this element position?
That's normal for a dual haliant element. Each zone — inner coil and outer ring — has its own pair of terminals, so the full element uses four wires total (two per zone). Some models use a plug-style connector block that clips onto the element's terminal leads; others use individual push-on connectors. Take a photo before you disconnect anything, and note which wire pair connects to which terminal position on the old element when you remove it. The new element's terminals are arranged identically to the original.
Is this the same element used in GE Profile and Café models?
Some GE Profile ranges do use this element, but Profile and Café models vary more across model years. The only reliable way to confirm is to look up your specific model number in a parts database and verify that WB30T10130 appears as a compatible part for your range. Don't assume compatibility based on brand alone — GE's glass-top element lineup spans several sizes and zone counts, and the 12-inch dual haliant position is not universal across all glass-top GE ranges.
How long does it take to replace this element?
Most technicians complete this repair in 20–30 minutes. The main steps are: remove front screws securing the glass top, lift and prop the glass (it typically pivots up on a hinge at the rear), disconnect the terminal wires from the element, remove the element mounting screws, and reverse the process with the new part. The glass top itself is the most delicate part of the job — handle it carefully to avoid chipping the edges. Having a second person steady the glass while you work underneath makes the job easier.
