318178110 Frigidaire Range Surface Element – 6" 1200W Radiant Heating

This genuine OEM 6-inch radiant surface heating element (1200W) is designed for Frigidaire smooth-top glass cooktops. It features an internal limiter (temperature sensor/limiter circuit) that cycles the element to prevent glass top overheating and maintain stable surface temperature. If your burner won't heat, heats weakly, cycles erratically, or shows visible scorching under the glass, this element is the solution.
