Frigidaire 318198834 Radiant Surface Element 2200W 8 in

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 318198834 is an 8-inch, 2200-watt radiant surface element designed as a direct OEM-style replacement for electric ranges and smooth-top stoves. The element uses a resistive heating coil positioned beneath the ceramic glass cooktop surface to generate and transfer heat energy directly to cookware placed above it. At 2200 watts, it delivers consistent, uniform heat distribution across the full 8-inch cooking zone. This part is installed by appliance technicians and experienced service pros performing surface element replacement on electric range platforms across multiple brands.

The 318198834 is suited for residential electric ranges and smooth ceramic glass cooktop units where the original 8-inch radiant element has failed or is operating intermittently. Compatible brands include Frigidaire, Kenmore, Montgomery Wards, White-Westinghouse, Tappan, Crosley, Gibson, and Universal. It is a direct replacement for several superseded part numbers and covers a wide cross-section of electric range models produced under these brand families.
