Hi All,
I am trying to replace the socket that my stovetop burner element plugs into (it's cracked and falling apart, preventing the burner from heating up - the burners are new). However, I'm unsure about which is the applicable part and parts place reps only give vague responses.
For my stove, the following parts are listed:
741 Receptacle - AP2013499 961 Kit Surface Terminal Block - AP3203326
They look very similar and from the pictures, one or the other can be used. Is there any recommendation on which to get?
Thanks for any input.

I would go with the AP2013499 as it has the wires connected at the factory so there is less chance of a poor connection. Also it should be less screwing around. The kit is probably a universal unit that is made to fit a number of different stoves.
Would not hurt to discuss this with the parts person when you order. |

I ended up buying 2 of each part. It turns out that both will work for my particular range model.
741 Receptacle - AP2013499 - was a direct replacement for the broken parts. Came with a screw to mount the clip which I didn't have to use - I just used the old one. Wire lengths are sufficient for both front and back burners.
961 Kit Surface Terminal Block - AP3203326 - came with much longer wires with purple insulation and 2 clip configurations. Either clip worked with my range as the grounding tab is not used. I just had to loop the extra length and tie wrap it neatly.
