Overview

The GE WB17X5111 Receptacle Assembly is an OEM-authorized replacement part engineered to restore the electrical connection between plug-in burner elements and your GE range. When a receptacle fails, symptoms can include burners that won't heat, inconsistent temperatures, or intermittent power loss to a cooking element. This part is designed as a direct drop-in replacement, matching the form factor and electrical specifications of the original component so that no modifications to your range are required.

As an authorized aftermarket part, the WB17X5111 meets GE's quality and compatibility standards. It is built to handle the thermal demands of repeated heating cycles and maintain a secure electrical connection over time. Before purchasing, verify that your specific GE range model uses this part number by checking the appliance's parts diagram or owner's manual, as receptacle assemblies are not universal across all GE range lines.
