Introducción

This is the process of replacing the burners and drip pans for an electric stove. When the drip pans are too dirty to clean from burnt food and corrosion, they could need a replacement before debris accumulates onto the burner itself. In a worst case scenario, this could prevent the receptacle block from reaching the burner.

We will show people how to replace these drip pans and burners with a few easy steps. To start, no tools are needed, but the parts listed in the details section can be purchased at any hardware store. Once you are completed with all the steps listed below, reassemble the stove and recycle the old drip pans through your local single-stream recycling or scrap metal yard!
