Important Product Classification
Alltemp's manufacturer documentation classifies 38-815 as a "Universal Replacement" rather than an OEM direct replacement. Therefore, for accuracy, this product should be described as an Alltemp universal replacement element rather than a genuine OEM appliance-manufacturer part.
What Does the TJ38-815 Range Coil Element Do?
The TJ38-815 is a plug-in surface heating element installed on the cooking surface of compatible electric ranges and cooktops. When electrical power is supplied, the coil heats up and transfers heat to cookware placed above it.
The element is rated at 1,500 watts and 240 volts. Alltemp's catalogue specifies four coil turns and a 6-inch diameter for this element.
Using an element with the correct diameter, wattage, voltage, terminal configuration, and physical connection is important for proper heating performance and safe operation. Installing an incorrectly specified element can result in poor heating or an improper electrical connection.
Common Symptoms of a Failed Range Coil Element
A damaged or failed surface element may cause:
-
Surface burner does not heat
-
Coil remains completely cold when switched on
-
Element heats unevenly
-
Element takes unusually long to reach cooking temperature
-
Visible damage, cracking, or burning on the coil
-
Cooking performance is reduced on one burner
-
Element intermittently heats or stops working
A non-heating element is one of the documented repair situations associated with the Alltemp 38-815. However, a range that does not heat can also have a problem with the receptacle, wiring, infinite switch, terminal connection, or other electrical components.
Will Replacing the TJ38-815 Fix My Range?
If the surface coil itself has failed and the rest of the electrical circuit is operating correctly, replacing the element can restore heating to that cooking zone.
Before ordering, compare the existing element's size, wattage, voltage, terminal style, and connection with the TJ38-815 specifications. If the element is not receiving power, replacing the coil alone may not resolve the problem.

Installation Overview
Replacing a plug-in range coil element is generally a straightforward appliance repair when the existing element uses the same compatible terminal configuration.
An experienced DIYer may be able to replace the element by disconnecting power to the appliance, allowing the existing element to cool completely, removing the old element, and installing the replacement into the appropriate receptacle.
Always disconnect the range from electrical power before servicing. Because this is a 240-volt appliance component, anyone uncomfortable working around electrical appliances should use a qualified appliance technician.
