Amana Range / Cooktop / Oven Heating Element

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens, engineered to provide consistent and even heating for baking. This element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is essential for achieving the desired temperatures for cooking and baking. When electricity flows through the element, it heats up and glows red, radiating heat throughout the oven to cook food evenly. This component is crucial for the oven's functionality, affecting everything from baking pastries to roasting meats.

The primary cause of bake element failure is often wear and tear from regular use. Over time, the element can burn out or become damaged, which impacts its ability to heat properly. In some cases, spills and food residues can also contribute to its deterioration, affecting performance and potentially causing short circuits.

Symptoms of a failing Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating up properly or taking longer than usual to reach the set temperature
• Lack of visible red glow from the element when the oven is turned on, indicating it's not heating
• Uneven or insufficient cooking results, with food being undercooked or overly browned on one side
• Physical damage to the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

The Broil Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is a vital heating component located at the top of the oven cavity that provides intense radiant heat for broiling functions. 

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• Inability to engage broil mode  
• Poor or negligible heating from the broiler
• Tripped circuit breakers when trying to broil
• Visible cracks, breaks, or damage to the broil element

Causes of failure can include deterioration over many heating and cooling cycles. Metal fatigue from constant expansion and contraction eventually causes cracking or breakage. 

This replacement broil element also fits Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore models.

The Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It is an electric heating coil located at the bottom of the oven cavity that provides essential heat energy for baking and cooking functions. When engaged, the bake element distributes steady, even warmth from below food items. 

Causes of a bad bake element may include deterioration and cracking of protective coatings after extended use. It can also incur damage from cleaning products or contact with other oven surfaces over time.

Symptoms of a bad bake element include:

• Slow, uneven heating of the oven cavity  
• Foods not baking or cooking thoroughly
• The oven not reaching or maintaining proper temperatures
• Scorching on the bottom of baked goods

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models. 

The Heater is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This component is responsible for preventing frost build-up on the evaporator coils by periodically heating them to melt any accumulated ice. This defrost process is essential for maintaining efficient cooling and proper airflow within the refrigerator.

Over time, the heater can fail due to electrical issues, wear and tear, or burnout from frequent cycling. When the heater is defective, it can lead to excessive frost build-up, which impairs the refrigerator's cooling performance.

Symptoms of a bad heater include:

• Frost or ice build-up on the evaporator coils
• Refrigerator or freezer not cooling properly
• Water leakage inside the refrigerator
• Long defrost cycles or constant running of the refrigerator

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

This Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops and ranges. It is responsible for generating heat, which is essential for various cooking tasks. This is the 8-inch element with 4 turns. For the 6-inch element, you will need part number WPW10345407.

Causes of a faulty surface element can include wear and tear over time, electrical component failure, or damage due to overheating or impact. These factors can result in the element not heating up properly, uneven heat distribution, or the element not working at all.

Symptoms of a bad surface element may include:

• No heat or inadequate heat generated
• Uneven cooking or hotspots on the cookware
• The element not turning on or functioning intermittently

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
