Customer Questions and Answers for Oven Broil Element by Whirlpool

Restore top-heat performance with this Oven Broil Element. Mounted at the top of the oven, it delivers the radiant heat needed for broiling and finishing, helping ensure quick searing and even browning on the broil setting. What it does:

• Supplies radiant heat from above for broiling and top-browning
• Energizes during broil and any cycle that calls for upper-element heat
• Common symptoms: no broil heat, weak/uneven top browning, visible breaks or blisters on the element, or a tripped breaker when Broil is selected
• Replacing a failed element restores consistent upper-oven heat

• 1 broil element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• From inside the oven, remove mounting screws and gently pull the element forward to access terminals
• Secure/label wires so they don't slip back through the rear panel; transfer leads one at a time
• Avoid bending or stressing the new element; ensure terminals are fully seated before restoring power
