Customer Questions and Answers for Broil Element by Whirlpool

This broil element provides the intense top heat your oven uses for broiling. Replace a failed or damaged element to restore consistent broiler performance and proper browning when broiling meats and other foods.

• Supplies high, direct radiant heat from the top of the oven during broil cycles
• Restores proper broiling performance for browning and searing
• Replaces elements with open circuits, blisters, cracks, or shorts
• Common symptoms include: broiler won't heat, weak or uneven broiling, visible damage, or the breaker trips when broil is turned on

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove mounting screws, gently pull the element forward, and disconnect wires; support wires so they don't slip back into the rear cavity
• Attach wires to the new element and secure with existing screws; avoid bending the element or overtightening
• Restore power and test the broil function
