• Helps isolate a single-burner failure when other surface elements still work
• Replaces a damaged or open element to restore consistent heating

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access the element per your model (remove burner pan or lift the glass top)
• Note/photograph wiring and transfer any brackets or clips; move wires one at a time to matching terminals
• Ensure the element sits flat and all connections are secure before reassembly and testing

The Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for heating the cooktop surface to the desired temperature selected by the user. Made of durable metal coil construction, the element surface quickly distributes heat evenly across burners to boil, sauté or simmer foods effectively. 

Causes of a bad element includes baked-on grime or mineral buildup inhibiting heat transfer or damage due to the use of improper cookware that has cracked or warped the coils over time.

Symptoms of a bad element includes:

• Burners failing to heat up fully or taking a long time 
• Inconsistent or uneven heating across coils
• Hotspots or deadzones in cooking areas
• Visible damage like cracks or bends in coil construction

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