Parts for Maytag JER8895BAS12: 01 - Cooktop Parts

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.

• Works with existing controls to maintain set heat levels

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access the element per your model's service procedure (often by lifting the top or accessing from beneath the cooktop)
• Transfer wires one at a time to the matching terminals; secure the element and any brackets as originally installed
• Inspect connectors/wiring for heat damage and address as needed before restoring power and testing
