Parts for Maytag MES5875BAS21: 01 - Cooktop Parts

Burner only partially heating or not working? This surface heating element restores even cooking. DIY-friendly repair with photos of wire connections.

This is a 1200-watt, 6-inch radiant heating element designed for a glass-top electric range. It sits beneath the cooktop glass and radiates heat upward to the cooking surface when activated. Replace this element if the burner does not heat, heats unevenly, or fails to reach the correct temperature despite the control being set properly.

The Large Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. As a key heat source, it withstands significant thermal stresses each use for cooking tasks. This surface element measures approximately 10” in diameter.

Over time, microfractures may accumulate in the ceramic glass from repetitive heating/cooling cycles. Mineral deposits also build up on the surface, reducing heat transfer effectiveness.

Symptoms involve:

• Inconsistent or diminished heat from the designated zone 
• Noticeable cracks, clouding or chips in the glass material
• Safety hazards if integrity is lost, exposing electrical/gas

The element is compatible also for select KitchenAid and Maytag appliances.
