The Small Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric ranges and cooktops. This heating element is responsible for providing heat to a specific area on the cooktop, typically used for smaller pots and pans. It ensures even and efficient heating, allowing for precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad surface element can include regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning surface element can result in uneven heating, longer cooking times, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad small surface element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven or inconsistent heating
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is turned on
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

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

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.
