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.

This spring element support secures and stabilizes a range or oven heating element to keep it properly positioned for consistent heating and safe operation. It replaces a worn or broken support that allows an element to sag or vibrate. What it does:

• Holds the bake/broil heating element in the correct position so it heats evenly
• Prevents the element from sagging, touching the oven cavity, or rattling during use
• Helps maintain correct element clearance to reduce arcing and uneven cooking
• Addresses symptoms like a loose or wobbly element, unusual noises, or intermittent heating

• One spring element support

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair to avoid shock or injury
• Handle the heating element and support carefully to avoid bending or damaging the element
• Verify correct part orientation against the oven's wiring diagram during installation

A genuine replacement screw used to secure components on compatible Whirlpool appliances. This small fastener restores proper assembly and helps stop loose panels, trim, or internal parts from rattling or shifting during operation. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, or components to restore proper fit and reduce vibration noise
• Replaces missing or stripped fasteners that cause parts to sit unevenly or move during cycles
• Helps maintain safe, stable appliance operation by keeping components fastened

• Use the matching screwdriver or bit to avoid stripping the head; do not force a damaged screw
• Hand-start threads before using a driver to prevent cross-threading
• Replace any additional corroded or damaged screws with matching fasteners for best fit
• Disconnect power and follow appliance-specific safety steps before accessing internal parts

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.
