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 replacement part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. Specifically designed for the 7" cooktop element, the entire body of the Surface Element measures approximately 8" in diameter. It generates and distributes heat evenly across the cooktop.

Causes of a bad Surface Element can include electrical issues, such as wiring problems or a malfunctioning switch, and physical damage or wear that impairs its heating capability.

Symptoms of a bad Surface Element include:

• Inconsistent heating or failure to heat
• Visible damage to the element, such as burns or breaks
• The element not responding to the control switch
• Uneven cooking results due to fluctuating temperatures

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

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.
