Symptoms of a bad cooktop include: 

• Uneven or slow heating of elements  
• Elements that will not turn on or only function at certain power levels
• Fractures, chips or breaks in the glass cooking surface
• Improper sensing of cookware leading to inaccurate heating  

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

• Helps maintain alignment and support, reducing rattle, vibration, or looseness
• Replaces missing or damaged screws that have backed out, broken, or stripped
• Restores secure mounting after service when original hardware is lost

• Disconnect power; shut off water or gas supplies before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Match length and thread to the original location; do not substitute with longer hardware

This surface heating element replaces a failed warm zone on an electric cooktop or range, restoring the low-temperature heating area used for keeping food warm. Designed to match OEM fit and function for compatible units. What it does:

• Provides the low-temperature "warm zone" heating needed to keep plates and dishes warm
• Heats at lower temperatures than main burners for gentle warming
• Commonly used when the warm area does not heat or maintain temperature
• Helps correct symptoms like a cold or intermittently heating warm zone, or uneven warming

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Allow the cooktop to be completely cool and handle glass or ceramic surfaces carefully
• Follow your appliance's service manual for safe removal and installation; use basic hand tools
• Do not install if the cooktop glass is cracked or damaged—replace the glass top first

This surface element supplies heat to a cooktop burner zone. Replace a failed element to restore reliable, even heating and consistent temperature control so your range responds properly when you adjust the knob.

• Converts electrical energy into radiant heat for cooking
• Cycles on/off to maintain the temperature set by the control
• Resolves: burner won't heat, heats slowly or intermittently, stuck on high/low, or visible hot spots/damage
• Helps address nuisance tripping from a shorted element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access typically requires lifting/removing the cooktop; note wire locations and transfer one at a time
• Handle the element by the frame; avoid touching the heating surface and secure all clips/brackets as found
• Test the burner operation before final reassembly

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.

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for cooking on the stovetop. Designed to fit seamlessly into the range, this element ensures even heating and efficient energy use, allowing for precise temperature control during cooking.

Causes of a bad surface element can include normal wear and tear, electrical faults, or damage from cookware. Over time, repeated heating and cooling cycles can cause the element to degrade, while physical impacts or spills can also lead to malfunction.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• Inconsistent or uneven heating
• The element not heating up at all
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• Sparks or unusual noises when the element is turned on
