How to Troubleshoot & Replace Whirlpool AP6030938 / W10823716 Surface Heating Element, Top Burner Element

I ordered the replacement part and undid two screws on the front of the cooktop then used a nut driver to undo the clamps holding the burner in.I took a picture of the wiring then used needle nose pliers to gently pull the connectors off the terminals. reinstalling you just line up the new burner with the old one and screw the clamps back on. there are no predrilled holes the screws just bite into the insulation. 

I ordered the parts & received them 4 days later. In less than an hour my stove was up and running again. The "do it yourself" portion of Appliance Parts Pro website was very helpful and I really like saving on the cost to repair. 

Replaced the upper handle. Removed the upper oven surface, cleaned and replaced the left front element. All parts came on time and were easy to replace. Saved me 100's of dollars from an appliance pro. Appliance Parts Pros will be where I shop for parts first. 

After purchasing this product, I looked at a few YouTube videos. Then I unscrewed two screws to get the glass top off. Lifted it gently. Then matched undid the wires. At first, it was difficult as I had to pry them off. Do not bend the circle things. It took a while, but I got the hang of it taking the wires off. Once off, I just matched the wires, ie. 2b with 2b, and 1a with 1a. Very simple. Then screwed the new burner back on. Turned on the circuit breaker and I tested it one at a time. It worked! I am sure I saved a lot of money, time and energy by doing it myself. You can also do the same - Very Easy! 

Unplug stove, or turn power off at breaker. Remove 2 phillips screws at front Left/Right corners of top. Raise top to vertical position. Note (take pic) of wire positions on burner. Remove wires carefully from burner terminals with needle nose pliers. Remove 2 burner retention bolts with wrench. Remove burner. FOLLOW ENCLOSED DIRECTIONS TO INSTALL NEW BURNER. Note, wire/terminal positions were different with replacement burner. Replace stove top. replace 2 screws. Plug in stove/ turn on breaker. Test burner. 

I chatted with your customer service and got the right part number. Then I ordered on your website. When the part arrived, I just put in very easy. Thanks! 

I did it myself. It was very easy to fix. Shut off circuit breaker for the stove, removed 2 screws under the top holding the glass top in place. Then removed the screws and pulled out the electrical clamps holding the broken element in place. Next, slide the new element in place and tightened the screws. I just saved myself a service call that would have been around $100. Bobbie
