The Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is designed to provide intense, direct heat from the top of the oven cavity during the broiling function. The broil element is a key component responsible for achieving the desired browning and charring effects when broiling foods.
Symptoms of a bad broil element include:
- Uneven or incomplete broiling of foods
- Failure of the element to heat up or maintain consistent temperature
- Visible signs of damage or deterioration on the element surface
- Flickering or irregular heating patterns during broiling
Causes of a bad broil element can include prolonged use and exposure to high temperatures, which can lead to the element becoming brittle and prone to cracking or breaking. Electrical issues, such as power surges or faulty connections, can also contribute to premature failure of the broil element.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
