The Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool wall ovens and ranges. This heating element is responsible for the broiling function of the oven.
Located at the top of the oven cavity, the broil element functions by directing intense radiant heat downward to cook and brown food from above.
Causes may include natural wear and damage over prolonged high-heat use. Electrical malfunctions inside the element can also cause premature failure.
Symptoms of a bad broil element include:
- Failure of the broil function
- Diminished or uneven heating during broil cycles
- The presence of cracks, breaks or corrosion on the heating coils
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Burned out oven element Larry M. • Crumpler , NC • September 21, 2021
Only the lower element was burned out, but I opted to replace both. Ordered from AppliancePartsPros and received them very quickly! A few screws, unplug and plug in the new elements, replaced the screws, and DONE! This has to be one of the easiest repairs a homeowner can do. Thanks, AppliancePartsPros for carrying the original equipment parts and providing the fast shipping!
