Customer Questions and Answers for 8 Inch Large Surface Element by Whirlpool

Best Seller
Manufacturer Part
4.89 (64)
By: Whirlpool
Part Number: OEM18030579
Manufacturer Part Number: WP660533

The 8-inch large Surface Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool induction ranges. It serves as an integral independent heating zone to boil, sauté or simmer large pots quickly.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include: 

  • Inability to power on or heat evenly across the surface
  • Slow inconsistent heating or hot/cold zones developing  
  • Parts of the coil visibly cracked or disconnected
  • Tripped circuit breakers upon heat-up that don't reset

Causes stem from normal thermal stress fatigue of coiled elements exceeding thousands of temperature cycles daily. Continuous high wattage energy may cause microscopic metal deterioration developing over a decade plus of use.

This genuine Whirlpool replacement part is compatible with Kenmore, Roper and Jenn-Air ranges.

For matching 6-inch element order WP660532.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool 8 Inch Large Surface Element (Part Number: OEM18030579)

1 Answer

Hello Norma, you can measure from end to end to get the diameter of your element. This should be close to the measurement of the unit, however if your unit only has 2 sizes. The smaller of the 2 would be a 6" element and the bigger would be the 8" element. Thanks!

James R for Model Number whirlpool electric range RF365PXGN0

As shown on your website, take a look at the close-up views of the looped terminal ends on both the 6" and 8" replacement burner elements. There is a small, steel bracket which keeps the terminal ends separated and in place. On the 6" element (part # WP660532), the weld is broken loose on the bracket which allows one element terminal to move about. On the 8" element (part # WP660533), the weld is intact. I have found this to be the case on the old 6" elements I'm replacing, and the new replacements as well. I would venture to say that this broken weld is a Whirlpool manufacturing defect, and the nationwide supply of these 6" elements would no doubt evidence the same broken weld. My questions: Have you noticed this in your own inventory? And do you believe it presents any problem to use them regardless of the weld issue?

James, With this issue, we are not showing any information on the weld breaking on the part.

Hello Wendy, The model number should be on the units' I.D. tag, normally behind the drawer front on the units' frame. I'm sorry but this is necessary information for us to locate parts that we can guarantee will fit and operate properly on your unit. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Jun, Without a model number we can't tell if you had a "convection" oven range or not. The "convection" portion of the controls pertain to the oven, not the cooktop burner elements. Sounds more like you may have had a faulty infinite control switch for the burner(s), or you were setting the controls incorrectly.

Sue, The coil element isn't the problem, they either work or don't work. The temperature or heat setting is controlled through the infinite switch W10900107 / 4391989, Replace the switch and you should be fine. The part is in stock and available at this time. Thanks,
