Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Surface Heating Element (Top Burner) (Part Number: OEM18092805)

1 Answer

Mike L., You would need to use a multimeter to see if there is power to the element/limiter. If so the element assembly would be the issue. If no power then you would have an issue with the infinite switch.

Steve, the infinite switches WP7403P238-60 would need to be tested for 240VAC from terminal H1 to terminal H2 when the switch is turned on. If there is not 240VAC, the switch has failed. If there is, the element W10823704 has failed.

Randy, if the serial number of your appliance begins with 10, 11, or 12 then the element would be part number W10823703. If the serial number begins with 13 or higher, then the element would be part number W10823709.

Austin, You will want to check to make sure that the dual element outer ring is not burnt out. If it is not then the is will be a faulty element. For the issue of inconsistent temps then this would require a new element due to a faulty sensor.

Poppie, The manufacturer has reconfigured this element. One of the 2 terminals that was on the element itself had a black jumper on the original that went from the inner terminal to the inner terminal on the limiter. They have discontinued use of that jumper wire and have bridged both of the wires to the limiter. So the wire that was on the outer part of the element will connect to that inner most terminal on the limiter where the bridge is and the other 3 wires will connect the same as the original . This is the reason for only 4 terminals on the new part.

Hello Richard, the right front burner was part number W10212682. Unfortunately the manufacturer has discontinued this part and did not supply a suitable replacement to take it's place. Thanks!
