Amana Range ART6511 E Element will not heat

The Small Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool electric ranges and cooktops. This heating element is responsible for providing heat to a specific area on the cooktop, typically used for smaller pots and pans. It ensures even and efficient heating, allowing for precise cooking control.

Causes of a bad surface element can include regular wear and tear, overheating, or electrical malfunctions. A malfunctioning surface element can result in uneven heating, longer cooking times, or no heat at all.

Symptoms of a bad small surface element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven or inconsistent heating
• Sparks or electrical arcing when the element is turned on
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Restore reliable, even heat to a single cooking zone with this surface heating element. It replaces a failed top burner element on an electric range or cooktop so pots and pans heat consistently for everyday cooking. What it does:

• Supplies controlled heat to one cooktop burner zone
• Helps resolve: burner won't heat, intermittent heating, or very slow heat-up
• Can address uneven heating or visible damage to the element
• Replaces an open/failed element to restore normal cooking performance

• 1 surface heating element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely before servicing
• Access the element per your model's service manual; support the cooktop if lifting a glass top
• Note wire locations and transfer connections one at a time to the new element
• Secure the element with existing brackets/clips as designed, then test operation before reassembly

The infinite switch regulates power to your range or cooktop's surface element, letting you set heat from low to high. Replace a failed switch to restore dependable burner control and consistent cooking performance.

• Regulates on/off power cycling to the surface element based on the knob setting
• Helps resolve no-heat, stuck-on-high, won't-turn-off, or erratic/uneven heat issues
• Often controls the surface "on" indicator light circuit; failure may affect the light
• Installs behind the control knob and connects to the existing wire harness

• Disconnect power at the breaker; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Remove the knob and access panel to reach the switch
• Photograph wiring and transfer wires to the same labeled terminals (commonly L1, L2, H1, H2, P)
• Reassemble, restore power, and test multiple heat settings; check the element and wiring

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ovens. Located at the bottom of the oven cavity, it is responsible for providing the consistent heat necessary for baking and roasting. This element ensures even cooking by heating up uniformly and maintaining the set temperature throughout the cooking process.

Over time, the bake element can wear out or become damaged due to repeated exposure to high temperatures, spills, or power surges. Normal wear and tear, as well as accidental impacts during oven cleaning or rack adjustments, can also lead to the element malfunctioning.

Symptoms of a bad oven bake element include:

• The oven not heating up or reaching the set temperature
• Uneven baking or longer cooking times
• Visible signs of damage such as burns, blisters, or breaks in the element
• Sparking or unusual noises when the oven is in use
• The element not glowing red-hot during operation

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

Please Note. Due to a manufacturer change element may appear physically different from the original.
