Hardwick Range EPF7-51819AE Element will not heat

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part provides the intense, direct heat necessary for broiling. This part is located at the top of the oven cavity and is essential for achieving high temperatures needed for tasks like browning and searing.

Causes of a bad broil element can include electrical issues such as short circuits, damage from spills or food debris, and general wear and tear from repeated use.  

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• The oven not reaching broil temperatures
• Inconsistent or uneven broiling
• The element not glowing red when in use
• Visible signs of damage or burning on the element

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