Jenn-Air Cartridge A100B Element will not heat

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops. It is a crucial component that provides a secure connection point for electrical wires and cables within the appliance's control system.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block kit:

• Intermittent power supply or electrical issues
• Burnt or melted wires or connectors
• Appliance not receiving or responding to electrical signals correctly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

Causes of a bad terminal block kit include excessive heat exposure, loose connections, moisture or water damage, or simply wear and tear over time.

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

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. This component is essential for providing the heat necessary for cooking on the stove, converting electrical energy into the heat needed to cook food.

Over time, surface elements can become faulty due to wear and tear, overheating, or electrical issues. Replacing a bad surface element ensures the appliance continues to perform effectively and safely.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• The element not heating up or only heating intermittently
• Visible damage such as burns or breaks in the element
• Uneven cooking due to inconsistent heat distribution
• The element not responding to temperature adjustments

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

Note: For the 6-inch element, order WPY04100165.

The 8 Inch Large Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool cooktops and ranges, designed to provide reliable and consistent heat for cooking. This large surface element is crucial for performing a wide range of cooking tasks, from boiling water to frying and sautéing.  For matching 6 inch element order WP660532.

The primary reasons for replacing the 8 Inch Large Surface Element often involve wear and tear from regular use, physical damage, or electrical issues within the element itself. 

Symptoms indicating the need for a replacement 8 Inch Large Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up, indicating a failure to provide the necessary cooking temperature
• Uneven heating, resulting in inconsistent cooking results
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, peeling, or cracking
• The element heating slowly or not maintaining the desired temperature during use

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

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part provides heat to the cooking surface, allowing for the preparation of food. 

Common causes of a bad surface element include electrical faults, physical damage from heavy cookware, or degradation from constant heating and cooling cycles.

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• Inconsistent or uneven heating
• The element not heating up at all
• Visible damage such as burns or breaks in the coil
• Sparking or unusual noises when the element is turned on

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

This contact spade is a push-on electrical terminal used to connect an appliance wire lead to a component's blade. Replacing a worn or heat-damaged connector restores a secure fit and consistent power flow.

• Creates a reliable electrical connection between a wire lead and a flat spade terminal on a component
• Helps prevent arcing, heat build-up, and intermittent power caused by loose or burned terminals
• Common symptoms include: component won't power or heat, intermittent operation, visible discoloration or melting at the connector
• Direct replacement for a damaged or fatigued push-on terminal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match the size/orientation to the original terminal and replace any discolored or heat-damaged wiring/insulation
• Use an appropriate crimp tool to attach the terminal to the wire lead; ensure a firm crimp
• Push fully onto the mating blade for a tight, secure connection

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This plastic terminal block insulator protects the dryer's power terminal area by covering exposed connections and helping prevent accidental shorts or arcing. Replaces a cracked or melted insulator to restore basic electrical protection at the terminal block. What it does:

• Covers and insulates the terminal block to reduce risk of electrical shorts and arcing
• Keeps wiring routed and separated at the power connection point
• Helps prevent damage from heat or contact that can lead to melting or sparking
• Commonly replaced when the original insulator is cracked, burned, or deformed

• Always disconnect power (unplug or shut off house circuit) before servicing electrical components.
• Inspect terminal block and wiring for heat damage; replace damaged wires or terminals as needed.
• Ensure terminals are cool and dry before reinstalling the insulator; seat it fully over the block for proper protection.
