Kitchenaid Range KDRP407HSS1 Element will not heat

The Broil Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. It works to radiate intense heat from the top of the oven cavity, allowing for quick and effective broiling of foods placed directly underneath. The broil element relies on protective coatings to withstand high temperatures and insulated filaments to safely conduct electric current without damage.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• Slow or ineffective broiling
• Uneven or lackluster browning of broiled foods
• The oven cavity not reaching high enough temperatures for broiling
• Ovens not functioning properly on the broil setting

Causes of a bad broil element can be deterioration of protective coatings over long-term use, damage to filaments from wear and tear, or burns/breaks from contact with other oven surfaces.

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

The Upper Oven Thermal Fuse is an OEM part compatible with Whirlpool double wall ovens. Located near the upper oven heating element, this safety device protects the upper oven cavity from excessive heat rises. If temperatures get too high, the fuse automatically cuts power to prevent overheating.

Symptoms of a blown upper oven thermal fuse include:

• The upper oven failing to heat or losing total heating function
• Burning smells emanating from the upper oven cavity
• Safety shutdown errors related to over-temperature conditions

Common causes are airflow restriction trapping heat or faulty wiring allowing overheating. Natural aging also deteriorates fuses over extended use cycles.

Compatible brands include KitchenAid, Jenn-Air and some Kenmore wall oven models.

The Oven Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This component is responsible for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, sending data to the control board to maintain the desired cooking temperature. It ensures accurate temperature readings, which are essential for baking, roasting, and other cooking functions. 

Causes of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, which can degrade its responsiveness over time. Additionally, physical damage or wear and tear can lead to inaccurate temperature readings.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Temperature Sensor include:

• The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting.
• Food is not cooking evenly or as expected.
• The oven fails to reach the set temperature, or it overshoots it significantly.
• Error codes related to temperature regulation appear on the oven's display.

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
