Kitchenaid Range KESI901PBL01 Element will not heat

The Large Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. As a key heat source, it withstands significant thermal stresses each use for cooking tasks. This surface element measures approximately 10” in diameter.

Over time, microfractures may accumulate in the ceramic glass from repetitive heating/cooling cycles. Mineral deposits also build up on the surface, reducing heat transfer effectiveness.

Symptoms involve:

• Inconsistent or diminished heat from the designated zone 
• Noticeable cracks, clouding or chips in the glass material
• Safety hazards if integrity is lost, exposing electrical/gas

The element is compatible also for select KitchenAid and Maytag appliances.

The Surface Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges and cooktops. Specifically designed for the 7" cooktop element, the entire body of the Surface Element measures approximately 8" in diameter. It generates and distributes heat evenly across the cooktop.

Causes of a bad Surface Element can include electrical issues, such as wiring problems or a malfunctioning switch, and physical damage or wear that impairs its heating capability.

Symptoms of a bad Surface Element include:

• Inconsistent heating or failure to heat
• Visible damage to the element, such as burns or breaks
• The element not responding to the control switch
• Uneven cooking results due to fluctuating temperatures

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

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.

This infinite switch controls the variable heat settings for a cooktop surface burner so you can adjust cooking temperature smoothly and restore proper burner operation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so burners heat at selected settings
• Replaces a worn or failed control that causes burners to stay off or not heat properly
• Fixes burners that only work on one setting or won't respond to the knob
• Helps eliminate inconsistent or fluctuating burner temperatures

• Disconnect power to the range before starting any work to avoid electrical shock
• Accessible from the cooktop or back panel depending on model; remove panels carefully
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting; reconnect wires to matching terminals

The Thermal Fuse is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It acts as a safety device that cuts off power to the oven if it overheats, preventing potential damage or fire hazards.

Causes of a bad thermal fuse can include prolonged exposure to high temperatures, electrical surges, or faulty oven components that cause overheating. When the fuse blows, it disrupts the electrical circuit, rendering the oven inoperative until the fuse is replaced.

Symptoms of a bad Thermal Fuse include:

• The oven not heating up
• The control panel not lighting up
• The oven not turning on at all
• Sudden shutdowns during operation

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

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for providing the high heat necessary for broiling food, located at the top of the oven cavity. This element ensures even and consistent heating for broiling.

Over time, the broil element can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad broil element can include electrical issues, excessive use, or physical damage from cleaning or handling.

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• The broil function not working
• Uneven heating during broiling
• Visible damage or breaks in the element

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

For small element with rating of 1800Watt. Typically for right front or left rear element.
