Maytag Range JER8895BAS12 Element will not heat

The Surface Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for heating the cooktop surface to the desired temperature selected by the user. Made of durable metal coil construction, the element surface quickly distributes heat evenly across burners to boil, sauté or simmer foods effectively. 

Causes of a bad element includes baked-on grime or mineral buildup inhibiting heat transfer or damage due to the use of improper cookware that has cracked or warped the coils over time.

Symptoms of a bad element includes:

• Burners failing to heat up fully or taking a long time 
• Inconsistent or uneven heating across coils
• Hotspots or deadzones in cooking areas
• Visible damage like cracks or bends in coil construction

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

The Lower Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is positioned at the bottom of the oven and is primarily responsible for producing the heat required for baking. By converting electrical energy into heat, this element ensures consistent and even cooking temperatures, crucial for achieving perfect baking results. 

Symptoms of a bad Lower Bake Element include:

• Lack of heat in the oven, leading to undercooked food,
• Uneven baking with some parts of the food less cooked than others,
• Visible damage or breakage in the element itself,
• No glow from the element when the oven is turned on.

Causes of bake element failure typically involve burnout from continual use, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or connections, or physical damage.

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

The Oven Broil Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is responsible for providing the necessary heat for broiling, ensuring that food is cooked evenly from above.

Causes of a bad broil element can include electrical malfunctions, wear and tear from regular use, or damage from high temperatures and thermal cycling over time. These issues can impair the element's ability to heat properly.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• The broil element not heating up
• Uneven cooking or broiling results
• Visible damage, such as blisters or breaks in the element
• The oven not reaching the desired broiling temperature

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

Note: If you are unable to use your old connectors, order part number TJMA02875-1.

This replacement surface element restores proper heating on an electric range or cooktop's top burner. When the original element is open, weak, or damaged, it helps the selected cooking zone reach temperature and heat more evenly.

• Converts electrical power into heat at the chosen surface zone for everyday cooking
• Replaces an element that is open, shorted, or physically damaged
• Common symptoms: surface burner won't heat, heats intermittently, heats very slowly, or shows uneven temperatures
• Works with existing controls to maintain set heat levels

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Access the element per your model's service procedure (often by lifting the top or accessing from beneath the cooktop)
• Transfer wires one at a time to the matching terminals; secure the element and any brackets as originally installed
• Inspect connectors/wiring for heat damage and address as needed before restoring power and testing

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens and ranges, designed to provide consistent and even heating for baking. This heating element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for the majority of the heat generated during baking, ensuring that your dishes are cooked thoroughly and evenly. 

Causes of a bad Bake Element can range from normal wear and tear to excessive use or a sudden electrical surge that can damage the internal components of the element. 

Symptoms of a bad Bake Element include:

• Lack of heat in the oven 
• The element not glowing red when the oven is turned on 
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks
• Uneven cooking or baking results 

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

The Broil Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool ranges. It is a vital heating component located at the top of the oven cavity that provides intense radiant heat for broiling functions. 

Symptoms of a bad Broil Element include:

• Inability to engage broil mode  
• Poor or negligible heating from the broiler
• Tripped circuit breakers when trying to broil
• Visible cracks, breaks, or damage to the broil element

Causes of failure can include deterioration over many heating and cooling cycles. Metal fatigue from constant expansion and contraction eventually causes cracking or breakage. 

This replacement broil element also fits Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore models.

The Large Element Switch is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It regulates the heat output of the large heating element on the cooktop, allowing users to adjust the cooking temperature as needed.

Causes of a bad switch can include wear and tear from regular use, electrical issues, or damage from high heat exposure over time.

Symptoms of a bad large element switch include:

• The large element not heating or staying on continuously
• Inconsistent or incorrect heat levels
• The switch not responding or feeling loose
• The element turning off unexpectedly 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 Oven Temperature Sensor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This sensor is essential for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, ensuring that it reaches and maintains the correct temperature for baking and cooking. The sensor is approximately 7 inches long.

Over time, the oven temperature sensor can fail due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, exposure to spills or grease, or electrical issues. When the sensor malfunctions, it can result in inaccurate temperature readings, affecting cooking performance and food quality.

Symptoms of a bad oven temperature sensor include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Food cooking unevenly or not fully
• The oven overheating or underheating
• Error codes related to temperature issues

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