Whirlpool Range RS696PXEB2 Element will not heat

The Oven Heating Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ovens. It is a crucial component responsible for generating the heat necessary for baking, roasting, and broiling in the oven cavity.

Causes of a bad oven heating element can include mechanical failure, electrical malfunctions, or simply reaching the end of its lifespan due to repeated heating and cooling cycles.

Symptoms of a bad oven heating element:

• Oven not heating up properly or failing to reach the set temperature
• Uneven heating or hot spots within the oven cavity
• Visible damage or breaks in the heating element coil
• Unusual smells or burning odors emanating from the oven

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

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.
