Whirlpool Range YKERA807PC02 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.

This infinite switch controls a cooktop burner's heat output, letting the surface element cycle between temperature settings for precise cooking. Replaces a worn or failed control to restore proper surface-element operation and heat regulation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a single top/burner surface element so heat increases or decreases smoothly
• Common repair for burners that won't heat, won't change temperature, or stay too hot/cold
• Restores cycling behavior when the element fails to turn on or off at selected settings
• Works with standard knob-style cooktop controls that use infinite-switch technology

• One infinite switch

• Disconnect power to the range or cooktop before starting any repair
• Label and photograph wiring before removal to ensure correct reconnection
• Access may require removing the surface element and control panel; handle ceramic and wiring with care

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.
