• The oven failing to heat or operate heating cycles fully
• Heating elements abruptly shutting off during baking  
• An unusual burning smell emanating from the oven

This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore oven models as well.
