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.

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 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 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.

This switch bracket mounting seal replaces a worn or damaged seal that cushions and protects the door or control switch mounting area. It helps keep the switch assembly seated and reduces debris and moisture intrusion for reliable operation. What it does:

• Seals the switch bracket mounting area to protect the switch from lint, dust and moisture
• Helps keep the switch properly positioned for accurate door or control sensing
• Can prevent intermittent or failed switch contacts caused by contamination or misalignment
• Useful when replacing a brittle, torn or missing mounting seal during switch or door repairs

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Remove the door or panel per service instructions to access the switch bracket area
• Fit the seal into the bracket groove or around the switch housing, ensuring full seating without stretching
• Inspect adjacent clips or screws and reuse or replace as needed; test the switch function after reassembly

This latch knob screw secures the latch knob to its shaft on compatible appliances. Replace a missing, stripped, or rusted screw to restore a firm, reliable attachment and proper latch/knob operation. What it does:

• Attaches the latch knob securely to the latch mechanism/shaft
• Helps maintain proper door latch engagement and knob control
• Common fix for a loose, wobbly, or falling-off knob
• Replaces a lost, corroded, or cross-threaded screw

• 1 latch knob screw

• Disconnect power and allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Align the knob on the shaft and start the screw by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten with the correct screwdriver; do not overtighten to prevent damage
• The latch engages and releases smoothly after installation

This infinite switch controls power to a 6-inch surface element on an electric range or cooktop, allowing smooth heat adjustment from low to high. Replace a worn switch to restore consistent burner control and cooking performance.

• Regulates power to a 6-inch surface burner as you turn the knob
• Provides variable heat by cycling power on and off at the selected setting
• Typical failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only heats on high, won't adjust temperature, or won't shut off

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Pull off the control knob and access the switch from the control panel; note/take a photo of wire locations
• Transfer wires to the new switch one at a time to match terminals; mount the switch and reinstall knob/panel
• Restore power and test the 6-inch burner through all settings

This is the variable heat control for an 8-inch surface element. When the switch fails, the burner may stop heating, stay on high, or lose precise temperature control—replacing it restores smooth, adjustable cooking performance. What it does:

• Regulates power to the 8-inch surface element for variable heat settings
• Common symptoms: burner only on high, no heat, won't shut off, or won't adjust temperature
• Restores proper cycling of the element for consistent heating
• Matches the 8-inch element position designated on the appliance

• 1 surface burner infinite switch
