The Broil Element is an OEM component for Whirlpool wall ovens and ranges. Located at the top of the oven cavity, the broil element is responsible for providing intense heat from above for searing and browning foods. The element measures approximately 12" wide x 19" long.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• The broil function not working or heating very little
• Oven takes a long time to preheat

Over many uses, the coil filaments within the broil element can weaken and break from prolonged exposure to high heat. Cracks and breaks in the coil will diminish the element's ability to efficiently produce quality broiling results.

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

The LP Gas Conversion Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool appliances. This kit allows for the conversion of natural gas appliances to use liquid propane (LP) gas. It includes all necessary components, such as orifices and instructions, to ensure a safe and efficient conversion.

Over time or due to specific needs, you might need to convert your appliance from natural gas to LP gas. Causes for needing this conversion include moving to an area where only LP gas is available or preferring LP gas due to its efficiency and environmental benefits.

Symptoms indicating the need for a gas conversion kit include:

• Moving to a location that only supplies LP gas
• Changing energy preferences for better efficiency
• Appliances set up for natural gas needing adaptation to LP gas

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

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This part heats the oven's interior during the baking process. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electricity passes through it, allowing for consistent and even cooking.

Causes of damage to the Oven Bake Element can include normal wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of food debris causing hot spots and potential burns out, or electrical issues leading to shorts or surges that damage the element.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include:

• Visible signs of damage to the element, such as blistering, holes, or breaks in the element itself.
• The oven failing to heat up at all
• A lack of visible glowing from the element during operation
