The Coil Surface Element is a 6-inch OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It is responsible for radiating heat from its coils to cook food positioned above the stovetop grates.
Symptoms of a faulty coil surface element include:
- Slow or uneven heating of pots and pans
- Hot and cold spots on cooking surfaces
- Element coils glowing dimly or not at all
- Buzzing or crackling noises coming from below cookware
Causes can be mineral deposits coating the coils over time, physical damage like bending or breaks, or standard wear of heating filaments inside.
This genuine OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with the electric ranges of Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore brands.
