WP660579 Whirlpool Range/Stove/Oven Broil Element

Range / Stove / Oven Broil Element
Whirlpool manufactures a range of products under various brand names including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool produces items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The broil element, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part, is designed for use in Whirlpool wall ovens and ranges. Positioned at the upper part of the oven, the broil element delivers high heat from above, which is essential for searing and browning food.

Indicators of a malfunctioning broil element are:

- Ineffective or minimal heating during the broil function
- Extended oven preheating times
- Dimensions: Roughly 12 inches wide by 19 inches long.

With repeated use, the coil filaments in the broil element may degrade or break due to continuous high heat exposure. Any visible cracks or breaks in the coil can reduce the element's broiling performance.

This authentic Whirlpool OEM replacement part is also suitable for use with appliances from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Replacing this part can resolve issues such as:

- Insufficient heat during the broiling process
- Element failing to heat
- Poor heat output when baking
