WPY04000048 Whirlpool Broil Element for Range/Stove/Oven

Broil Element for Range/Stove/Oven.

This Broil Element is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for various Whirlpool appliances, including brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, it fits certain Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. The element functions by quickly and evenly distributing heat from above, ensuring foods achieve a uniformly crispy and browned surface.

Over time, the element may show signs of wear such as cracks or breaks in the heating coils, which can lead to insufficient heat production and ineffective broiling.

Common indicators of a malfunctioning broil element include:
- Uneven or patchy browning of food.
- Lower broiling efficiency, leading to longer cooking times.
- Absence of heat during the broil setting.
- Frequent blowing of fuses or tripping of circuit breakers during broil attempts.

This replacement part addresses issues such as minimal or no heat during broiling and elements failing to heat up. It is compatible with various models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore ranges.
