W11396792 Whirlpool Coil Surface Element

The Coil Surface Element, a 6-inch OEM part designed for Whirlpool ranges, plays a crucial role in heating food by emitting heat from its coils beneath the stovetop grates. This element is also compatible with electric ranges from brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore, which are part of the Whirlpool family. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

When a coil surface element starts to fail, several signs may appear. These include slow or inconsistent heating of cookware, unevenly heated cooking surfaces with hot and cold spots, dim or unlit element coils, and unusual noises such as buzzing or crackling from the element area. Common causes of these issues include the buildup of mineral deposits on the coils, physical damage such as bends or breaks, or the natural deterioration of the heating filaments over time.

This genuine OEM part ensures reliability and compatibility with the specified Whirlpool and associated brand ranges, maintaining optimal performance.
