W10823711 Whirlpool Radiant Surface Element for Ranges

Radiant Surface Element for Ranges.

Whirlpool's product line includes brands such as Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool manufactures components for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. This Radiant Surface Element is an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part designed for use in Whirlpool ranges. It plays a crucial role in heating the cooktop surface to the user's set temperature. Constructed from a robust metal coil, this element efficiently and evenly distributes heat across the burners, facilitating effective boiling, sautéing, and simmering of foods.

Factors that may impair the element's performance include accumulated grime or mineral deposits that block effective heat transfer, or damage from using unsuitable cookware that may cause the coils to crack or warp.

Indicators of a malfunctioning element are:

- Burners not heating adequately or heating slowly
- Uneven heating or inconsistent temperatures across the coils
- Presence of hotspots or areas that do not heat
- Physical signs of wear such as cracks or deformations in the coil

This OEM part is compatible with various range models from Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, and Kenmore.

Common issues this part addresses include:

- Element failing to heat
- Appliance failing to start
