Whirlpool Broil Element WP660579 OEM Part

Whirlpool Corporation designs and manufactures an array of products across multiple brands, including but not limited to Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Additionally, Whirlpool provides products for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. The broil element, an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component, is specifically engineered for use in Whirlpool wall ovens and stove ranges. Installed at the top of the oven, this element furnishes intense heat from above, which is critical for achieving proper searing and browning of food.

Common signs that the broil element may not be functioning properly include:

- Insufficient or weak heating during the broiling function
- Unusually long preheating times
- Measurements approximately 12 inches wide by 19 inches long

Over time, the coil filaments within the broil element can deteriorate or break due to consistent exposure to high temperatures. Any visible damage, such as cracks or breaks in the coil, can impair the performance during the broiling function.

This genuine Whirlpool OEM part is also compatible with select appliances from brands like Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore.

Replacing the broil element can effectively address the following issues:

- Inadequate heat during broiling
- Element not generating heat
- Suboptimal heat production during baking functions
