Whirlpool Surface Element W11047722 OEM Part

The Whirlpool range, stove, or oven heating element serves as a standard OEM replacement part, efficiently restoring heat to an electric range's cooktop. This 2500-watt radiant surface element is suitable for multiple brands within the Whirlpool family, including Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Moreover, Whirlpool also provides elements compatible with products from Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Before replacing a faulty or damaged cooktop heating element, disconnect the electric range from its power source by unplugging it or switching off the circuit breaker. You will need a multi-screwdriver and needle-nose pliers for the installation process.

Failures in the heating element can be attributed to regular wear, electrical issues, or physical damage from spills or high heat exposure. Indications of the need for replacement include inconsistent heating, an absence of heat, or visible damage such as cracks. Installing a new element ensures uniform cooking temperatures and optimal performance of your electric range.
