Whirlpool Range Dual Radiant Surface Element W10823727 – Fix Cooktop No-Heat & Uneven Heating Fast
Your electric range burner stops heating, heats only on one ring, or won’t reach temperature — and the dual radiant surface element is almost always the cause. In most Whirlpool, KitchenAid, and Maytag electric ranges, the dual radiant element is the primary large-burner heat source rated at 1900W (inner) and 3000W (outer). When it fails, one or both zones stop working entirely. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool-built electric ranges. Part W10823727 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full dual-zone heating and gets your range back to full performance.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your range powers on and other burners work normally
- ✔ The affected burner is the large dual-ring element (inner + outer zone)
- ✔ Outlet voltage and breaker confirmed OK
- ✔ ONLY problem is no heat, partial heat, or uneven heating on this burner

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Large burner produces no heat on either ring
- Only inner or outer ring heats — other zone is dead
- Burner glows briefly then cuts out mid-cook
- Visible burn marks, breaks, or blistering on the element coil
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the cooktop system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this surface element restores full dual-zone heating immediately.

Check the infinite switch (burner switch) for this element at the same time. A failed infinite switch produces identical symptoms and is often the root cause when the element tests good on a multimeter. Replacing both in one service call eliminates a costly callback.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Moderate — 20–30 minutes. Disconnect power before servicing. Mark all wire terminal positions before removal — terminal IDs (1A, 1B, 2A, 2B) must be matched exactly on the new element. Remove the cooktop, disconnect the wiring harness, unscrew the old element, and install the new W10823727. If your range has a halogen hot light or EPIC sensor on the old element, transfer it to the new one before reinstalling. Restore power and test both heat zones.

💡 Pro Tip
This element uses terminal IDs (1A-1A, 1B-1B, 2A-2A, 2B-2B) that must be matched exactly. Swapping terminals causes the element to run at the wrong wattage or not at all. Use masking tape and a marker to label each wire before pulling the old element — takes 30 seconds and prevents a frustrating reinstall.
