Whirlpool Range Dual Radiant Surface Element W11259508 — Fixes Burner Not Heating / Restores Dual-Zone Heat
🇺🇸 Matching U.S. Part Number: W11259508
W11259508 is a genuine Whirlpool dual radiant surface element rated for 1200/3200 watts. It is used in select Whirlpool, KitchenAid, JennAir and Maytag electric ranges and built-in cooktops. It replaces discontinued OEM number W11117008.
The element provides a smaller inner heating zone and a larger combined cooking zone. A failed heating circuit may cause the burner not to heat, heat unevenly or operate on only one zone.
Similar symptoms can also result from a defective infinite switch, electronic control, damaged wiring, loose terminal connection or power-supply problem. Confirm the complete appliance model, element position and electrical diagnosis before ordering.
Disconnect electrical power at the circuit breaker before service. Radiant cooktop glass and element supports can be damaged if handled incorrectly.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
Confirm all of the following before ordering:
- ✔ Appliance powers on and other burners work normally
- ✔ Inspect the element terminals, wiring connectors and surrounding insulation for heat damage or arcing
- ✔ Household circuit breaker is not tripping on other zones
- ✔ The symptoms do not independently confirm element failure — test the element circuits and associated control before replacement

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Burner won't heat at all on any setting
- Burner heats slowly or never reaches full temperature
- Only the 1200-watt inner zone or only the combined dual-zone output is active
- Visible cracks, breaks, or dark spots in the element coil
- Element glows unevenly across its surface
- Burner trips the circuit breaker when switched on
A failed element is one possible cause; the switch, controls, wiring and supply circuit must also be checked.
May restore both heating zones when diagnosis confirms that the original element is defective.
