Whirlpool Range Surface Element W11706247 – OEM Replacement Burner Element
An electric range burner that won’t heat, heats unevenly, or shows visible burn-through or breaks in the element coil almost always needs a new surface element. In most Whirlpool and Maytag electric ranges, the surface element is the resistive heating coil or radiant ribbon that converts electrical energy to heat at the cooktop — when the element burns through or develops an open circuit, that burner position stops working entirely or produces inconsistent heat. When it fails, the burner may glow in spots, produce no heat at all, or trip the infinite switch from overload. ⚡ Surface element failure is the most common cause of a dead burner on Whirlpool-platform electric ranges. Part W11706247 is the genuine OEM surface element that restores full burner heating immediately.

Is This the Right Part?
Confirm the complete model number before ordering. Similar parts may use different connectors, dimensions, hose positions, electrical ratings, or mounting points.
- ✔ Your range is a compatible Whirlpool or Maytag electric model
- ✔ The affected burner position produces no heat or uneven heat
- ✔ The infinite switch (burner control knob) tests good — continuity confirmed at multiple settings
- ✔ Power supply to the element terminals is confirmed
- ✔ ONLY problem is this burner position — not a control board, wiring, or multi-burner fault
- Burner not heating at all — no response at any switch setting
- Burner heats unevenly — glows in spots or only partially
- Visible break, burn-through, or blistering on the element coil
- Burner trips breaker or blows fuse when switched on — element shorted
- Burner glows red in isolated spots then goes dark — open circuit in coil
- Slow heat-up times despite correct switch setting
- Part Number: W11706247
- Type: Range Surface Element — Electric Burner Element
- Condition: Certified Pre-Owned — inspected and confirmed functional
- Brands: Whirlpool, Maytag (verify compatibility by full model number before ordering)
A surface element can be tested for continuity with a multimeter — a good element reads a finite resistance (typically 10–100 ohms depending on wattage); an open reading (OL) confirms the element has failed. If the element tests good but the burner still won’t heat, the infinite switch or terminal block is the more likely culprit. Testing first saves a return and gets you to the correct repair faster.
