The W10804429 is the OEM broil element for Whirlpool-platform electric ranges and wall ovens. The broil element is the upper heating element in your oven — it provides intense top-down radiant heat for broiling meats, melting cheese, and browning the tops of casseroles.

The broil element (W10804429) is a resistance heating coil mounted at the top of the oven cavity. When energized, it glows red-hot and radiates heat downward onto food placed on the upper rack. A failed element typically shows visible burn marks, blistering, or a break in the coil. In some cases the element fails internally with no visible damage — a continuity test with a multimeter will confirm failure.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my broil element is bad?
Visually inspect the element for burn marks, blistering, or a visible break in the coil. If there is no visible damage, use a multimeter set to continuity or resistance — a healthy element will show continuity; an open reading (OL) confirms failure. Contact us if you need help diagnosing.

Can I use the bake function if the broil element is broken?
Yes — the bake element (lower element) and broil element are separate components. A failed broil element will not affect baking unless the element has shorted and tripped the breaker.

Is this a DIY repair?
Yes — replacing an oven broil element is one of the more straightforward appliance repairs. It requires only a screwdriver and takes approximately 15–30 minutes. Always disconnect power at the breaker first.

Will this element fit my range or wall oven?
