WPW10207400 Whirlpool Range Oven Broil Element – OEM Replacement
Restore peak broiling performance with the genuine WPW10207400 upper broil heating element. Designed to fit Whirlpool ranges and ovens exactly, this OEM replacement delivers the same power, reliability, and heat distribution as your original part. Because it’s a direct plug-in replacement, there’s no guesswork or modifications needed—just a straightforward fix that brings back top-down heat for browning, finishing, and searing without compromise.
Why this OEM broil element matters
The broil element is responsible for the intense top-down heat that browns the surface of dishes—think seared steaks, golden-tinished casseroles, and perfectly blistered tops. Located at the very top of the oven cavity, it heats to very high temperatures when you select the broil function. A failing broil element can create hot spots, crack or blister, or stop delivering top heat entirely. Replacing it with an OEM part ensures consistent performance, even heat, and reliable operation when you need it most.
