Whirlpool Range Has No Power or Trips Repeatedly? Range Breaker WP9757601 — Restore Power Fast
When a Whirlpool electric range loses power to one or more elements, trips its internal breaker repeatedly, or fails to reset after a power surge, the range breaker is the most common root cause. In most Whirlpool and Maytag electric ranges and cooktops, the 15 amp range breaker protects the surface element circuits from overload. When it fails or trips permanently, the affected burner circuit goes dead and cannot be restored by resetting the home breaker. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool-built electric ranges and cooktops. Part WP9757601 is the genuine OEM 15 amp replacement breaker that restores full circuit protection and element power with a direct plug-in installation.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your Whirlpool or Maytag electric range powers on but one or more surface elements have no power
- ✔ The home circuit breaker is confirmed good and has not tripped
- ✔ The surface element and infinite switch have been confirmed functional
- ✔ ONLY problem is a dead burner circuit or a breaker that trips and won’t reset — not a complete range failure

If the range breaker failed due to an element overload, inspect the surface element that was on the tripped circuit before restoring power. A shorted or cracked element will immediately trip the new breaker again. Replacing the faulty element at the same time as the breaker ensures the repair holds and prevents a repeat failure.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: Easy — 15 to 30 minutes. Disconnect power at the home breaker before servicing. The range breaker is typically located in the control panel or terminal block area — remove the rear access panel or lift the cooktop to access it. Unclip or unscrew the old breaker, note the wire positions, transfer the wires to the new breaker in the same configuration, and snap it into place. Restore power and test each burner circuit to confirm normal operation.

💡 Pro Tip
Electric ranges typically use two range breakers — one per burner circuit group. If one breaker has failed, the other has been running under the same conditions and is likely near the end of its service life. Replacing both at the same time costs very little extra and eliminates the need for a second service call when the second breaker fails shortly after.
