Current Part NumberWPW10259865
Common Symptoms
- Burner does not heat at any setting
- Element does not retain heat
- Intermittent heating caused by poor terminal insertion or a damaged element
- Element heats unevenly or fails to reach normal cooking temperature
Check Before Replacing
- Turn the range controls off, disconnect appliance power, and allow the element to cool completely before inspection.
- Confirm the coil element is fully and correctly inserted into the receptacle.
- Visually inspect the coil for a visible break, blistering, severe discoloration, or damaged looped terminals.
- Inspect the receptacle and terminals for corrosion, looseness, or heat damage; do not operate if they appear damaged.
- With power disconnected and the element removed, a qualified person may check continuity/resistance across the element terminals using an appropriate multimeter; an open circuit indicates a broken heating path, but a normal reading does not by itself prove the complete range circuit is functional.
Pro Tip
A coil that glows less brightly or cycles on and off is not necessarily defective; temperature-limiting coil elements may cycle normally during operation. Verify proper insertion and cookware-to-element size before replacing the part.
