Whirlpool WP8285230 Surface Element 1200W Ribbon

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WP8285230 is a 1200-watt ribbon-style surface heating element designed as an OEM replacement for Whirlpool electric cooktops. Ribbon elements use a flat, coiled resistance wire to generate heat across the cooking surface and are known for fast heat-up response and consistent contact with flat-bottom cookware. This element measures 11.82 inches by 10.32 inches with a profile depth of 2.81 inches. Installation is typically performed by an appliance technician during a service call or countertop cooktop swap-out.

This surface element is intended for use in Whirlpool electric cooktops where the OEM ribbon-style element has failed, burned out, or become physically damaged. The 1200-watt rating places it in the medium-output category, suited for general cooking tasks on built-in electric cooktop units. Specific compatible models are listed below. This element is a direct OEM-style replacement, restoring original factory wattage output and fitment.
