Whirlpool WPW10248259 Surface Element

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL WPW10248259 is a replacement surface element designed for electric cooktops and ranges. Surface elements provide the resistive heating coil or radiant heat source that transfers thermal energy to cookware placed on the cooktop surface. This part is installed by appliance service technicians during routine maintenance or when the original element fails to heat properly, heats unevenly, or shows visible damage. It is an OEM-style replacement intended to restore factory heating performance to the affected burner position.

This surface element is suited for residential electric range and cooktop applications. It fits into the burner receptacle on the cooktop deck and connects through the terminal block or receptacle assembly. Technicians typically encounter this replacement during service calls for no-heat or partial-heat complaints at a single burner position. Confirm the element style and terminal configuration match the original before installation.

Key Features

• OEM-style replacement restores original heating performance to the cooktop burner position
• Designed for resistive electric heating on residential cooktop and range applications
• Connects through standard burner receptacle for straightforward swap-out service
• Direct replacement reduces diagnostic time and callback risk

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement surface element for residential WHIRLPOOL electric ranges and cooktops. Verify terminal type, element diameter, and wattage rating against the original part before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified appliance service technician. Disconnect power to the range or cooktop at the circuit breaker before beginning any service work. Remove the original element by lifting and pulling the terminals free from the receptacle, then seat the replacement element terminals fully into the receptacle until secure. Restore power only after confirming the element is properly seated and no wiring is exposed.
