Whirlpool Cooktop (W10691696)

The Whirlpool Cooktop replaces the main surface cooking unit on your range, providing the burner or heating element platform where pots and pans are placed for cooking. It integrates the burners, grates or glass surface, and related components into a single assembly that sits at the top of the range and delivers heat for everyday cooking tasks.

A Whirlpool Cooktop can deteriorate over time due to heat stress, physical impact, spills that seep into burner components, or cracks in the surface glass or frame. Repeated high-heat cycles can warp or damage the assembly, and surface damage from dropped cookware or heavy cleaning can leave the cooktop unsafe or unable to function properly.

These symptoms can help you decide if a cooktop replacement matches your problem:

- Cracked, chipped, or broken cooktop surface

- One or more burners fail to ignite or heat up

- Burner flames are uneven, weak, or will not stay lit

- Visible burn marks, warping, or structural damage to the surface

- Surface elements on an electric model do not cycle on or maintain heat

- Sparking or clicking continues even when burners are off

- Cooktop surface is loose, misaligned, or no longer fits securely in the range frame
