Whirlpool Stove Burner (W11047722)

The Whirlpool Stove Burner is a surface heating element that converts electricity into heat for cooking on the cooktop. It provides a stable, level heating area for pans and works with the burner switch or control to change heat output.

Burners often fail from long-term heat cycling that weakens the internal coil, damage from spills that corrode terminals, or a loose or overheated connection at the receptacle. Physical impact can also bend the element, which can lead to poor contact and uneven heating.

If you are deciding whether this burner is the right fix, these symptoms may point to a failed surface element:

• The burner will not heat, even though other burners work.
• The burner heats only part of the way around or has cold spots.
• Heat output is weak or inconsistent at the same control setting.
• The burner cuts in and out during use.
• The element is visibly blistered, cracked, or deformed.
• Arcing, sparking, or a burning smell occurs at the element connection.
