Whirlpool Stove Burner (W11171119)

The Whirlpool Stove Burner is a surface heating element that converts electrical power into heat for cooking on the cooktop. It sits in the burner position and provides controlled heat when you turn the surface control on and adjust the setting.

Burners can fail from normal wear, repeated high-heat use, spills that lead to corrosion, or damage from impact. Loose or heat-damaged connections at the burner terminals can also cause poor heating or intermittent operation.

Look for these symptoms to help decide if this burner is the source of the problem:

• The burner will not heat at any setting.
• The burner heats only sometimes, or cuts in and out during use.
• The burner heats unevenly, leaving hot and cold spots.
• The burner takes much longer than normal to heat.
• There is visible damage such as blistering, cracking, warping, or heavy pitting on the burner surface.
• The burner shows signs of arcing or discoloration at the terminal area.
