This oven brand is one of the top quality brands available, but sometimes you may notice that the Whirlpool stove heating element not working. This typically occurs when the heating element is defective because something is wrong. 

One of the causes of Whirlpool stove heating not working is a faulty element or thermostat; testing the elements and thermostat with an ohm meter can verify proper operation.

Below are some of the symptoms of a defective Whirlpool stove heating element: 

• Abnormal temperature readings
• Popping noises
• Disengaged burner knobs. 

Whirlpool stove heating element not working: Repair.

When doing maintenance on the range, the first step is to ensure that it is disconnected from all power sources and switched off at the circuit breaker box or fuse panel. Next, removing four screws on a small panel in front will allow you to see the thermostat on top of the heating element. 

If either one or both appear faulty or burned out, you will likely need to replace them rather than repair them. Both can also be tested with an ohm meter for continuity, but this is not necessary if there are obvious signs of failure (i.e., burn marks or damage to the element itself).

Whirlpool stove heating element not working: Replacing elements.

To replace the heating element, you must remove four screws from a small panel on the front of the stove below the knobs. You can do this with a Phillips screwdriver. Once these screws are removed, you must slide back any trim piece covering the heating element and thermostat. 

Unscrewing the two tiny screws that are located adjacent to each of these components will allow you to remove both of these components. You can then remove the old coils by pulling them out and simply inserting your new coils and following this procedure in reverse order. The stove will need to be plugged back in for the heat settings to reset.

A faulty element or thermostat typically causes this type of problem. Testing the elements and thermostat with an Ohm meter can verify proper operation. If they are not functioning correctly, they will need to be replaced. 

How does a Whirlpool fan oven element work?

The Whirlpool Fan Oven Element heats the oven chamber; when it is heated to the correct temperature, use the thermostat settings on your oven controls. This, in turn, causes the food contained within the oven chamber to be cooked for the specified period.

Why is my surface element not working on my stove?

Relays on the surface element board control the burner’s power supply. Therefore, the surface element will not function if any relays fail to operate properly. Similarly, the failure of two or more burners simultaneously indicates that the surface element board is probably the source of the problem.

Why does my Whirlpool oven take so long to heat up?

Older Whirlpool ovens’ tendency to take excessive time to reach the desired temperature is a regular issue. On the other hand, if an electric oven heats up slowly, it may be a sign of several problems with the device. A leak of hot air from the oven is one of the potential explanations that you should consider.

Conclusion

Even though this may seem very simple, you should still consider hiring a professional because your safety might be at risk if you do not follow the correct protocols.
