Whirlpool WPW10396549 Solid Surface Element – Genuine OEM Part

The Whirlpool WPW10396549 solid surface element is a genuine OEM replacement hotplate engineered specifically for Whirlpool-family electric ranges and cooktops. At Appliance Kingdom, we stock only high-quality, factory-certified parts so you can trust the performance and durability of every component you order. This part is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, and other brand models that employ under-glass, smooth-top heating elements. 

Function & Importance

This element serves as a key heating burner beneath the glass or ceramic cooktop surface. When powered, it generates heat and transfers it through the smooth top, allowing your cookware to heat efficiently and evenly. The solid surface element plays a critical role in temperature control, ensuring safe and consistent cooking. Without a functioning heating element, your cooktop may fail to heat properly, resulting in poor cooking performance or even hazardous conditions.

Common Symptoms Indicating Replacement

You might need to replace the WPW10396549 solid surface element if:

  • The burner remains cool or fails to heat up at all. 

  • You experience uneven heating—pots take too long to boil, or the heat feels inconsistent across the plate.

  • The element cycles on and off erratically, not maintaining a stable temperature. 

  • There are visible signs of wear or damage around the surface, such as scorching or discoloration.

  • Electric connections or terminals under the cooktop are exposed or deteriorating.

  • Slow heating or failure to reach high heat settings.

These are clear indicators that your range heating element may be faulty or failing, and a replacement is necessary.

Key Features & Benefits

  2. Smooth Top Design
    The solid surface under-glass element delivers a clean and modern cooking surface, making your cooktop easy to clean and maintain.

  3. Efficient Heating

  5. Safe Operation
    Using a genuine, undamaged element ensures proper electrical contact and minimizes the risk of electrical faults or overheating.
