WPW10516524 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Radiant Surface Element

WPW10516524 - Genuine OEM Whirlpool Range Radiant Surface Element

The Whirlpool WPW10516524 Radiant Surface Element is a genuine OEM heating component designed to bring your electric cooktop or range back to full functionality. At Appliance Kingdom, we specialize in supplying original, high-quality appliance parts — and this radiant surface element is no exception. This part is compatible with a variety of Whirlpool and Maytag ranges (among others), so always check your model number before ordering to ensure a precise match.

Function & Importance

This element is a radiant surface burner, which means it’s found beneath the smooth glass or ceramic top of your range. When electricity passes through it, the element heats up and transfers energy to the cookware above. This heating mechanism is crucial for everyday cooking: simmering, boiling, frying — it allows for consistent temperature control and efficient energy transfer.

If you’re using a failing or damaged element, your cooktop may struggle to reach the desired temperature, or the heat may be uneven — making cooking slow, unpredictable, or unsafe.

When to Replace: Common Symptoms

You should consider replacing the WPW10516524 element if you experience any of these issues:

• One of the burners does not heat at all.

• Heating is weak or takes too long to boil water.

• The burner heats unevenly, creating hot and cold spots.

• You notice visible damage such as cracks, blistering, or burn marks on the element.

• The element cycles on and off in a way that seems abnormal or erratic.

• There is a faint burning smell or unusual electrical behavior when the burner is on.

These are classic signs that your range heating element is worn out, damaged, or simply at the end of its service life.
