W10856603 Whirlpool Oven Broil Element (replaces WPW10856603)
W10856603 Whirlpool Range Oven Broil Element – Fix Your Oven That Won't Broil, Won't Brown on Top, Has Uneven Broiling, or Has a Visible Break in the Upper Element
The direct replacement for a Whirlpool electric oven that won't broil, won't brown or sear food from the top, has uneven broiling (one side browns while the other stays pale), takes excessively long to preheat, or has a visible break, hole, or burn spot in the upper element.
The broil element is the heating coil at the top of the oven that provides intense, direct radiant heat from above — used for broiling steaks, melting cheese, browning casserole tops, toasting, and caramelizing. It operates at higher wattage than the bake element (approximately 3,000–3,600W) to deliver maximum surface heat for searing and crisping.
Common Failures
When the broil element fails — typically from the nichrome wire burning through — the oven loses its ability to produce top-down heat. You may see a visible break, hole, blister, or burn spot on the element. In some cases, the element shorts to the sheath, causing sparking, a bright flash, or tripping the breaker. If your oven bakes normally from the bottom but won't broil or brown from the top, the broil element has failed.
IMPORTANT: This genuine OEM Whirlpool part directly replaces WPW10856603. Fits Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, Amana, Jenn-Air, Roper, and Kenmore electric ranges and wall ovens.
CRITICAL: Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing. Allow oven to cool completely. Easy 15–25 minute DIY repair.
Performance and Benefits
By replacing a failed broil element, you restore intense top-down heat to your oven, bringing back perfect searing, browning, and caramelizing for steaks, casseroles, and broiled dishes. From XPart Supply Ltd., this genuine OEM part delivers restaurant-quality results and reliable performance for years of delicious meals.
