Repairing Whirlpool Electric Radiant Cooktops
Before ordering anything for a Whirlpool electric radiant cooktop, we look up the exact model number. Parts that look alike often differ between production runs, and matching the model avoids repeat visits.
How we repair your Whirlpool Electric Radiant Cooktop
An electric radiant cooktop has ribbon or halogen heating elements under a smooth glass-ceramic surface. An electric radiant cooktop uses burners or elements, ignition or power controls, and temperature controls or thermostats to manage surface heat. A technician checks ignition, gas pressure or element continuity, switches and thermostats, and the condition of the cooking surface.
