Part was just what my stove needed
Easy to install by my friend the electrician. Probably could have done it myself.

DIY
The part was correct. But the old part had two connections, and the new had 4. I don't like experimenting with electricity. Putting a small instruction paper within would be helpful..

Element Replacement
Replacing the element went well and works great. I had to change one connection as the new element was a little different than the old one. It had a large spade where the original had a small spade. Other than that it only took about a half hour to fix.

As advertised
The existing leads did not fit the replacement, but extensions were shipped with the element that modified the wiring to easily work.

Easy repair although part is an updated version.
Part was a newer revision requiring a small wiring modification. Still pretty straight forward with wires supplied.

Element Shipped Newer Version
The element shipped wasn't the same one in the picture. The one in the picture was identical to the one I was replacing. The Black wire on one side wouldn't connect to the unit as the male end was wider. Whirlpool sent two wires but the male/female ends were either both wide or narrow. What I needed was a wide female end and small male end to make it work. Off to Lowes.

Fairly easy to swap out.
Part came in good condition and the stove burner is now working. Took a little extra time to identify the correct terminals to attach wires. They were in different positions. The instructions did explain this, but took reading it a few times to make sure I was correct. Moving the light over from one to the other and the mounting tabs were not covered, or very little. There was no new hole for that screw, and I wasn't sure it would easily screw into the new base. It did though, wish there was a note on this.
I also found too parts on the order page that I wasn't exactly sure which was correct. I think I have ordered the correct unit. No photo on the second unit so I couldn't tell by that. The part numbers noted in the details did not correspond with anything I had found on the old hardware.

Heating element install
I bought the heating element to replace a non-working one for a Maytag stove, ad said genuine but it was not, heating element shown in picture is not exactly the same as original, but it fit and worked, first I installed the same way the old one was wired up, heating element will lit up non-stop without limiter, after further review, I notice some marks at each of the studs that are hard to read on the white ceramic, I follow this marks, match it with the marks of the old set up, had to use one of the included adapters to extend wiring to one of the studs, then it works fine, element heat up, then the limiter kick-in and heat up again. Part shipped without installation instructions, hope they fix this in the future. Would highly recommend to take a picture before you start removing the old heating element or do a schematic of studs: 1a, 2a. 1b. and 2b, for a frustration free install;

Coil shorted out.
Removed cooktop, wiring and coil. Marked where wires went on limiter tabs. Ordered coil 1200 Watt, received a 1500 one. Sent back to PS with prepaid shipping label {great}.

Found a YOU TUBE video on how to test and place wires on limiter switches which shows the number letter sequence on the ceramic part. Maybe PS will put that info in their instructions. Coil works great !!

1. tripped circuit breaker for stovetop 2. pulled the stove top out of its cabinet. 3. turned in over carefully due to the glass cooking surface. 4. used 1/4 inch nutdriver on cordless drill to remove all the screws holding the lower cover in place. lifted cover off without removing completely as power wires still attached.
... Read more 5. did continuity test on burner and found it open circuit while all the other 3 burners had continuity. 6. removed defective burner by removing two more screws and saw element was fried on the cooking side. 7. wrote down all part numbers and put it all back together. 8. changed the burner out when new one arrived by repeating steps 1 thru 6. Pay attention to the correct wiring setup. Do one wire at a time to make sure you don't mess up. MAKE SURE THE CIRCUIT BREAKER IS TRIPPED BEFORE YOU KILL YOUR SELF.
Have a tall one to celebrate the savings of two repair man call out fee's of minimum $60 each time and paying list price for the element. You probably just saved yourself $150. Tom in Steinhatchee

Heating element 15 heats up but cannot control the heat.
For model number MER6751AAS
Hi Hilton, Thank you for the question. I suggest replacing the Infinite Switch that controls the element you are having the issue with.The control switch turns the surface element on and off and determines the temperature of the element.Hope this helps!

The front small heating element is not heating and I am looking to purchase one, what does it mean when it says there is an element limiter?
For model number MER5755QAW
Hello Delores,
Thanks for your question. The element limiter is used for cutting off the temperature to the element at certain degrees - it involves the wiring of the element to ensure proper currents. We would also advise replacing the switch associated with the element, part number PS11744486, as that is more likely to be the cause of the element not heating.
I hope this helps.
I got a cook top heating elements from you guys when i hooked them up they will not heat up different size connectors on one of the wires
Hi Marc,
Thank you for contacting us. Maybe you could check how you had installed the part. Here is a video on the installation: https://youtu.be/eFP4oIZ_5Jo . If you still have issues with the part, I would suggest contacting our customer service with your order number so that we can help you with a warranty for a defective part. Good luck with your repair.

What is the ohm reading for the limiter on the 6 in element at room temperature 78 degrees
For model number RF378PXGB
Hi Kenny,
Thank you for your question. The information I have is that your burner has a range of 0 ohms to 120 ohms. For your limiter, when testing, if your needle or meter does not change then the part is not working and would need to be replaced. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

I recently asked a question about a Maytag mer6769baw. I have a right front element that can not be regulated. The response was to change the infinite switch 6" part number ps11744486 but my element is the larger one. Is there another number for a switch that regulates the larger element?Thanks paul.
For model number MER6769BAW
Hello Paul, Thank you for contacting us. I have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is Part Number: PS11744487. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!
The dual element on my Whirlpool electric stove top stays on high heat all the time. I took continuity on the element and it checks out good. I want to know if would be because of the switch or the limiter which is on the element. I cannot find the limiter by itself in your parts list. How does the switch work as far as controlling the amount of heat to each of the two elements? with the element not controlling and being on high all the time would it be the switch or the limiter on the element? If it is the limiter on the element can those be ordered separate from the element and if so what is the limiter part number? If not what is the element assembly part number? If it is the switch what is the correct part number for the dual element switch part number?
thanks!
For model number GJC3034LB0
Hello Jerome, Thank you for the question. If the element tested good then the element and the limiter should be fine. Also if the element is still turning on they should be good. This is a more common issue with the switch that controls the element you are having the issue with. Part Number: PS11747252. Thank you for your inquiry, good luck with this repair!
