Could a failing Radiant Surface Element cause the WHIRLPOOL WFE775H0H to have symptom: Burner Not Lighting?

The internal nickel-chromium resistance ribbon undergoes extreme thermal expansion and contraction during normal operation. Over time, microscopic fractures occur, eventually leading to a complete break in the circuit. This open-loop state prevents current flow, resulting in an element that fails to produce heat or 'light' up.

Could a failing Burner Infinite Switch cause the WHIRLPOOL WFE775H0H to have symptom: Burner Not Lighting?

The infinite switch uses a bimetallic strip and mechanical contacts to cycle power to the burner. If the internal contacts become pitted or oxidized due to electrical arcing, the switch will fail to send line voltage to the radiant element. This results in a burner that remains cold despite the knob being in the 'on' position.

Could a failing Radiant Element Wiring Harness cause the WHIRLPOOL WFE775H0H to have symptom: Burner Not Lighting?

High-current draw at the element terminals can lead to resistive heating at the connection point if the spade connectors become loose. This creates a feedback loop of heat and oxidation that eventually destroys the terminal or the wire insulation. This physical disconnection prevents the completion of the electrical circuit to the heating coil.
