The Whirlpool WPW10396548 is a replacement hotplate made exclusively for Whirlpool-brand ranges. The induction heating method is employed by this electric hotplate. When turned on, it generates a magnetic field. By interacting with the cookware set on the hotplate, this magnetic field produces heat inside the pot or pan. There are various advantages to this focused heating technique. In comparison with conventional radiant hotplates, it enables quicker cooking periods and more accurate temperature control. Furthermore, the stovetop area around it stays reasonably cool, reducing the chance of burns and simplifying cleanup. The WPW10396548 guarantees a perfect fit and best performance for your Whirlpool range because it is an authentic Whirlpool item.
