WGE33001
Whirlpool WGE33001 Electric Range Repair
Most common issues on this model
- Burner coil that sparks, pits or will not stay seated
- Selector switch that feels loose or lets the element stay on
- Oven that never gets up to the dial setting
- Broil element that glows unevenly
The WGE33001 is an electric range in a freestanding layout. It is a standard kitchen workhorse in apartments, duplexes and single-family homes around Houston, and the same few parts account for most calls: surface elements, their receptacles, selector switches and the oven elements.
When we arrive we look at what the cooking surface is actually doing. A coil that will not heat might need replacing, but a burnt receptacle or a switch that has lost contact produces the same result, and replacing the wrong part wastes your money. Inside the oven we read both elements with a meter and compare the cavity temperature against the dial.
A range that has been cooking for many years deserves a look at wiring and terminals before parts are recommended. Reading the model and serial label tells us which revision you have, so the element or switch we bring fits. The estimate is put in writing before work starts, and our labor is guaranteed for 30 days.

Why does one coil on my WGE33001 stay on high?
A selector switch that has failed internally can keep the burner powered regardless of the knob setting. With the breaker off, we test the switch and its leads and change only the switch if it proves bad.
Is a pitted coil dangerous?
A pitted or blistered coil can arc in the receptacle and damage the terminals. We recommend replacing the coil and inspecting the receptacle, since a burnt socket is common when the coil stays in use too long.
How do you know which element part fits this range?
Coil size and receptacle style can differ between revisions, so we check the label on the range itself before ordering and the correct part arrives on the first trip.
