A: Only the two outer rings on the coil turn red. Not happy as it takes to long to boil. It may be a lemon so will check on replacing it or getting something g different.
A: The manufacturer or Best Buy would be the only ones to give you a correct answer. I believe however, Whirlpool changed the coil elements on this model. When I ordered mine I had to wait for over a month until it was back in stock. When it arrived the coil elements looked entirely different. There is a large flexible silver disk in the center. Only after we installed it and used it did we realize what looked like a small change was actually a significant one. We did research, this is what we found. Starting in 2018, UL regulation requires all coil top ranges to have temperature limiting capabilities to reduce the risk of cooktop oil and grease fires. As a result, our electric coil burners now use Sensi-Temp Technology. Each burner with this technology has a silver medallion with a button (sensor) in the center of the coil. This button must contact the bottom of the cookware for the Sensi-Temp Technology to sense the temperature properly. When the sensor detects a pan temperature near the limit (450F), the burner will shut off automatically until a lower, safe pan temperature is reached. At that point, heat will resume to the burner. This will not affect everyday cooking, as automatic shut-off is temporary and only happens at very high temperatures. I am having to learn how to cook on my new stovetop. It is nothing like my old one.Boiling a pot of water is extremely difficult. I really hate the new safety coils and wish I had known of this change before I purchased this. If I had know I would have went with glass or something else. Honestly the stovetop should have a different model number so customers know what they will be getting. Not only does the appliance look different it totally works differently. I am very disappointed. The silver center also changes color and is difficult to clean. I hope this helps.
A: All electric cook tops ( I have a smooth glass cooktop), when you turn them on the element glows bright red and then it turns off, and then it turns back on again. Electric and do not stay at a set glow, they regulate the set temperature by switching on and off the whole time they are on. Gas stoves stay at the setting you choose the whole time they are on. I like gas, my wife likes electric, therefore we have electric.
A: The following is the cut out dimensions for this model Cutout Depth (in) 19 13/16, Cutout Height (in) 4 3/4, Cutout Width (in) 28 5/16, Cutout Width Max (in) 28 7/8 in inches.
Q: Does the cooktop lift up for cleaning?
A: Hi Butterfly, this Whirlpool - 30 Built-In Electric Cooktop does not come with that option.
A: Reading that cooktop is hot, but all burners are cold.
A: Hello! Model WCC31430AW cooktop is not a downdraft model. Thank you for your inquiry on our Whirlpool appliances.
A: This is how electric cooktop coils function. They don't heat at a particular exact temperature; instead, they fluctuate between "on" and "off" to regulate a standard temperature. It works the same way on standard Glasstop cooktops.

I've used both electric coil and electric smooth top cooktops each for over 10 years. The biggest advantage of the smooth tops: they are easy to clean and they often have better safety features. The electric coils are better for just about everything else. They heat up faster. With this it took me just over 4 minutes to boil a pot of water; with two different smooth tops each with higher wattage ratings it took me over 6 minutes to boil a pot of water. We found it so much easier to cook when we replaced a smooth top with this. They are easier to maintain. If a burner fails I can replace it within minutes with a part costing less than $40; if a burner on a smooth top fails I need to remove the whole unit, open it up, replace the burner costing $40 to $100, then replace the foam tape which costs at least $40. I am replacing smooth top that cracked because a bottle of oil fell over and cracked the top. The cost to replace just the broken glass would have been more expensive than this simple cooktop. I'm rating this 4 stars not 5 because one of the burners flared out the first time I turned it on high. I'm replacing it with the same model. Oh, yeah, the smooth tops look pretty. If you want to have a fancy looking kitchen to impress your guests you can't use electric coils.

Easy to install, works well. If your not ready for a more modern glass cooktop this is a good choice.
