This broil element mounts at the top of the oven cavity and provides high, radiant heat for broiling and top-browning. Replace it if the broiler won't heat, heats unevenly, or the element shows visible damage.

• Delivers intense, top-down radiant heat for broiling and finishing dishes
• Restores broil performance when the original element is open, shorted, or weak
• Common symptoms: no broil heat, only part of the element glows, uneven browning, visible blisters/cracks, tripping the breaker
• Direct replacement designed to fit and connect to existing terminals

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing; high-voltage hazard
• Remove oven racks; take out element mounting screws and carefully pull the element forward to access terminals
• Transfer wires one at a time and support them to prevent retracting into the insulation; ensure tight, clean connections
• Reinstall screws, restore power, and test broil for an even, consistent glow

The bake element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ovens. This element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for providing the heat needed for baking. When the oven is turned on, electrical current flows through the bake element, causing it to heat up and glow red. This process radiates heat evenly throughout the oven, ensuring that food is cooked thoroughly and uniformly. 

Causes of a bad Oven Bake Element include visible damage such as blistering or holes, which can occur after years of use or from food spillages that corrode the metal. Additionally, a malfunctioning element may not glow red or may only partially heat, indicating that it's unable to conduct electricity effectively.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include: 

• The oven not heating up properly or at all
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• The element not glowing when the oven is turned on

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
