Symptoms of a bad bake element include:

• Slow, uneven heating of the oven cavity  
• Foods not baking or cooking thoroughly
• The oven not reaching or maintaining proper temperatures
• Scorching on the bottom of baked goods

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
