Customer Questions and Answers for Element, Bake by Bosch

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Bosch ranges and ovens. It generates heat through calibrated heating coils, which bathe the oven cavity in consistent warmth for thorough yet delicate cooking. 

Causes of failure can be things like normal wear over time compromising insulation or shorting coils. Periodic replacement preserves cooking capacity.

Symptoms of a bad bake element include:

• Temperature fluctuations during use
• Inability to maintain set baking temperatures
• Oven display errors or failure to heat altogether
• Discoloration, cracking or other visible signs of damage on coils

This genuine OEM Bosch part is also compatible with Thermador, Gaggenau and select Kenmore models.
