Customer Questions and Answers for Bake Element (Oven) by Frigidaire

Bake element provides the oven's lower heating source so food cooks and browns properly; replacing a faulty element restores normal bake performance and addresses no-heat or uneven baking issues. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during bake cycles to deliver even cooking and browning.
• Replacing a failed element can correct no-heat conditions, undercooked food, or uneven baking.
• Visible damage like breaks, blistering, or exposed wires are signs the element needs replacement.
• Electrical symptoms such as a tripped breaker or burning smell can indicate a shorted element.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before beginning any repair.
• Allow the oven to cool and remove racks to access the element safely.
• Support the element while removing mounting screws and carefully disconnect terminals; avoid touching terminals with bare hands.
• Restore power and test the oven after installation.
