Customer Questions and Answers for Bake Element by Ge

The Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to provide the heat necessary for baking. This element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and turns red hot when electricity flows through it, thereby heating the oven to the desired temperature. It's a crucial component for ensuring your oven can reach and maintain the set baking temperatures, playing a key role in the cooking process by providing consistent, even heat.

The most common cause of bake element failure is normal wear and tear over time. Frequent use can lead to the element burning out, which prevents it from heating. Additionally, physical damage during cleaning or cooking can also cause the element to fail prematurely.

Symptoms of a failing Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating up to the set temperature
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• No visible red glow from the element when the oven is turned on
• The element showing signs of damage such as blistering or cracks

This OEM GE  part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
