The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This crucial component is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electricity passes through it, allowing your oven to reach the desired cooking temperature. This OEM Replacement Part has push-on terminal ends and measures approximately 23-5/8"wide x 15-3/8" long, with 3-3/8" inserts
Symptoms of a failing oven bake element include:
- Lack of heat production when the oven is turned on
- Uneven baking results
- Visible damage to the element such as blistering or splits
- A trip in the circuit breaker when the oven is activated
Causes of bake element failure typically include thermal stress causing material fatigue, accidental damage during cleaning, and electrical issues such as short circuits.
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
