Customer Questions and Answers for Elmnt-Bake by Whirlpool

The Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ranges. Its primary function is to generate heat during baking and cooking.

Causes of a bad ELMNT-BAKE can include normal wear and tear over many bake/cook cycles that degrade insulation and wiring over time. It may also fail if exposed to accidental spills, splatters, or if knocked out of position.

Symptoms of a bad element include:

• Inability to maintain proper baking temperatures, especially on the bottom of the oven
• "Hot" or "Cold" spots developing where food is not cooking evenly
• Diminished baking performance or uneven browning/cooking of dishes
• Smells from dried-on or burnt residue on the faulty element

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