The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This part heats the oven's interior during the baking process. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electricity passes through it, allowing for consistent and even cooking.

Causes of damage to the Oven Bake Element can include normal wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of food debris causing hot spots and potential burns out, or electrical issues leading to shorts or surges that damage the element.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include:

  • Visible signs of damage to the element, such as blistering, holes, or breaks in the element itself.
  • The oven failing to heat up at all
  • A lack of visible glowing from the element during operation 

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

Answer

Hello Greg, The first thing you should do is check the power supply. If the unit isn't getting 240Vac, it can never operate properly. If the breaker, receptacle, and terminal block all check out, items that should be checked include the clock, selector switch, door lock assembly, thermostat, and associated wiring. This will need to be checked with a test meter to determine the exact cause. The issue can be further narrowed down by seeing if the broil works. The tech sheet should be located on the back or bottom of the drawer or on the inside of the cabinet on one side or the other hidden by the drawer.
