Parts for Caloric ESF31002W-P1142609NW: Electrical Components Parts

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool ovens. Located at the bottom of the oven cavity, it is responsible for providing the consistent heat necessary for baking and roasting. This element ensures even cooking by heating up uniformly and maintaining the set temperature throughout the cooking process.

Over time, the bake element can wear out or become damaged due to repeated exposure to high temperatures, spills, or power surges. Normal wear and tear, as well as accidental impacts during oven cleaning or rack adjustments, can also lead to the element malfunctioning.

Symptoms of a bad oven bake element include:

• The oven not heating up or reaching the set temperature
• Uneven baking or longer cooking times
• Visible signs of damage such as burns, blisters, or breaks in the element
• Sparking or unusual noises when the oven is in use
• The element not glowing red-hot during operation

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

Please Note. Due to a manufacturer change element may appear physically different from the original. 

This electric range broil element installs at the top of the oven to deliver direct radiant heat for broiling. Replacing a burned-out or damaged element restores fast, even broil performance and consistent top heat.

• Provides high, direct heat from the top of the oven during Broil to sear and brown food
• Common fix for: broiler not heating, weak or uneven broiling, visible blisters/cracks on the element, or sparking during broil
• Mounts at the upper oven cavity; connects to two push-on terminals
• Helps restore consistent top heat and even browning when functioning correctly

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the range before servicing
• Remove oven racks; unfasten mounting screws/bracket, gently pull element forward, and disconnect the wire terminals (support wires to prevent them from falling back)
• Transfer existing mounting hardware if needed; ensure terminals are fully seated and insulated—do not overtighten screws
• The element is clear of the oven liner; restore power and test Broil

This terminal block is the insulated connection point where the appliance's incoming power ties into the internal wiring. Replacing a heat-damaged or loose block restores a safe, reliable electrical path and helps prevent arcing and intermittent power loss.

• Connects the supply conductors to the unit's internal wiring
• Provides insulated posts to securely fasten and distribute power
• Helps maintain tight, low-resistance connections
• Common failure signs: melted/discolored plastic, burned or loose terminals, arcing, scorching, or intermittent/no power after confirming the cord and breaker

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance; verify no voltage before servicing
• Photograph or label wire positions to ensure correct reassembly
• Inspect and replace any heat-damaged wire ends or lugs; use appropriate terminals
• Tighten connections securely and ensure wires are fully seated and strain-relieved as originally installed

The Terminal Block is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. It serves as a crucial connection point for the range’s electrical wiring, ensuring a safe and reliable transfer of power to the appliance.

Over time, terminal blocks can deteriorate due to factors such as heat exposure, electrical surges, or wear and tear. When the terminal block becomes damaged or corroded, it can lead to poor electrical connections or potential safety hazards.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Burnt or scorched connections
• Intermittent power loss to the range
• Difficulty in the range heating up properly
• Visible damage or corrosion on the terminal block

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