The Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ovens that provides the heat necessary for baking. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electrical current flows through it, converting electricity into heat. This heat is then distributed throughout the oven cavity to cook or bake the food evenly.  Measures approximately 19 ¼ inches x 17 ¾ inches

Causes of a bad bake element can include visible damage such as blistering, cracking, or splitting of the element itself. Over time, exposure to high temperatures can lead to material fatigue and eventual failure. Electrical issues, such as a short circuit or a power surge, can also damage the element, preventing it from heating properly.

Symptoms of a bad Bake Element include:

• Oven not heating to the set temperature
• Uneven cooking or baking results
• Visible damage to the element

This OEM Frigidaire part can also be used on Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore.
