Restore dependable oven performance with this lower bake element. It replaces a burned-out element so your electric oven can heat from the bottom, reach set temperatures, and bake or roast more evenly. What it does:

• Supplies primary heat from the bottom of the oven during Bake cycles
• Helps the oven preheat and maintain target temperature
• Common failure symptoms: no heat in Bake, slow preheat, uneven baking, or visible blisters/cracks in the element
• Use to replace elements that are open, shorted, or visibly damaged

• 1 bake element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove racks; unfasten the element's mounting screws from the rear wall
• Gently pull the element forward; support and disconnect the two wire terminals so they don't retract into the cavity
• Attach wires to the new element, secure mounting screws, reassemble, and restore power to test

This broil element is the oven's upper heating element. It delivers intense top heat for broiling and finishing, restoring proper broiler performance when the original element is open, warped, or visibly damaged.

• Provides upper radiant heat during broil and top-browning cycles
• Typical symptoms: broiler won't heat or glow; food won't brown on top; uneven broiling
• Replace if the element is cracked, blistered, pitted, or broken
• Restores consistent top heat and broiler function

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the oven to cool
• Remove oven racks; take out mounting screws and gently pull the element forward
• Transfer the two wire leads one at a time; support wires so they don't slip back into the cavity; ensure snug connections
• Reinstall hardware, restore power, and test the broil cycle

The Oven Temperature Sensor Kit is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This sensor is essential for monitoring the oven's internal temperature, ensuring that it reaches and maintains the correct temperature for baking and cooking. The sensor is approximately 7 inches long.

Over time, the oven temperature sensor can fail due to repeated heating and cooling cycles, exposure to spills or grease, or electrical issues. When the sensor malfunctions, it can result in inaccurate temperature readings, affecting cooking performance and food quality.

Symptoms of a bad oven temperature sensor include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Food cooking unevenly or not fully
• The oven overheating or underheating
• Error codes related to temperature issues

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