Kenmore / Sears Cooktop Heating Element

This is a replacement broil element for the oven's upper heating function. It restores high-heat broiling and top-surface browning so you can sear, brown, and finish foods as intended. What it does:

• Produces the direct, high heat required for broiling and browning
• Replaces a burned-out, visibly damaged, or non-heating upper element
• Restores even top-heat for recipes that require searing or finishing
• Helps eliminate weak or no heat from the oven's broil function

• One broil element

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting any repair
• Allow the oven to cool completely and use basic hand tools to remove mounting screws and the old element
• Handle the new element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals

Note: 6" surface element

This radiant surface heating element restores proper burner performance on electric glass cooktops/ranges. It replaces a failed element so cookware heats evenly and reliably beneath the ceramic glass. What it does:

• Converts electrical energy into radiant heat under the glass-ceramic surface
• Replaces a burner that won't heat at all
• Helps resolve uneven heating or only part of the ring glowing
• Addresses visible damage such as hot spots, discoloration, or breaks in the element

• One surface element

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift and support the cooktop; handle the element carefully—it is fragile
• Note wire locations and move them one at a time to the new element; ensure terminals are fully seated
• Reinstall mounting clips/brackets so the element sits flat and clear of the glass before restoring power

This 20-inch bake element heats the bottom of the oven cavity so food cooks and browns evenly. Replacing a failed element restores proper oven heating and baking performance. What it does

• Heats the oven's bake chamber during bake cycles
• Replaces a cracked, burned-through, or non-heating bake element
• Helps resolve symptoms like no heat from the bottom, uneven baking, or oven failing to reach set temperature
• Works with the oven's control and safety circuits to provide consistent heat

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker or unplug before starting
• Access usually requires removing the oven cavity bottom or back panel
• Handle the element by its insulated areas and avoid bending or touching the bare heating surface
• Tighten terminal connections securely and verify operation with the oven empty after reassembly

This bake element is the oven heating element that produces consistent radiant heat for baking and roasting. It restores oven temperature performance so food cooks evenly and recipes finish as expected. What it does

• Heats when the oven is set to bake, converting electrical energy into radiant heat
• Restores proper oven baking temperature and helps eliminate undercooked or unevenly cooked food
• Commonly replaced when the oven won't reach temperature, heats slowly, or the element is visibly damaged
• Works as the lower rear/underside heating element used during standard bake cycles

• One oven bake element

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Handle element terminals and sharp sheet-metal edges carefully; use gloves and eye protection
• Basic electrical reconnection required; verify secure terminal connections and proper grounding

This oven bake element replaces a failed or damaged heating element to restore even baking and broiling performance. It heats the oven cavity so cookware reaches set temperatures for proper cooking and roasting. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity to provide bake and broil heat for cooking
• Commonly linked to symptoms like no heat, weak heating, or uneven baking
• Operates as the primary radiant heating element mounted in the oven rear or bottom
• Works with existing oven terminals and mounting brackets to deliver consistent heat

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before beginning work
• Handle terminals and element carefully to avoid bending or damaging mounting points
• Installation generally requires removing the oven racks and possibly the oven floor/panel to access the element

This oven bake element provides the primary heating for the appliance's bake cycle so your oven reaches and maintains baking temperatures. It restores reliable bottom-up heat for even cooking and baking. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during bake cycles to cook and brown food
• Replaces a broken, visibly burned, or electrically open lower heating element
• Commonly used when the oven won't reach set temperatures or baking is uneven
• Works with the oven's temperature control and safety systems to produce consistent heat

• Always disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting work
• Handle element terminals carefully; electrical connections are tight and correctly seated
• Inspect door seal and interior for damage while the oven is open; test function after reinstall and power restoration
