Kenmore Elite Range Heating Element

The Broil Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ovens. It is located at the top of the oven cavity and is responsible for providing the high heat required for broiling. This element heats up quickly and evenly to cook food from above, giving it a crisp and browned finish.

Over time, the broil element can degrade due to the high temperatures it operates under, as well as normal wear and tear from repeated use. Electrical surges or physical damage from cleaning or moving oven racks can also cause the element to fail. These factors can lead to the element no longer heating up properly or becoming completely non-functional.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• The broiler not heating up or heating unevenly
• Visible signs of damage such as burns, blisters, or breaks in the element
• Sparking or unusual noises when attempting to use the broiler
• The oven taking longer to broil food or not achieving the desired browning effect
• The element not glowing red-hot during operation

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. The small surface element is responsible for providing direct heat to the cookware placed on the corresponding burner of the electric cooktop or range. This element is typically located underneath the glass surface of the cooktop or range, ensuring efficient and even heat distribution for cooking.

Symptoms of a failing Surface Element include:

• The element not heating up at all
• Heating unevenly or only partially
• Noticeable damage or blistering on the element itself
• The control switch not regulating the temperature properly

Causes of a bad surface element can include a burnt-out coil, a break in the element's continuity, or problems with the connection points such as corrosion or loosening. Regular wear and tear from cooking can also lead to degradation over time.

This OEM replacement is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and Kenmore models.

The Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire ovens and ranges. Located at the bottom of the oven cavity. This fundamental component produces the heat needed for baking, roasting, and heating functions.

Causes of bake element problems involve normal wear from repeated heat cycles and heavy-duty use over many years. Extended exposure to high oven temperatures can degrade fragile coil filaments.

Symptoms of a faulty bake element include:

• Uneven or inadequate heating for baking/roasting recipes
• Slow or inefficient preheating of oven interior
• Oven temperature failing to reach desired settings
• Element coil is visibly discolored or deteriorated

This OEM Frigidaire replacement element is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, and Kelvinator appliance brands.

The Broil Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and wall ovens. This part is responsible for providing intense, direct heat from the top of the oven cavity during the broiling process. This allows for efficient browning, crisping, and charring of foods.

Causes of a bad broil element can include excessive use over time leading to normal wear and tear, exposure to food spills or splatters causing premature degradation, or electrical malfunctions.

Symptoms of a bad broil element include:

• Inability to achieve proper broiling temperatures
• Uneven heating or cold spots in the broiling area
• Visibly damaged, blistered, or burned-out element
• Electrical issues, such as the element not heating at all

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

The Radiant Surface Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges and cooktops. This part generates heat for cooking and boiling on the cooktop surface.

Causes of a bad Radiant Surface Element can range from electrical issues or loose connections to physical damage from impact or spillovers.  

Symptoms of a faulty Radiant Surface Element include:

• Element not heating up or providing insufficient heat
• Element glowing unevenly or only partially heating
• Cracks or damage visible on the element surface
• Burning smells or discoloration on the cooktop

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This replacement radiant surface element restores consistent burner heating under the glass cooktop on compatible electric ranges. It helps your cooking zone reach and maintain temperature so pots and pans heat evenly.

• Converts electrical energy into radiant heat beneath the glass surface
• Maintains set temperature by cycling on and off during operation
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, heats weakly or unevenly, or only part of the ring glows
• May show visible scorching or breaks when inspected after access

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift/prop the glass top or remove the burner pan as your model requires to access the element
• Label and transfer wires one at a time; ensure all terminals are firmly seated
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or stressing the coil and supports
