This bake element heats the oven cavity for standard baking operations, restoring even heat when the original element fails. It installs at the rear or bottom of the oven cavity to provide the radiant heat needed for baking. What it does:
- Heats the oven cavity to maintain proper baking temperatures.
- Replaces a burned, broken, or visibly damaged element that won't glow or heat.
- Helps correct symptoms like insufficient heat, uneven baking, or an oven that won't reach set temperature.
- Works with the oven's control system and thermostat to deliver steady radiant heat.
What's included: One bake element. Install notes:
- Disconnect power to the appliance before starting — turn off the circuit breaker or unplug the range.
- Allow the oven and old element to fully cool before handling.
- Handle the element carefully to avoid bending or damaging the terminals or ceramic insulators.
- After installation, restore power and test the oven on a bake cycle to ensure the element heats correctly.
