Customer Questions and Answers for Bake Element by Frigidaire

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Frigidaire ranges. This component is responsible for producing heat within the oven in order to properly bake and roast foods.

The bake element operates by converting electrical current into thermal energy through a process known as resistive heating. Over time, with frequent and prolonged use, bake elements can burn out or develop hotspots that affect the even distribution of heat.

Causes of a bad bake element include standard wear and tear from use as well as damage from foreign objects accidentally left within the oven cavity during cleaning or baking.

Symptoms of a bad bake element include:

• Inability to achieve or maintain set oven temperatures
• Longer than normal preheat times
• Hot or cold spots within the oven cavity
• Discolored, charred, or broken bake element coils

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