This is a bake element that is an authentic OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on use in ovens. The bake element is the bottom heating element in the oven; it has feet on it that allow it to stand on the bottom of the oven and disperse heat for cooking. If the element stops working due to age and normal wear and tear, it will need to be replaced before the oven will work correctly.

Make sure the oven is cool and has not been used recently. Open the oven and pull out the lower baking racks so that the element can be easily reached. Lift and pull on the element to disconnect it from the plug on the back of the oven. Push the new element into the plug securely and let the feet rest on the bottom of the oven. Put the baking rack back inside and shut the oven. Restore the electricity and test the oven.This bake element is made of metal and sold individually. It is designed for use in ovens manufactured by Viking.
