Customer Questions and Answers for Bake Element by Whirlpool

Hello Tammy. It sounds like the control board WP9753633 is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit.

Hello Debra. Use pliers to grip the terminal and pull it off the spade on the element. Some of these can be tight.

James, You'll need a multi meter TJMA-DMT3 to test for 220 -240 VAC across the two wires that attach to the element, when a bake cycle is selected. You may have a damaged BK9bake) or DLB(dole line break) relay on the control 9752277CW or a damaged wire between the control and the element. Here's some meter usage information if you should need it [http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html]. Good Luck and Thanks

Spokane, If the element is working at higher temperatures,completely red(no dim spots or areas) after a 10 or 15 minute heat cycle, the element and control should be OK, and you'll need to check or replace the oven temperature sensor WP8053344 . It could have a resistance issue after years of heat and usage. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Phebe. If the element can be seen from the inside, then no, you will disconnect the power and remove the screws holding the element in place. Then pull out and remove the wires from it. Install the new element WP9750213 in reverse order. If you can not see the element inside the oven, then you pull out the unit and remove the back panel. Hope this helps.

Hello Paul. No, you should be able to access the screws securing the bake element WP9750213 without removing the convection cover. Look around the back plate of the bake element. Hope this helps.

Hello Dave! Yes, the bake element can be shorting out causing it not to heat up as properly as it should. The bake element should be glowing a bright red when on, not a dull color. Thanks.

Hello Joan. No, according to the manufacture, WP9750213 is the only bake element available for the model number you provided. There is no universal element that will fit. Thank you.

Hello David. You will need to test the sensor after it has heated to 350°. It should read around 1650 ohms. If it is off, the sensor is breaking down and will need to be replaced. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. Hope this helps. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html

Hello Tommy. There will be two wire connectors that attach to the element just unhook them and attach to the new element. Hope this helps.
