Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Bake Element (Part Number: OEM18055272)

1 Answer

JD, I really can't explain the life expectancy of parts, I'm sure there have been changes over the years, but thats proprietary information for the manufacturers. As for the element, to the best of my knowledge, they are still produced by the same manufacturers the product builder has always used. and most failed elements are due to some type of usage issue. 2 years is a bit short for a hidden bake element,in my opinion. Good Luck and Thanks

Hello Dee. To remove that cover try to find the screws in the back of the oven that hold it down to the base of the oven cavity. After removing these, the cover should lift out. I hope this info helps.

This part is designed with a support mount on it that would mount on the bottom of the oven. May we have your model number to verify the correct part was purchased?

Yes, as long as you unplug the unit, it's easy to install. Just remove the screws holding it in, and unplug the wires off the old one, and reinstall the new one.
