This OEM Replacement Part is a bake element designed for Whirlpool electric ovens. It measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide and 15 1/2 inches deep. The element extends about 3 inches past the bracket to the terminals. The element, positioned at the bottom of the oven cavity, supplies heat for baking. It features male spade connectors with push-on wire terminals. If your oven experiences uneven heating, lack of heat, or minimal heat during baking, replacing this part may be necessary.

Ensure the range is unplugged or the house circuit breaker for the range is shut off before installation. The element provides 2100 watts on 208 volts and 2800 watts on 240 volts. Removal involves unscrewing Phillips screws above the element brackets and detaching the wire harness without losing wires. Inspecting the wire terminals for any signs of arcing or burning during removal is recommended.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Bake Element (Part Number: OEM18032481)

1 Answer

Hello RuthAnn, You will need to test the element to see if it is open or if it reads the correct resistance. You will also need to check for proper power, (240Vac), to the unit. If all tests good, the relay on the board 12001603 is the likely issue. I'm sorry but this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and no satisfactory substitutions have been provided. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Hello Cassie. That is fine. It is from the heat of the elements. Insulation will do that. You should be fine to use the unit. Thank you.
