Manufacturer Part Number: WP74010750

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This crucial component is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electricity passes through it, allowing your oven to reach the desired cooking temperature. This OEM Replacement Part has push-on terminal ends and measures approximately 23-5/8"wide x 15-3/8" long, with 3-3/8" inserts

Symptoms of a failing oven bake element include:

  • Lack of heat production when the oven is turned on
  • Uneven baking results
  • Visible damage to the element such as blistering or splits
  • A trip in the circuit breaker when the oven is activated

Causes of bake element failure typically include thermal stress causing material fatigue, accidental damage during cleaning, and electrical issues such as short circuits.

This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.

If you are unable to use your old connectors order TJMA02875-1.

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Bake Element (Part Number: OEM18033636)

Carter H. for Model Number MER5770AAW Maytag Oven Range

I was disconnecting the Bake element from the front of the unit and discovered that only one side of the element was connected. I took the back off and found the connector on the left side (facing from the front of the oven) was burnt off. So I took the wire off and went to the hardware store to see if I could purchase a new part. I could not get a part and the salesman said the only connectors he had were plastic where it crimps to the wire. He suggested an auto parts store. I did find connectors at the auto store but discovered after purchase they were silver and had plastic around them I tried it and the element did work. Now My question is with the plastic surrounding the connector which is silver, will it melt? Also, I discovered that the new connector was hot to the touch whereas the other connector on the opposite side was cool. Am I using something that is wrong? Please help.

Hello Harry. You will need to pull the unit out and remove the back panel. Now you will see where the bake element WPW10276482 is mounted. Remove the wires and the screws and pull the unit out of the back of the oven. Install the new element in reverse order. Hope this helps.

Hello Tommi. For the broil element WPW10310249, you will disconnect the power to the unit, and remove the screws securing the bracket and the element in the back wall. This is easier if you remove the oven racks. Then you will remove the element from the unit and remove the wires going to the element. Reinstall in reverse order with the new element. The bake element WP74010750 is installed the same way, but does not use a bracket to secure it. Hope this helps.

Hi Val. remove all power. Take the door off. Slide the drawer off (if equipped). Pull The unit out. Unhook the cord. Remove the back assy. Unhook the 2-wires on the element. Go to the front oven cavity area. Remove the racks. Remove the 2 -phillips screws that are inside the cavity holding the element screws in and pull out the element. Replace the element and put the screws in place. Go to the back of the unit and before hooking the wires, make sure the insulation covers the holes that the element went through so the heat dont escape and burn wires. The bake element is part # WP74010750. Thank You.
