The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This crucial component is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for providing the heat needed for baking. The bake element converts electrical energy into heat, which is then distributed throughout the oven to cook food evenly. 

Common causes of a bad bake element include excessive use, accidental damage during cleaning, or a power surge that can burn out the element. 

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include:

  • The oven not heating up to the set temperature.
  • Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks.
  • Lack of heat when the oven is turned on 
  • An increase in cooking times 

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.

Virginia, The Y refers to the color, so the internal parts for the model with the W should work for yours. Unfortunately, most of the parts have been discontinued by the manufacturer & are no longer available. No alternate or substitute part has been recommended by the manufacturer. Insulation WPW10208653 available * Gasket 261763 No Longer Available
