The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This part heats the oven's interior during the baking process. Located at the bottom of the oven, the bake element heats up when electricity passes through it, allowing for consistent and even cooking.

Causes of damage to the Oven Bake Element can include normal wear and tear from regular use, a buildup of food debris causing hot spots and potential burns out, or electrical issues leading to shorts or surges that damage the element.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Element include:

  • Visible signs of damage to the element, such as blistering, holes, or breaks in the element itself.
  • The oven failing to heat up at all
  • A lack of visible glowing from the element during operation 

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

Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Oven Bake Element (Part Number: OEM18022743)

1 Answer

Hello Deb. You may need to use some pliers to pull the terminals off the spades of the old element. They can be tight to remove. Make sure the terminals are tight when installed on the new element WP308180. Hope this helps.

Hello Uncle Buck! The only way to obtain the bake element supports is to purchase the bake element itself, WB44K5012. The supports are not available as a separate part from the manufacture. Sorry!

Hello Sandra! No, part number WP308180 does not work on your appliance. For your model you will need to use bake element part number WPW10308477. This is the bottom bake element inside the oven. You will only need to replace the defective part. If you are needing the upper element, that is the broil element, part number W10856603. Thanks.
