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 Elisha, If the bake element is improperly installed you can short to ground and destroy your control when it burns up the relay contacts to the element. The other possibility is no continuity and it just won't work. The worst case scenario would be that the person installing the element receives a fatal electrical shock.

Hello Julio. To replace the bake element in the oven, you will first need to disconnect the power coming to the unit. Then open the door and remove the racks out of the oven. In the back you will see 2 screws securing the bake element. Remove those screws and pull the bake element out of the unit. Unplug the wires going to the bake element. Install the new bake element WP308180 in reverse order. We will need your correct model number to know if this element will work with your oven. Hope this helps. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx
