Jenn-Air Range 20236 Element will not heat

This is a high-heat ceramic light receptacle used in select appliances. It provides a safe, insulated socket for the appliance light bulb so you can reliably see inside during use or service.

• Holds and insulates the bulb in high-temperature areas
• Restores lighting when the bulb is good but the light won't turn on
• Helps correct loose, flickering, or intermittent interior light
• Common signs include a cracked/scorched socket or arcing at the bulb base

• Disconnect power before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access may be from inside the cavity or from the rear panel, depending on model
• Transfer wires one at a time to the new receptacle to maintain correct connections
• Install only the bulb type and wattage specified by the appliance manufacturer

This contact spade is a push-on electrical terminal used to connect an appliance wire lead to a component's blade. Replacing a worn or heat-damaged connector restores a secure fit and consistent power flow.

• Creates a reliable electrical connection between a wire lead and a flat spade terminal on a component
• Helps prevent arcing, heat build-up, and intermittent power caused by loose or burned terminals
• Common symptoms include: component won't power or heat, intermittent operation, visible discoloration or melting at the connector
• Direct replacement for a damaged or fatigued push-on terminal

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing
• Match the size/orientation to the original terminal and replace any discolored or heat-damaged wiring/insulation
• Use an appropriate crimp tool to attach the terminal to the wire lead; ensure a firm crimp
• Push fully onto the mating blade for a tight, secure connection

This terminal block provides an insulated, secure junction for incoming power or harness leads inside the appliance. Replacing a cracked, loose, or heat-damaged block restores a safe, reliable connection and helps prevent arcing or intermittent power.

• Creates a fixed, insulated junction between external supply wires and internal appliance wiring
• Maintains tight screw-lug connections to minimize resistance and heat buildup
• Helps ensure steady power delivery to controls, motors, and heaters
• Common indicators of failure: melted/discolored block, burning odor, visible arcing, loose or stripped terminals, intermittent or no power

• Disconnect power at the breaker and verify zero voltage before servicing
• Photograph/label wire positions; transfer one lead at a time to the new block
• Tighten terminal screws firmly; do not overtighten into the insulator
• Inspect wire ends/ring terminals and strain relief; replace any heat-damaged components per the service information

This contact assembly restores a reliable electrical connection within an appliance's control circuit. Replacing worn or pitted contacts helps eliminate intermittent operation and arcing so the controlled component can turn on and off consistently. What it does

• Provides the conductive interface that completes the circuit when the control is engaged
• Helps deliver stable power to the connected load
• Typical failure signs: intermittent operation, no operation of the controlled component, visible heat damage/pitting on contacts, arcing or buzzing at the contact point

• 1 contact assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing and verify no voltage is present
• Access the control area; photograph or label wire positions and terminal orientation
• Move wires one at a time to the new assembly; ensure tight, clean connections
• Inspect nearby wiring for heat damage and replace any burnt terminals; test operation before reassembly

The Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ranges. This part provides the necessary heat for baking by converting electrical energy into heat within the oven cavity.  

Causes of a bad bake element can include electrical issues such as short circuits, physical damage from impacts or spills, or general wear and tear over time.  

Symptoms of a bad Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating up
• Uneven baking results
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• The element not glowing red when in use

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