Magic Chef Range 3563XYA Oven not heating evenly

This OEM Replacement Part is a bake element designed for Whirlpool electric ovens. It measures approximately 19 1/4 inches wide and 15 1/2 inches deep. The element extends about 3 inches past the bracket to the terminals. The element, positioned at the bottom of the oven cavity, supplies heat for baking. It features male spade connectors with push-on wire terminals. If your oven experiences uneven heating, lack of heat, or minimal heat during baking, replacing this part may be necessary.

Ensure the range is unplugged or the house circuit breaker for the range is shut off before installation. The element provides 2100 watts on 208 volts and 2800 watts on 240 volts. Removal involves unscrewing Phillips screws above the element brackets and detaching the wire harness without losing wires. Inspecting the wire terminals for any signs of arcing or burning during removal is recommended.

The Oven Door Seal is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. This seal is crucial for maintaining the oven’s efficiency by creating an airtight seal around the door, preventing heat from escaping during cooking. It helps ensure that the oven maintains the correct temperature, which is essential for even cooking and energy efficiency.

Common causes of a bad oven door seal include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures, and damage from cleaning or handling.

Symptoms of a bad oven door seal include:

• Heat escaping from around the oven door
• Longer cooking times or uneven cooking
• The oven door not closing properly
• Visible cracks, tears, or deformation in the seal

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