The Lower Bake Element is an OEM part for Whirlpool ovens. It is positioned at the bottom of the oven and is primarily responsible for producing the heat required for baking. By converting electrical energy into heat, this element ensures consistent and even cooking temperatures, crucial for achieving perfect baking results. 

Symptoms of a bad Lower Bake Element include:

• Lack of heat in the oven, leading to undercooked food,
• Uneven baking with some parts of the food less cooked than others,
• Visible damage or breakage in the element itself,
• No glow from the element when the oven is turned on.

Causes of bake element failure typically involve burnout from continual use, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or connections, or physical damage.

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

• Burners failing to heat up fully or taking a long time
