Roper Range REP34800 Element will not heat

This 6-inch radiant surface element is the heating source for a small burner beneath a glass-ceramic cooktop. Replacing a failed element restores reliable, controllable heat to that cooking zone. What it does:

• Heats the 6-inch cooking zone under the glass top when the control is turned on
• Cycles to help maintain the selected temperature during cooking
• Common symptoms of failure: small burner won't heat, heats unevenly or intermittently, or shows visible burn spots/damage

• 1 six-inch radiant surface element

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift the glass top or remove the cooktop to access the elements; support the glass to avoid stress or cracks
• Note wire positions and transfer connections to the new element one at a time
• Ensure the element sits flat in its mounting brackets before reassembly and testing

This infinite switch controls the variable heat settings for a cooktop surface burner so you can adjust cooking temperature smoothly and restore proper burner operation. What it does:

• Regulates power to a surface heating element so burners heat at selected settings
• Replaces a worn or failed control that causes burners to stay off or not heat properly
• Fixes burners that only work on one setting or won't respond to the knob
• Helps eliminate inconsistent or fluctuating burner temperatures

• Disconnect power to the range before starting any work to avoid electrical shock
• Accessible from the cooktop or back panel depending on model; remove panels carefully
• Note wire locations or take a photo before disconnecting; reconnect wires to matching terminals

The Bake Heating Element is an OEM Replacement Part for Whirlpool ovens, designed with push-on terminals. It measures 14-5/8" from the front to the mounting bracket, 19" in width, and 2-1/2" from the mounting bracket to the terminal end.

Causes of a bad bake element may include repeated heating and cooling cycles over time, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage from impact or exposure to spills.

Symptoms of a faulty bake element include:

• Oven not heating up properly or taking an excessive amount of time to preheat
• Hot or cold spots within the oven cavity, leading to uneven baking
• Visible damage or discoloration to the bake element itself
• Popping or sparking noises coming from the element area
