Bake element restores oven heat by producing the radiant heat needed for baking and roasting. Replacing a worn or damaged bake element helps the oven reach and maintain set temperatures for more consistent cooking results. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity to provide direct radiant heat for baking and roasting.
• Use when the element shows visible breaks, blistering, or does not glow when the oven is set to high.
• Common symptom indicators: oven won't reach set temperature, uneven baking, or longer-than-normal cook times.
• Works as a direct replacement for the oven's lower/bake heating element.

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair.
• Allow the oven to cool completely and wear gloves to avoid sharp edges.
• Match the part to your model and terminal layout before installing; tighten connections securely.

This is a flexible gasket that seals around the control panel area of the range, preventing heat and moisture from reaching internal components behind the panel. It is typically gray in color and fits along the edges of the panel. Replace this gasket if it is cracked, hardened, or missing, which can allow heat to damage control board wiring or cause discoloration around the panel.

This is a small lock washer used in range and oven assemblies to secure fasteners and prevent them from loosening due to heat and vibration. It is commonly used in mounting hardware for controls or other internal components. Replace this washer if it is deformed, cracked, or no longer holds the associated bolt or screw tightly in place.
