Heating Element Parts

Heater kit for washer tub assembly, installs under door boot at front of tub. Replace if heater element or integrated thermistor is broken or damaged.

Fixes frost buildup and icing in freezers. This defrost heater melts accumulated ice during defrost cycles. Moderate DIY repair with basic tools.

This 4,000-watt broil element is mounted at the top of the oven cavity and provides intense direct heat for broiling. It glows red when operating and radiates heat downward onto food placed on the upper rack. Replace this element if the oven does not broil, heats unevenly during broiling, or if the element shows visible damage such as blistering, cracking, or burn-through spots.

This is the lower heating element located at the bottom of the oven cavity, responsible for producing heat during baking and roasting cycles. It is a looped metal element that glows red when functioning properly. Replace this element if the oven is not heating, takes too long to reach temperature, cooks unevenly, or if the element has visible cracks, blisters, or burn-through spots.

This heater assembly provides the heat source for the appliance, restoring normal drying and heating performance so clothes and items reach the expected temperature. Fits as a direct-replacement heating element assembly. What it does

• Generates heat needed for drying or baking cycles so loads dry thoroughly and on schedule
• Restores normal operating temperature when a failed heater prevents heating
• Helps eliminate long dry times or loads that tumble without warming
• Works with existing thermostats and safety switches to maintain correct temperature

• One heater (heating element assembly)

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before starting any repair
• Handle the element carefully to avoid bending the coil or damaging insulation
• Verify related safety components (thermal fuses, thermostats, high-limit fuses) if the new heater does not restore operation

If your wall oven won't heat, heats unevenly, or takes too long to preheat, the bake element may have failed. This lower heating element is essential for consistent baking.

Dryer not heating or taking too long to dry? This heating element is the most common fix. Moderate difficulty repair that typically takes 30-45 minutes.

This broil shield is the oven's rear cavity panel that protects the oven back and nearby components from direct broiler heat. It helps channel heat for safer broiling and prevents heat damage to internal parts. What it does:

• Deflects direct broiler heat away from the oven back wall and components
• Helps maintain proper broiling performance by directing heat toward food
• Reduces risk of heat-related damage, discoloration, or premature wear on internal oven parts
• Limits grease and debris contact with sensitive rear components

• Disconnect power (and gas supply on gas ovens) before servicing the oven
• Remove oven racks and, if required, the broil element to access the shield
• Handle edges carefully—metal parts can be sharp
• Keep hardware removed during disassembly; screw locations for reassembly

Oven not heating during bake cycle? This lower bake element restores consistent heating for normal baking and roasting in your electric range.

This broil heating element provides the upper-oven heat for broiling and high-temperature cooking. Replaces a failed or damaged upper element to restore broil performance and even top-heat browning. What it does:

• Produces direct top-oven heat used for broiling and finishing dishes
• Restores broil function when the upper element no longer heats
• Helps eliminate uneven browning or food that won't crisp on top
• Shows visible signs of failure such as burning, breakage, or no heat

• One broil (upper oven) heating element

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before starting any work
• Handle element carefully to avoid bending or damaging terminals
• Electrical connections are secure and routed clear of interior surfaces
• After installation, restore power and test broil function; replace oven light cover or insulation as needed

This is a convection heating element for an oven, typically a circular or loop-shaped element located at the rear wall of the oven cavity near the convection fan. It provides even heat distribution when using the convection cooking mode. Replace this element if convection baking produces uneven results, the element shows visible damage or burn-through spots, or the convection mode fails to heat at all.

Oven not heating or baking unevenly? This bake heating element restores proper temperature for cooking and browning. Moderate DIY repair.

This is the electric heating element located inside the warming drawer of a range. It provides low, steady heat to keep cooked food warm until serving. Replace this element if the warming drawer no longer heats, heats unevenly, or if the element is visibly damaged or burned out.

If your oven won't broil or food isn't browning on top, the broil element has likely failed. This upper heating element restores direct heat for searing.
