Oven Won't Heat on Bake – Fix Bake Element Failure Fast
When a Frigidaire electric range stops heating on bake mode, the lower bake element is the most common cause. When it fails, the oven won't reach temperature, food bakes unevenly, or the element simply doesn't glow. ⚡ Don't wait — a shorted element can trip your breaker and damage wiring. Part 316075103 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full bake function immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ You have a Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Tappan, Gibson, or Crosley electric range or wall oven
- ✔ Your oven heats on broil but not on bake
- ✔ The bake element does not glow red when the oven is on
- ✔ You see a visible crack, hole, or burn mark on the element — OR it reads open (OL) on a multimeter
- ✔ ONLY problem is bake mode not heating (broil, clock, and controls work normally)
🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven won't heat on bake mode
- Oven not reaching set temperature
- Oven takes too long to preheat
- Uneven heating — hot and cold spots
- Food burns on top but raw on bottom
- Bake element doesn't glow red when oven is on
- Bake element glows only partially
- Visible hole, crack, or burn mark on element
- Element sparking or arcing
- Burning smell when oven is on
- Oven trips circuit breaker (shorted element)
- Broil works but bake doesn't
- Oven works intermittently on bake
- Element sagging, warped, or touching oven floor
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this bake element restores normal operation immediately.

⚙️ Installation Notes
Skill Level: Easy (2/5) — 15–25 minutes DIY. Disconnect power at the breaker before starting — this is a 240V / 40–50A circuit. Remove oven racks, unscrew the two rear mounting screws, pull the element forward to expose terminals, photograph connections before disconnecting, swap the element, reconnect firmly, and reinstall screws. Do not overtighten mounting screws. Restore power and run a 350°F bake cycle to confirm the element glows red and the oven reaches temperature.
💡 Pro Tip
The broil and bake elements operate on completely independent circuits. If broil glows but bake produces nothing, the bake element is almost certainly burned out. Confirm with a multimeter: a good 316075103 reads approximately 22–24 ohms across the terminals — an open reading (OL) means the internal coil has failed. While you have the oven apart, inspect the wire connectors at the element terminals — corroded or burned connectors are a leading cause of premature element failure and should be replaced at the same time.
