Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Little or no heat during baking
• Bake cycle takes unusually long to preheat
• Oven fails to reach or maintain the selected baking temperature
• Uneven baking caused by insufficient lower-oven heat
• Visible cracking, blistering, or damage to the element sheath or terminals

Check Before Replacing

• Disconnect electrical power before inspection or testing.
• Verify that the appliance is set to Bake and that the oven is receiving power; do not assume the element is defective from a no-heat symptom alone.
• After power is disconnected, inspect accessible element terminals, wiring, and ceramic insulation for looseness, burning, cracking, or blistering.
• If using a multimeter, test the element for continuity/resistance only with power disconnected and the element isolated as specified by the appliance service documentation.
• If the element checks good, further diagnosis may require checking the oven sensor, wiring, control board, or power supply by a qualified technician.
