Is This the Right Part?

✅ Cross Reference Information

Common Symptoms

• Little or no heat during baking
• Uneven oven heating
• Bake element does not glow red when commanded on
• Visible blistering, holes, or burned areas on the element

Check Before Replacing

• With electrical power disconnected and the element fully cool, visually inspect for holes, blisters, or burned sections.
• If trained to use a multimeter, test the disconnected element for continuity only with power removed; lack of continuity indicates an open element circuit, but does not by itself prove the complete oven fault.
• Confirm that the element terminals and wiring connections are secure and undamaged after power is disconnected.
