Range Not Baking? Bake Element 825336 – Fix No-Heat Fast
If your range powers on but produces no heat during bake cycles, the bake element is the most likely cause. In most Whirlpool-built ranges, the lower bake element degrades or burns out over time — when it fails, the oven will not reach temperature, food cooks unevenly, or the bake cycle produces zero heat entirely. ⚡ Common failure point in Whirlpool, Maytag, and KitchenAid-built ranges. Part 825336 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full baking performance with a direct-fit installation requiring no modification.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your range powers on and the broil element works normally
- ✔ The oven light and controls function correctly
- ✔ Your home's circuit breaker and power supply are confirmed OK
- ✔ The broil/top element heats but the lower bake element does not
- ✔ ONLY problem is no heat or insufficient heat during bake cycles

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Oven not heating on bake — most common, what customers search
- Oven takes extremely long to reach set temperature
- Food undercooked or raw on the bottom
- Visible burn mark, crack, or blister on the lower element
- Oven trips breaker when bake cycle starts
- F1 or similar error code displayed during bake preheat
✔ If these symptoms match, this is the most likely failed component in the system.
✔ In most cases, replacing this bake element restores normal oven operation immediately.

⚠️ Recommended While Repairing:
While the oven is open, inspect the broil element and oven temperature sensor for signs of wear or corrosion — these components are exposed to the same heat cycles and often fail in sequence. Replacing them together saves a second service call.

⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 15–20 minutes. Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or by unplugging before beginning. Remove the two mounting screws at the back of the oven cavity, pull the element forward, disconnect the two wire terminals, and connect them to the new element before reversing the steps. Do not force the terminal connectors — they should seat firmly without tools.
💡 Pro Tip
Check the Terminal Block First:
Before ordering, visually inspect the element's terminal ends inside the oven cavity. If you see arcing, melting, or discolouration at the wire connectors rather than on the element itself, the terminal block or wiring harness may also need replacement. Catching this now prevents a repeat failure on the new element.
