The PJ010004 is the genuine OEM bake element for Viking professional-grade ranges and wall ovens. The bake element is the lower heating element in your oven cavity — when it fails, the oven won't heat from the bottom, baking results become uneven, or the oven fails to reach temperature entirely. Available in both OEM/New and premium XPart aftermarket options.

The bake element in Viking professional ranges operates at high wattage to deliver the precise bottom heat required for baking, roasting, and broiling from below. On VDSC and VEDO series ranges, the element is a direct plug-in replacement accessible from inside the oven cavity. Failure is typically caused by a visible break or burn spot on the element coil, or confirmed by the oven heating only from the top (broil element) while the bottom remains cold.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

Replacing PJ010004 resolves: oven not heating from the bottom, uneven baking with undercooked bottoms, oven failing to reach set temperature, visible burn or break on the lower element, and error codes related to bake element circuit failure.

✓ Installation Tips

Disconnect power to the range or wall oven before beginning any repair. The bake element is accessed from inside the oven cavity — remove the two mounting screws at the back of the element, pull it forward gently, and disconnect the two wire terminals. Connect the new element to the terminals, slide it into position, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a bake cycle to confirm proper operation.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my bake element has failed?
Look for a visible break, burn mark, or blister on the element coil. If the oven heats from the top only (broil element working) but not the bottom, or fails to reach temperature, the bake element is the most likely cause. Visit your model hub page to browse all parts for your specific unit.

What is the difference between PJ010004 and VKPJ010004?
VKPJ010004 is a superseded part number. PJ010004 is the current OEM part number that directly replaces it. Both refer to the same bake element.

Is the XPart option a good alternative?
Yes — the XPart bake element is engineered to the same fit and wattage specifications as the OEM part and is a reliable, cost-effective alternative. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Viking Range. Contact us if you have questions about which option is right for your repair.
