An open circuit (infinite\/OL reading) confirms the element has burned through — even if there's no visible damage. This 30-second test saves you from replacing the element when the real issue is the control board or temperature sensor. If the element tests good but the oven still won't heat on bake, check the oven temperature sensor (usually a thin probe at the back of the oven cavity) next.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/Screenshot_2026-01-24_192644.png?v=1776013684\" style=\"width: 600px; max-width: 100%; display: block; margin-top: 24px;\" alt=\"W10779716 – Whirlpool Range Oven Bake Element Parts Diagram\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"XPart Supply Ltd.","offers":[{"title":"XPart","offer_id":50562379317537,"sku":"W10779716XP","price":79.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"OEM","offer_id":50562379284769,"sku":"W10779716","price":90.52,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Used","offer_id":52840987230497,"sku":"W10779716","price":39.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0897\/7783\/2225\/files\/Whirlpool_Range_Oven_Bake_Element_W10779716_-_OEM_XPart_Options.png?v=1780787709","url":"https:\/\/xpartsupply.com\/products\/w10779716-whirlpool-range-oven-bake-element","provider":"XPart Supply Ltd.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
