Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Little or no heat during Bake
• Long preheat or failure to reach the selected temperature
• Uneven baking associated with loss of lower-oven heat
• Visible blistering, cracking, holes, separation, or arcing on the element

Check Before Replacing

• With the range breaker off and the oven completely cool, visually inspect the element for blisters, cracks, holes, separated sections, or arc damage.
• With power disconnected, isolate the element wiring as appropriate and check continuity across the two element terminals with a multimeter; an open circuit indicates a failed element.
• Inspect the male 1/4-inch spade connections and nearby wiring for looseness, discoloration, melted insulation, or heat damage.
• If the element has continuity, do not assume it is the cause; check the related wiring, control, and power-supply circuits using the appliance's model-specific service information.
