Current Part NumberWP7406P428-60
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.
Pro Tip
If the element shows arcing or a burned spot, disconnect power to the range until the element and any heat-damaged wiring or terminals are inspected.
