The WP9750417 is the OEM lower bake element for select Whirlpool ranges. The bake element is the lower heating coil in the oven cavity — it provides the primary heat source for baking and roasting. When it burns out or cracks, the oven won't reach temperature, bakes unevenly, or won't heat at all on the bake setting. Note: WP9750417 is no longer manufactured by Whirlpool. Stock is limited — contact us to confirm availability or discuss alternative options before ordering.

The WP9750417 bake element is a resistance heating coil mounted at the bottom of the oven cavity. When energized, it glows red and radiates heat upward to cook food placed on the oven racks. A failed element typically shows visible burn marks, blistering, or a break in the coil — though internal failure with no visible damage is also possible and can be confirmed with a continuity test. This part supersedes 9750417.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Is WP9750417 still available?
WP9750417 is no longer manufactured by Whirlpool. Availability depends on remaining stock. Contact us before ordering to confirm we have this part in stock.

How do I know if my bake element is bad?
Visually inspect the element for burn marks, blistering, or a visible break in the coil. If there is no visible damage, use a multimeter set to continuity — a healthy element will show continuity; an open reading (OL) confirms failure.

Can I still use the broil function if the bake element is broken?
Yes — the bake and broil elements are separate components. A failed bake element will not affect broiling unless the element has shorted and tripped the breaker.
