Common Symptoms
- Bake element does not heat
- Little or no heat during baking
- Oven heats unevenly
Check Before Replacing
- With the oven completely cool and electrical power disconnected, visually inspect the accessible element area for a break, blistering, charring, or obvious damage.
- Observe whether the oven fails to produce normal bake heat; compare with the appliance’s normal broil operation, without assuming the element is the cause.
- If electrical testing is appropriate for the appliance and performed by a qualified person, test the element for continuity only with power disconnected and the element isolated as required by the appliance service procedure.
Pro Tip
Because this is a hidden bake element, access may require removing the appliance from its enclosure and opening rear or lower covers; consult the appliance-specific service information before beginning.

Installation Notes

- Follow the appliance-specific service manual because access and mounting arrangements vary by model.
