The bake element is the primary heat source for baking. When it burns out, the oven will not reach the set temperature or may not heat at all.
A failing bake element causes hot and cold spots inside the oven cavity, resulting in food that is over-cooked on one side and undercooked on the other.
A properly functioning bake element glows red-orange when heating. If the element stays dark during baking, it has failed and must be replaced.
Physical damage such as holes, blisters, or a burned-through section on the element surface indicates complete failure and requires immediate replacement.
💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Bake Element the Problem?
Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:
⚠️ Oven does not heat up at all or takes far longer than normal to reach set temperature
⚠️ Uneven baking — food burns on top but stays raw on the bottom, or develops hot/cold spots
⚠️ Bake element does not glow red when oven is set to bake (broil element may still work)
⚠️ Visible holes, blisters, cracks, or burn-through spots on the element surface
🔍 Quick Test: Set your oven to Bake at 350 °F. After 60 seconds, open the door and look at the bottom element — a healthy element should glow red-orange uniformly end to end. Dark spots or no glow at all confirm the element has failed and needs replacement.
