This part is 2600 Watts and 240 Volts. It is a closed hinged style bake element which is 15-3/4 inches long and 16-5/8 inches wide. The terminal depth is three inches and they are 1-3/4 inches apart. This part is made of metal and is black in color. Be sure to disconnect power to the oven before completing this repair.

Shipping Dept Needs Work
The part was exactly what I needed and ordered and is working fine after I adjusted a bent lead caused by improper shipping. The part was shipped in a box that was slightly too small and when I received it, both leads had punctured through the box and were sticking out. One was slightly bent. Don't force these parts into boxes that are too small. I was fortunate to be able to repair the damage it caused and still use the part.

The part was the exact replacement. Two screws to remove the old one, hook up two wires and screw it back together. Heated up immediately and saved a ton of money because I didn't have to buy a new stove!

oven bake heater was bad. 8" burner socket went bad from loose connection burner connection got ruined.
two Phillips head screws hold the oven unit in. It culls out and the wires just disconnect. Reinstall in reverse and test..

Oven would not reach selected temperature
First, shut off the power at the breaker panel. Next, I simply unscrewed the screws holding in each element, disconnected the leads, reconnected the leads to the new elements, positioned each element & reinserted the screws. A suggestion: Before loosening the screws, a light shot of PB Blaster or similar might help.
Removed old element, replaced new element. Unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. It was the temperature sensor. But now I have a new bake element, though!

Turn off the oven circuit breaker. Remove 2 screws that hold the element in place. Carefully pull element out, about 3 inches and remove 2 attached wires by holding the element and pulling the wire clips off of the old element. Slide wire clips onto the new element and put the screws back in.

The element caught fire,(not bad) we do not have the manual, and need to replace this. Can you provide instructions on replacing this?
For model number rs596pxx8
Hi Mary Ann,
Thank you for your inquiry. There is a repair story that a customer has shared with us that help you. "First I cut off the power to the stove and double-checked to make sure no current was flowing to the unit. There were two screws attaching the bake element plate to the oven. I unscrewed the two screws and carefully pulled the bake element away from the oven exposing the contact wires. I carefully loosened the wire contacts from the bake element, slid the bake element off the contacts and then slid the new bake element onto the wire contacts. I gently clamped the contacts onto the bake element, pushed the wires back into the back of the oven and screwed back the bake element plate onto the interior of the oven. I turned on the power to test my work and I was done." I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

Oven in bake mode. Seems to be burning everything. Was baking cookies, and place the cookies in the oven. Directions said bake for 10 to 12 minutes, and in 4 to 5 minutes they were black. Why is this doing this?
For model number RF302BXYW ECN 2
Hi Darren, thank you for your question. It seems like it may be your temperature sensor that may need to be replaced. You can test that part with a multi meter to be sure. It should be reading between 1000 - 1100 ohms. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

This is the model number of a 27-year-old baking element in a Whirlpool. Not quite the same number (all same until the very end.) Will it work?
For model number RF365BXP
Hello Deborah,
Thanks for your question. Yes, this bake element is guaranteed to fit your partial model number. Please note it is the 240 volt bake element. If you need the 208 volt bake element instead, that will be part number PS11740747.
I hope this helps.
Oven stop working and would not heat. Turn off power and then turn on again. The buttons on the panel will not work seems to in a jam mood following a beeping sound. Clear turn off the power once again and try to turn on the oven all buttons work but will go straight to be on with no heat. Usually the pre-heat button will buzz follow by the buzzing sound to let you know the oven is ready. Now i don’t have any heat to it. What could be the problem? I replaced the top elements before could it be the bottom is bad? Never replace it before. Thanks for your help.

My baking element shorted out and I am looking for which one to get to replace mine.
Serial number: F51506669
Thank you!
For model number RF302BXPN 0
Hi Tiana, thank you for contacting us. We have found that your oven comes with two types of bake element, part numbers PS11740695, and PS11740747. Both versions of the part will work, but part number PS11740695 uses more current coming into the stove. Most standard electric ovens use 240 volts to operate the heating elements. Hope this helps!
