The bake element in your oven is the part that provides heat when cooking. If your oven is too hot, or not hot enough, or does not heat evenly, you may need to replace the bake element. 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.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money

The part arrived in two days and was well packaged so there was no damage. I replaced the broken baking coil and put the new one in the stove, this was very simple to do. I want to thank you so very much for saving our Thanksgiving dinner so My Wife was able to prepare the family dinner.

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.

Accidentally melted something that wasn't oven safe.

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!

Bake Element burned out
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.

I hope this helps.

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!
I ordered and received the heating element for my wall oven. It is just like the one I am replacing and this is good. There are support brackets on each side, there needs to be a support bracket in the middle. The one I had fell in the middle this caused the element to burn out. Do you sell support brackets for this element? I would like to add one to the middle.
For model number RB220PXK
Hi Dianne, thank you for contacting us. The bracket support you are looking for is not sold separately. It comes with the bake element, part number PS11740695. Glad to be of help!
