Lower Bake Element WP7406P428-60

Hi Craig, great question! Replacing the lower bake element should not be a difficult installation. After disconnecting the power, you will need to remove the screws that hold the element in place, there should be 2. You can then carefully pull the element out, until the wire terminals are visible. Unplug old element from the wires and plug the new element in. From there you can install the new replacement part. Best of luck with this repair!

Hello Judy, Thanks for your question. The prongs are on the right side, from the perspective of where you'd be facing towards the machine plugging the element in. I hope this helps.

Hello Wanda, we would recommend to first check the terminal block to see if anything has been damaged or loosened, especially where the power cord connects. Then you should check the range for shortage using an ohm meter at the terminal block, if the connection is there you will get a reading. If you get a reading you can slowly disconnect components one at a time until the continuity reading disappears. This will mean that the component that you disconnected right before the continuity disappeared is where your problem lies. There should be a wiring diagram that can help you pinpoint the different components and aid in finding the shortage. Please let us know if you have any further questions!

Hello Mike, thank you for contacting us. You would remove the two screws that hold the element in place. Then pull the element out about 3 inches and disconnect the two wires. If there is a lot of resistance on the wires you can clip them or clamp them so they don't fall back in the holes, then just connect them to the new element and install. Hope this helps!

Hi Krista, we recommend testing your oven sensor with a multi-meter tool, it should read 1090 ohms of resistance at room temperature. If this test goes well you should test your bake element for continuity. If that also goes well, based on your symptoms, you have a faulty control board on your range. I hope this helps!

Hello Joe, Thank you for the question. Yes, you will need to pull the appliance out and remove the back panel to locate the wire. Hope this helps!

Hello Marla, Thank you for contacting us. We have researched the model you have provided and have found the part you are looking for is PartSelect Number: PS11744518 for the Lower Oven Bake Element. It is best to go by the part number and model number and not the dimensions as we are going by a 1" grid and it is a estimate. The model number can guarantee the correct part. We hope this helps!

Hello Robert, Thanks for your question. You will need to align the bake element with the connectors in the back of your oven. They are likely on the right side. I hope this helps.

Hello, thank you for your question. Lower Bake Element WP7406P428-60 is the correct bake element for the lower oven on your appliance. It is curved so that it will be connected on the back right side. I hope this helps!

Hello John, Thank you for the question. I suggest testing the Long Oven Sensor, PartSelect Number PS1570174. This long oven sensor is also commonly known as a temperature sensor. It is designed for use with ovens and ranges. It is similar to a thermostat; it measures and regulates the internal temperature of your oven cavity.Testing the temperature sensor probe on your oven is easy. With the sensor at room temperature, measure the resistance between the two prongs at the end of the sensor connector. The resistance of the sensor should read approximately 1080 – 1090 ohms at room temperature. Hope this helps, good luck with this repair!
