HEATER-ELEMENT 00367648

This OEM heater element, or bake element, is approximately 22 inches wide and generates heat in your oven for cooking and baking. It is commonly located at the bottom of the oven. The element is secured to a bracket with two screws and connects to the power source. You may suspect a faulty element if your oven cooks food unevenly or fails to heat up. If the element has breaks, bulges, or holes in the heating coil, it needs to be replaced. To check if it has shorted out, use a multimeter in continuity mode or the lowest ohms setting. Touch the probes to the wire terminals. A functioning element should cause the multimeter to beep or display a reading of approximately 10 to 75 ohms. To replace the element, start by shutting off the oven at the circuit breaker and unplugging the appliance. Open the oven door and pull out the racks. Unthread the screws at the back of the oven using a screwdriver. Gently pull the element out to access the wiring behind it, ensuring not to pull out any insulation or lose the wires in the insulation or behind the stove. Please keep in mind that this replacement part does not come with any accompanying hardware.
