Oven Bake Element 318255103 OEM Part

The Range/Stove/Oven/Microwave Bake Element, rated at 2300 watts, is a critical component for electric oven functionality. Produced by Frigidaire, which also markets under Electrolux and Sears-Kenmore, this original equipment manufacturer (OEM) part is designed to produce heat within electric ovens. Situated at the base of the oven, just beneath the lowest rack or oven floor, this element transforms electrical energy into radiant heat. The generated heat disperses uniformly to facilitate both baking and roasting, ensuring the oven achieves and sustains the required cooking temperature for optimal results.<br /><br />This replacement part is engineered to be compatible with models from Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Sears/Kenmore. <br /><br />Typical performance issues that this part can resolve include:<br /><br />- The oven's failure to achieve or maintain the specified temperature.<br />- Extended periods required for preheating or delays in reaching the desired temperature setting.<br />- Audible popping or sparking noises emanating from the element during operation.
