Whirlpool Oven Bake Element 326793 OEM Part

The Oven Bake Element, produced by Whirlpool, serves as an authentic replacement component suitable for a range of appliances manufactured by Whirlpool. This includes ovens from brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, as well as specific Sears-Kenmore and Ikea models. Positioned at the top of the oven, this element is essential for generating the infrared heat required for effective baking and warming. Crafted from robust ceramic and metal, it is designed to endure high temperatures.

The Whirlpool Oven Bake Element features specifications of 2500 Watts and 240 Volts with measurements of 21-3/4 inches in width and 15-3/8 inches in length. The distance from the mounting bracket to the terminals is 3 inches, with a terminal spacing of 19-1/8 inches.

Symptoms of a defective bake element can include uneven heating or inadequate temperature on the upper oven surface, premature cessation of bake cycles due to heat loss, frequent thermal cut-out error messages, and visible signs of damage, such as cracks or breaks in the coil or insulator ring.

This component is also compatible with select Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and some Kenmore wall oven models that utilize the same element configuration.

Replacing a malfunctioning bake element can effectively address issues related to insufficient heating during baking.
