316415900 Frigidaire Bake Element for Ranges, Stoves, Ovens

The Bake Element for ranges, stoves, and ovens is a key component in Frigidaire appliances, which also include Electrolux and some Sears-Kenmore products. This OEM part is designed for Frigidaire ovens to provide the main source of heat for baking. Located at the bottom of the oven, it heats up when powered by electricity, ensuring even heat distribution throughout the oven. This is crucial for achieving well-baked foods, from pastries to meats.

Frequent use can cause the bake element to wear out over time. The constant heating and cooling cycles can lead to inefficiency or physical damage. Accidents during cleaning or moving pans can also harm the element.

Signs of a failing bake element include:

- The oven not reaching the desired temperature or taking too long to heat up
- Uneven baking results, with some areas undercooked or overcooked
- No visible glow from the element when the oven is on, indicating it isn't heating
- Physical damage such as blistering, cracks, or breaks

This OEM part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models. It addresses issues such as little to no heat when baking.
