WP71001680 Whirlpool Bake Element

The Bake Element is a genuine OEM replacement part designed for Whirlpool ranges, and it is compatible with several brands including Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore models. Whirlpool's range of products also extends to brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and they supply parts for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea appliances.

As the main source of heat in the oven, the Bake Element provides steady and adjustable heat for cooking. It is common for the element to show signs of wear after extensive use at high temperatures, which may lead to accelerated wear and tear.

When the Bake Element starts to fail, you might notice symptoms such as reduced or uneven heating and potential arcing caused by insulation wear after many heating cycles. Additionally, the oven may not heat up at all if the element is malfunctioning.

This replacement part addresses these issues, ensuring your oven returns to optimal functioning.
