W11545804 Whirlpool Oven Bake Element

Oven Bake Element Description:
The Bake Element is a genuine OEM replacement part suitable for Whirlpool electric ranges, and it also fits certain models from Maytag, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore appliances. Whirlpool's portfolio includes brands like Amana, KitchenAid, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral, and they manufacture products compatible with Sears-Kenmore and Ikea.

Positioned inside the oven cavity, this 2800W element plays a crucial role in heating the oven for the baking process. It is designed with an outer housing that safeguards the internal coils, enhancing its ability to handle high temperatures and distribute heat effectively throughout the oven.

Potential reasons for malfunction in the bake element may involve the wear and tear of coil insulation after prolonged usage, damage to the outer housing due to impact or rough handling, or electrical shorts in the coil wiring.

Indicators of a malfunctioning bake element are:
- Insufficient or uneven heating during the baking process.
- The oven's inability to reach or maintain the desired baking temperature.
- Noticeable cracking or sparking sounds from the bake element.

This component ensures consistent performance and durability for effective baking operations.
