The oven element is in the bottom of the oven cavity sitting on the oven floor below the oven racks and is attached to the back wall of the oven.

Part failure symptoms:

Bake element will not get hot.

Part diagnosis:

Bake elements may fail in a manner that resembles a miniature firework display that leaves the element ragged and burned.  They can also fail with no visible evidence the bake element is bad.  The element can be removed by disconnecting all power from the range or oven.  Remove the screws attaching the element to the back wall of the oven.  Slide the bake element toward the front of the oven far enough to expose the wire connections.  Disconnect both wires from the element and take it to the nearest U-FIX-IT Appliance Parts store for free testing to confirm it is bad. Call the U-FIX-IT Appliance Parts store for free assistance with diagnosis.
