Generates heat for the bake cycle

Details

This is a genuine OEM bake heating element used in many GE, Hotpoint, and Kenmore electric ranges and wall ovens. It mounts at the bottom of the oven cavity and produces radiant heat for baking. Over time, the element can burn out, blister, or break, leading to no heat or uneven baking results. Replacing it restores full heating performance. The element features a “rabbit-ears” design and measures approximately 17-5/8 inches wide by 19-3/4 inches deep.
