Range bake element replacement is the most common repair on the oven of an electric, dual-fuel or induction range. The bake element lies on the oven floor or under a smooth floor panel, the broil element hangs from the ceiling, and each is a sheathed resistance wire that glows when current flows through it. After enough heating cycles the wire thins and breaks, often with a flash and a blister on the sheath, and from then on that element does nothing. A range whose oven browns only the tops of dishes has usually lost its bake element; one that bakes but will not broil has lost the element above. Before the new part goes in, the wires and terminals behind the rear wall and the relay or thermostat that switches the element are checked, since a burned connection or a stuck relay will ruin the replacement. How the visit goes ### What it usually costs Low · Bake or broil element The most frequent part on an electric range oven. A hidden bake element under the floor panel adds some time, and scorched terminals behind the rear wall are replaced in the same visit. ### Answers 5 problems Range Oven Not Heating Range Broiler Not Working · Range Oven Temperature Wrong · Range Keeps Tripping the Breaker · Range Burning Smell ### Comes up most on Electric range Dual-fuel range · Induction range ### Codes that lead here 010-014 · 130-136 · F80 · C-21 AGA eR7 range showing error 010-014. ## Bake and broil elements, step by step. Fit the new element, restore power and run a bake and a broil, watching the element heat and the control switch it off at the set temperature. 01 Switch off the range at the breaker, take out the racks and, on a hidden-element oven, lift the floor panel. 02 Measure each element across its terminals and from terminal to sheath, and look for blisters or breaks. 03 Check the wires and connectors behind the rear wall for scorching and replace any that are burned. 04 Fit the new element, restore power and run a bake and a broil, watching the element heat and the control switch it off at the set temperature. ## The problems it answers. 5 of them, from range oven not heating to range burning smell.

Can I still use the range top? Leave the oven off; the broken element can arc again. The burners or zones on top are on separate circuits inside the range and can usually still be used, unless the breaker keeps tripping, in which case leave the whole range off until it is repaired. ### How do I know which element has failed? Set the oven to bake and look after a few minutes. On many ranges both elements take part in preheat, so the one that stays dark is the suspect. On a model with a hidden bake element the oven floor stays cool when that element has failed. ### Can a failed element make the oven run too hot? Rarely on its own. An oven that overshoots its setting usually has a relay stuck closed or a sensor reading low, and that is tested alongside the element. ### Is the broil element the same as the one in the drawer below? No. On ranges with a warming drawer, the drawer has its own small element and control, and a failure there does not affect the oven above. On older gas ranges the drawer may be a broiler with a flame, which is a different repair. --- **[Read on the site: Range Bake and Broil Element Repair | RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/services/bake-and-broil-element-repair/)** **[Book a visit with RangeRepair.center](https://rangerepair.center/schedule/)**
