Frigidaire 318255103 Oven Bake Element 2300W

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 318255103 is a 2300-watt oven bake element designed as a lower-oven heating component in electric ranges and oven-microwave combo units. Mounted at the bottom of the oven cavity, it converts electrical energy into radiant heat to maintain accurate baking temperatures. The resistive coil construction provides consistent heat output across the oven floor, reducing cold spots and supporting even cook results. This element is a direct-replacement part installed by appliance service technicians and knowledgeable DIY technicians working on residential electric range service calls. It replaces superseded part number 318255106.

This bake element fits electric ranges and range-oven combinations across multiple appliance brands including Crosley, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse. It is intended for residential electric oven applications where the lower bake element has failed, burned out, or shows visible damage such as cracking or arcing. Replacement is a common service task on aging electric ranges and is typically completed without specialized tooling beyond basic hand tools.

Installation Notes

Bake element replacement is performed by appliance service technicians or qualified DIY technicians. Before beginning any work, unplug the range from its wall outlet or shut off the dedicated circuit breaker to eliminate shock hazard. Work gloves are recommended when handling the element, as edges may be sharp. Consult the appliance service manual for the specific model to confirm mounting screw locations and terminal connection orientation before removal of the old element.
