Whirlpool wpw10308477vp Bake Element Lower Oven

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wpw10308477vp is a genuine OEM lower bake element designed for electric ranges and wall ovens. This heating element mounts at the bottom of the oven cavity and converts electrical energy into radiant heat for baking and roasting cycles. It is a direct factory replacement, meaning it matches the original part's physical dimensions, wattage rating, and terminal configuration. Licensed appliance technicians and qualified service pros install this type of component when the original element shows visible burn-through, fails to heat, or trips a breaker due to a short.

This lower bake element is used in residential electric ranges and built-in wall ovens where the OEM part wpw10308477vp is specified. It is installed in the oven cavity base, typically secured by two mounting screws and connected to the rear of the oven liner via spade or slip-on terminals. This part is appropriate for any repair situation where the original lower element has failed and a like-for-like OEM replacement is required rather than an aftermarket substitute.
