Product Overview

The Whirlpool WP7406P428-60 Bake Element is engineered as a direct replacement for the original heating component found in many Whirlpool electric ranges. Constructed from high‑grade, heat‑resistant metal alloy, the element is designed to withstand repeated heating cycles while delivering consistent, even temperature distribution across the oven cavity. Its black finish not only matches the aesthetic of most appliance interiors but also helps reduce glare and heat loss. With dimensions of 21.7 x 3.2 x 21.8 inches and a weight of just 1.7 pounds, the element fits seamlessly into the designated bake compartment, connecting to the existing wiring harness without the need for additional adapters or modifications. The part carries the OEM designation 7406P428-60, ensuring full compatibility with Whirlpool model numbers 7406P428-60, 74004107, PS11744518, W10310271, and WP7406P428-60VP. Designed for durability, the element is tested to meet Whirlpool’s strict performance standards, providing reliable operation for years of baking, roasting, and broiling tasks.

Usage

This bake element is intended for use in residential and light‑commercial electric ovens that require a bottom‑mounted heating source. Ideal for home cooks, bakers, and small‑scale catering operations, the element delivers the steady, radiant heat necessary for achieving golden crusts, fluffy cakes, and evenly roasted vegetables. Installation is straightforward: simply disconnect power, remove the old element, and insert the new WP7406P428-60 in its place, securing the mounting brackets and reconnecting the wiring. Once installed, the element works with the oven’s existing temperature controls, allowing you to set precise bake temperatures from 200°F up to 500°F. Whether you are preparing a family dinner, a batch of cookies, or a holiday turkey, this element ensures that your oven reaches and maintains the desired temperature without hot spots or temperature fluctuations. It is also suitable for use in specialty baking applications such as artisan bread, pastries, and delicate desserts that demand precise thermal control.
