WP74010750 Genuine OEM Whirlpool Oven Bake Element
The WP74010750 is a Genuine OEM Whirlpool replacement oven bake element compatible with select Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Maytag, KitchenAid, Amana, Kenmore, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper electric ranges and ovens — particularly CE-series, JDS-series, and MES-series slide-in and freestanding ranges. The bake element is the lower heating element located at the bottom of the oven cavity. It provides the primary heat source for baking, roasting, and preheating. When the element coil burns through, the oven will not heat, will bake unevenly, or will trip the circuit breaker when the bake cycle is selected.
This Genuine OEM part is manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications and is rated at 2585W with push-on terminal ends (two 1/4" high-temp connectors). It measures approximately 23-5/8" wide x 15-3/8" long with 3-3/8" inserts. It directly replaces 74010750, 74003039, 7406P425-60, 1184162, WP74010750VP, ERB0750, AP6011209, PS11744404, and several additional cross-reference numbers. Installs in 15–20 minutes with basic hand tools.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Unplug Range or Turn Off Breaker Before Starting Disconnect power before beginning and allow the oven to cool completely. Open the oven door and remove all racks. The bake element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity. Remove the screws securing the element bracket to the rear oven wall — typically one or two Phillips screws at the back. Carefully pull the element forward toward the door to expose the two 1/4" push-on wire connectors behind the oven rear wall. Note the position of each wire before disconnecting — take a photo. Pull each wire connector off the element terminals by gripping the connector (not the wire) and pulling straight back. Connect the two wires to the new WP74010750 element's terminals, slide the element back into position, and secure the mounting screws. Restore power and run a bake cycle to confirm the element heats and glows red. Tools needed: Phillips screwdriver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my bake element has failed?
The clearest sign is an oven that does not heat, takes much longer than usual to preheat, or bakes food unevenly with the bottom undercooked. When the bake element is working, it should glow bright red during a bake cycle. If it does not glow at all, the element has failed. You can also visually inspect the element for burn marks, blistering, cracks, or a visible break in the coil. A multimeter continuity test will confirm failure — a working element shows continuity (resistance of approximately 10–100 ohms), while a failed element reads open circuit. If the element trips the circuit breaker when selected, the element coil has shorted to the metal housing — replace it immediately.
What is the difference between WP74010750 and WP74003019?
Both are Genuine OEM Whirlpool oven bake elements but for different model families and with different wattage ratings. The WP74010750 is rated 2585W and is used on CE, JDS, and MES-series electric ranges. The WP74003019 is rated 2800W and is used on a different set of models. They are not interchangeable — always verify your model number to confirm which element is correct for your oven before ordering.
Is it normal for a bake element to arc or spark before it fully fails?
Yes — it is not unusual for a bake element to arc or spark at a weak spot before the coil fully burns through. If you see sparking, arcing, or a bright flash from the element area, immediately turn off the oven and disconnect power. Do not use the oven again until the element has been replaced. An arcing element can damage the oven liner and, in rare cases, pose a fire risk. The good news is that once you replace the WP74010750 element, the oven should perform normally again.
Are the wires interchangeable on the bake element terminals?
On most electric range bake elements — including the WP74010750 — the two terminal wires are interchangeable. The bake element is a resistance heater with no polarity, so either wire can connect to either terminal and the element will heat correctly. However, it is good practice to photograph the original connection before disconnecting to ensure you reconnect in the same configuration, particularly if one wire is color-coded differently from the other.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Whirlpool to factory specifications. It is the exact same bake element installed in compatible Whirlpool, Jenn-Air, Maytag, and related brand electric ranges from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
