It works by drawing current through a metal heating coil that glows red-hot and radiates heat evenly throughout the oven cavity. Without a functioning bake element, your oven cannot reach or maintain the temperatures required for proper cooking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGE lower oven bake elements commonly fail due to age, repeated heating and cooling cycles, food spills that cause hot spots, or physical damage from contact with cookware.
