Whirlpool Range Oven Bottom Panel (WP3195097)

The Whirlpool Range Oven Bottom Panel sits at the floor of the oven cavity and protects the heating element and oven base from food spills, drips, and debris during cooking. It provides a clean, even surface inside the oven and helps direct heat properly throughout the cavity for consistent cooking results.

The Whirlpool Range Oven Bottom Panel can become damaged from heavy use, accidental impacts, or prolonged exposure to high heat and spilled foods that burn and corrode the panel surface over time. Grease buildup that ignites during self-clean cycles is also a common cause of warping, cracking, or burn-through that requires replacing the panel.

These symptoms can help you decide if a damaged oven bottom panel matches your problem:

- Visible cracks, holes, or burn-through on the floor of the oven cavity

- Warped or buckled panel that no longer sits flat

- Exposed heating element due to panel damage or breakage

- Uneven cooking or hot spots that were not present before

- Smoke or burning smell from food and grease collecting under a damaged panel

- Panel surface heavily stained or corroded beyond normal cleaning
