Fixed! Oven Whirlpool rde1300p2 Not Baking Evenly

You diligently follow the cooking instructions and preheat your oven, but when the dish comes out, some parts are overcooked while others are still raw. It’s a sign that you have a problem with the hidden bake element. All you need to do is to change this element. We have a simple guide that helps you to replace bake element in your Whirlpool rde1300p2. 

Before we have started, we highly recommend you to use only manufactured approved details. Prepare some tools: 1/4-inch nut driver, needle-nose pliers, slot screwdriver, work gloves, bake element. 

1. Shut off electrical power. Wear working gloves. 
2. Remove the oven racks. If the bake element is hidden under a bottom panel, remove the thumb screws that hold the panel in place. If a screw is stuck, use a slot screwdriver to free it. Lift the back of the panel slightly and push back to release the bottom oven panel from the retaining lip. Push down on a front corner of the bottom panel so it tips enough that you can grasp it. Work the bottom oven panel up and out of the oven.
3. Detach the bake element, use a 1/4-inch nut driver to remove 2 screws in the bottom base of the oven and 2 screws at the very back of the oven.
4. Carefully pull the bake element forward until you can reach the wires attached to the back of it. Use needle-nose pliers to disconnect the wires, taking care not to let the wires slip through the holes at the back of the oven. If the wires slip through the holes, you must pull the oven out of the cabinet to retrieve them. Remove the element from the oven.
5. Connect the wires to the back of the new bake element. Push the female spade connectors onto the spades on the new bake element. Push the female spade connectors until they are seated properly and fully connected. Carefully push the leads of the bake element into the holes at the back of the oven.
6. Position the mounting brackets so the screw holes line up. Insert and firmly tighten the mounting screws.
7. Work the bottom panel into place. Make sure the bottom oven panel is properly positioned under the retaining lip. Line up the thumb screw holes at the back of the bottom oven panel. Insert the thumb screws and tighten them by hand.
8. Slide the racks back into the oven.
9. Connect your oven to electricity.
