Could a failing Bake Heating Element cause the KITCHENAID KITCHENAID OVEN to have symptom: Not Heating Bake Element?

The bake element is a resistive conductor that converts electrical energy into heat. Over time, the repeated expansion and contraction of the internal NiChrome wire during thermal cycling leads to work-hardening and eventually a physical break in the filament. Once the internal wire or the outer protective sheath is compromised, the circuit is broken, and the element can no longer produce the heat necessary for the bake cycle.
