Bake Element
The bake element is the most active thermal component, subject to constant cycling to maintain cavity temperature. Over time, the internal resistive filament undergoes thermal fatigue and oxidation, eventually leading to a physical break in the circuit. Replacing this component restores the oven's ability to convert electrical energy into radiant heat via Joule heating.

Broil Element
The broil element operates at higher wattages and temperatures than the bake element, often causing faster degradation of the outer sheath if contaminated by food particulates or fats. This contamination causes localized hot spots that lead to dielectric breakdown of the magnesium oxide insulation. Replacement is necessary when the element shows visible pitting, blistering, or fails to glow.

Oven Temperature Sensor (RTD)
While the user requested an element replacement, a faulty Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) can mimic element failure by providing incorrect ohmic feedback to the control board. If the sensor's resistance does not scale correctly with temperature, the relay board may never energize the elements. This component is a common secondary failure point in the heating subsystem.
