When the base of the oven stops heating, this is the part to check. 140124238027 is the genuine 1800W lower element for Westinghouse and Electrolux ovens, also known as A12423802. The models on file are the Westinghouse WVE915SCA and WVE915DSCA, the WVE916SCC, and the WVE9515SD.

Westinghouse oven not heating from the bottom?

The lower element usually sits under the oven floor and supplies bottom heat for conventional baking and any function that combines top and bottom heat. When it burns out, the oven may still warm up on fan or grill settings but takes much longer to reach temperature on conventional bake, cakes and pastry come out pale or undercooked underneath, and the safety switch may trip if the element has shorted to earth. An element that has blistered, split or has a visible break is finished. A multimeter test across the terminals confirms an open circuit.

Changing the bottom element

Ovens are usually hard-wired, so isolate the power at the switchboard and have a licensed electrician do any work on the wiring. Remove the oven floor panel or rear access cover to reach the element. Take a photo of the terminals before disconnecting, fit the new element with the same connections, and run the oven on conventional bake to check the base heats evenly.

Questions about this part
