4055470795 Genuine Bottom Oven Element 2500W Vulcan for Westinghouse, Electrolux Ovens and Cookers 0122004581

Part 4055470795 is a genuine 2500W bottom element listed for the Vulcan cooker range, an Electrolux group platform used on Westinghouse models. You may also see it referenced as 0122004581. If the base of your oven no longer heats, food stays pale underneath or the oven struggles to reach temperature on bake, this element is the likely fix. Check your old element or parts list for either number.

Oven not heating from the bottom? Check the base element

The bottom element heats the oven from below and does most of the work in conventional bake. When it fails, the oven may still grill or fan bake but take far too long to heat on bake, cakes and pastry come out pale and soggy underneath, or the circuit breaker trips when that function is selected. A visual check sometimes reveals a blister, crack or burnt spot on the element sheath, though many fail without any visible damage. A continuity test across the terminals with power isolated confirms whether the element has gone open circuit.

Replacing the bottom element

Ovens are hard-wired, so turn the power off at the isolating switch or circuit breaker and let the oven cool. Depending on the model, the bottom element is reached from the back of the oven or from under the oven floor. Photograph the terminal connections before disconnecting anything. Australian rules call for a licensed electrician to replace elements in hard-wired ovens.
