Check the shape, terminal spacing and mounting plate of your old element against this one, and compare the wattage, before ordering. No specific models are on file for 4055917803.

Oven not heating or slow to reach temperature?

Oven elements heat by passing current through a resistance wire packed inside a sheathed tube. Over years of heating and cooling, the wire can break or the sheath can split. Then the oven may not heat at all, take much longer to come up to temperature, cook unevenly, or trip the power as soon as it is turned on. You may see a blister, bulge or burnt spot on the element itself. Test the element for continuity with the power off before replacing it, because a faulty thermostat or selector switch can give the same results.

Fitting the element

Turn the oven off at the switchboard, as most are hard-wired and should be worked on by a licensed electrician. Remove the racks and any panel covering the element. Photograph the terminal connections, then transfer them to the new element exactly as they were. Run the oven empty for a short time when finished, since some smoke from a new element is normal.
