# How to Replace the Bottom Element in a Jenn-Air Oven
Jenn-Air electric ovens are equipped with two interior cooking elements. The bottom element is typically used more frequently than the broiler element at the top, so the bottom may be more prone to burn-out. When the element stops working, the Jenn-Air will not heat for cooking and baking. Replacing the bottom element takes less than half an hour. Match the old part with a new element at an appliance or hardware store.
