Bake elenent caught fire

Kenmore range Model 911.95402000, it looks like the bake element caught fire. Is it just a matter of replacing the element or could there be other issues? Another element costs 50.00. Should i replace the range?

A non working Range is not something any of us want to see. If you are technically handy, this is a good site to get instruction and fix some things yourself. If you do not feel confident doing your own repairs, an option is to visit Sears Home Services and use the scheduler. While you wait for the expert to review your model, you can check the bottom links for some possibilities. Hope this is of help.

When the bake element shorts enough to cause a fire, it sometimes damages the contacts in the relay on the clock. If this happens, the clock will have to be replaced along with the bake element.

I think you would be wise to consider replacing the range. You can shop prices and features at Sears.com

This is a great place to go for advice, especially if you're low on funds and you could resolve the problem before calling and paying a service call, if it's an easy fix. I'm glad you are there for me.
