How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2030967 / WB44K5009 Oven Broil Element

To fix it - I started by looking up the model number located inside the microwave. With the model number, I tracked down the broken part on the web and ordered a new one (AppliancePartsPros.com was by far the least expensive). To help guide me with the installation there was a video on the web that was very helpful. It only took about 10 minutes total replace the old element. 

Replaced with new element. 

Ordered, received in two days, opened the oven, pulled out the element and replaced. Easy. 

Replaced both elements after viewing the "how to" video. 

Found the exact part on Appliance Parts Pros for a 20-year old oven. Watched a video online as to how to complete the repair. 

Very carefully removed the old unit and installed new. 

This is a built in double over. The upper oven had the problem but because the door is quite high it is nearly imposable to reach the upper rear of the oven with both hands. I built a platform out of plywood which sat above the door on which I could lay. On my side I was able to get both hands into the oven to work on replacing the element. When I removed the bad element and pulled it out, the wires connecting it were very short so I tied a piece of nylon string to them so I wouldn't lose them through the back. Getting them plugged into the new unit was very difficult but I finally got them both connected, pushed the new element back in place and connected it to the over with the two screws. Everything now works great. 

Found the part number for my GE Oven on the inside door, ordered it on here, carefully removed the old broiler element from it's brackets, unscrewed, pulled wires out from the back, detached power clips, and then reverse engineered the new one in. 

By using the online chat I made sure the part I was ordering was the correct replacement part for my GE Profile oven. It arrived in two days. It was a matter of unplugging the oven; remove two screws to remove the old part; then plug in the new one and replace the screws. Note that we had already replaced the oven element (which was purchased the same way) about two years prior. We have now purchased dishwasher, refrigerator and oven parts from AppliancePartsPros and happy each time. 

I ordered on Monday morning and they came Wednesday. My son was able to replace both and I now have an oven that works! It took less than 15 minutes!
