How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2031066 / WB44X10015 Oven Broil Element

The 1st thing I did was look up the model # of our Hot Point stove then Googled it and found ApplianceParts Pros.com.I typed in our # and it brought up our model with an easy to read drawing which listed our exact broiler part.I also downloaded a few YouTube videos that explained a # of different manufacturers models and how to replace their broiler coils. What I found most interesting was how to remove my oven door which really made removing and replacement of the part a snap.I also greatly appreciated after ordering one day,getting my part on my porch the VERY NEXT DAY. It fit like a glove and we were back to using our stove and could not be happier.The price was reasonable and getting the part quickly in my opinion made this an Ideal DIY project. 

Had to snip off the old clip that attaches to the bake element ear since it was damaged from bending the bake element during oven cleanup. We ordered on a Saturday and the parts arrived on Tuesday. Installation was a bit awkward because having to lean over the oven door to install the elements. Decided to do the broil also since I was at it. The oven should be good for another 10 years. 

Replaced the two pieces I ordered. 

Replaced broiler element light bulb and lens. Bulb and lens cover simple. The element took a little more time. I pulled the oven door off and removed the racks to replace the element, there were two screws in the bracket at the back of the element, and two screws in the top of the oven box which had to be removed, and the two wires were able to be pulled off and the new element inserted, I had my son hold the element in place while I held light and inserted screws in the top of the oven box. I had turned the power off at the breaker prior to replacing the element. the difficulty is with holding the element, light, lining up the holes, and getting the screws in the roof of the oven, the repair itself is simple. 

We ordered the part and did the repair at home. It works great and was fairly easy for me to fix! 

I had to replace my broil element. I watched a YouTube video on how to do it. The hardest part was getting the screws off the support bracket on top and the one on the old element. They were difficult to get to and I was not able to use a screwdriver. I had to use an adjustable wrench. Once the screws were out, it was a breeze to install the new element. 

I made sure the power was off. Then I took out the 4 hex screws to remove the defective broil element. Then I attached the new element with the same 4 screws and tested it, to make sure there would be a dinner. It matters which side is up, to match the two screw holes in the back of the over. Time required: 20 minutes. 

Replaced in five minutes 

Removed back panel from stove, unplugged heating element, removed and replaced with new heating element 

Great, I watched the repair video before starting and everything went just as it did in the video!
