How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2031097 / WB44X5099 Oven Bake Element

We were in need of a new bake element for our 50 years old GE oven. We had no idea what part number or model number will fit our oven. I was searching online to try to find a right part. With luck, I came upon AppliancePartsPros website. I asked my husband to search for a part in this website so that I can prepare lunch. When lunch was ready, I called him. I had no idea he was chatting online with one of the AppliancePartsPros's customer service. After he finished eating, she was still there, waiting for him. Wow, what's a good service! She makes me feel guilty for having her wait for him to finish his lunch. We had to locate the oven's serial number and/or model number. The oven was quite old, so some of the numbers was missing. My husband took a picture of the oven and the model number (with a missing number) and sent to the online chat customer service. She couldn't find a correct part for our oven, but promised to have one of the technicians researches on Monday (it was on Sunday when we were chatting) and send us an email. On Monday afternoon, we received an email from Robin informed us the model number of our bake element. We ordered the part. The price was lower than other websites. Two days later, it showed up. Very fast shipping and handling! It was packed very well as well! My husband put it in the oven on the weekend. It fit perfectly, and only took him about 15 minutes or so to install it. We were very please with the purchase and really appreciate for all the helps and great customer service from AppliancePartsPros. We tried the new part by baking pizza that evening. It was great! 

My parents' old oven needed a new bake element after the old one disintegrated. The oven's part number was no where to be found, but the helpful folks at this site found the correct replacement part. Shipping was quick and it arrived when promised, in time for me to fix the oven on the weekend. With a few simple tools and five minutes, the old element was out and the new one in. The oven is back in business. My Dad was sure they'd have to buy a new oven. Thanks for helping me maintain my reputation as a miracle worker! 

This is a really old GE unit and AppliancePartsPros was able to find the correct replacement elements for the two ovens. Installation was straight forward using a 1/4" socket driver. The whole process for removing the two old elements and replacing the two new elements was around 15 minutes. The parts were correct and now both ovens function as they should. Thanks, guys! 

When I contacted both GE and AppliancePartsPros, neither could even locate the oven by Model No. and Serial No. AppliancePartsPros was able to locate a replacement heating element, double checked the type of end fittings, and shipped it right away. The replacement element fits perfectly, installed easily, and the oven is working fine (total repair cost $35.) . 

We had a special challenge with this repair, since the range/oven is so old, the serial numbers weren't readable, having been obliterated by oven cleaners since the 1960s. AppliancePartsPros were great, and the customer service person was amazingly knowledgeable and patient as we tried to figure out exactly which part was the right one. As it turns out, it was perfect, and it took five minutes for someone to replace it (I didn't do the repair myself; I was only a spectator.) Thanks very much! 

Ordered the element from your company and replaced it.
