Ge WB44X10013 Bake Element OEM Part

Disconnect the oven power. I thought that if the oven wasn't being used that no power would be at the connections, but I was wrong and took a little jolt. The oven has a cover (4 screws) over the convection fan that has to be removed to access the screws for the baking element. 2 screws hold it in and 2 screws on the electrical connections. All of the screw heads were 1/4 inch. I used a small ratchet to remove them, but you could do it with a nut driver. I also don't think I could've done it without a flashlight. Other than that, it is a simple repair.

I only had to remove 4 hex head screws for this replacement. it took 5 minutes. The only annoying thing was that it was 2 different size hex head screws.

Ordered part from you

Removed and replaced heating element.

Disconnect range from power supply. Removed oven door for ease of replacing elements, (door slides off hinges) Remove screws that attach element to oven, (4 on the broil element and 2 on the bake element) Pull element toward the front of oven to expose wiring. disconnect wires and disguard old element. replace new element in reverse steps. I decided to replace both the broil and bake element's due to the age of the range and also due to fact that the oven gets used every day. The only tool i used was a nut driver and i believe it was a 1/4". I recoment replacing both elements at the same time due to the older the elements get's, the less efficient they become, and also through my experience if you dont you will be in a short time later.
