Ge WB49K10037 Oven Deflector OEM Part

Replaced the ignitor glow bar and deflector oven (which had a hole burned through it). Screws stripped upon disassembly of original deflector oven and needed to be replaced as well.

Somehow the igniter was getting hot enough to melt the flame spreader pan right above it. Over time the flame spreader melted down till it was coming into contact with the igniter. Not sure if it was an actual electric short, or something else that was caused from the contact between the two, but shaved the melted area down and no more tripped circuit breaker. replaced the panels with new stock and will check back again in a month.

Ordered parts from AppliancePartsPros.com. The parts arrived on time and in great shape. It took only minutes to remove the old oven bottom and replace it with the new one. I viewed the video on the page where I order the parts. It was quite good in that it showed what I would need to do to replace the old bottom and also showed what tools were needed.

I noticed that the igniter had burned s hole in the deflector panel above it. I suspected the melted deflector may have been the cause of multiple igniter failures. Replacement of the panel was more difficult than expected because the mounting screw were difficult to remove and even more difficult to screw into the new deflector panel.

Needed to replace the igniter bar and a plate above the igniter bar because it had a hole blown through it. Really easy- screw in and plug in. I attached a pull string when I pulled the old igniter bar plug through the hole into the oven so when I needed to pull the new one back, it was much easier because the insulation can get in the way. Also note- double check new screws. Without thinking, I got zinc plated screws and turned on the oven- horrible smell and could have gotten very sick. Replaced with stainless and things are great. Note to self- ALWAYS use stainless screws when there is going to be heat.
