Ge WB2X7694 Light Cover Retainer OEM Part

Tested the power to the unit by turning on the cooktop portion and saw that I had power to all of the burners. Turned the selector knob to broil and saw that the top element would heat up. I then turned off the breaker to the unit. I then decided to take out the baking element to do a continuity test. When I touched it, a 1.5 inch section fell out. Since that concluded my continuity test, I assumed I needed a baking element. After receiving the parts the NEXT DAY (amazingly great service from Appliance Parts Pros), I replaced the element after watching the helpful video. After turning the breaker back on, tested the element and it began heating as it is supposed to. As I stated above, the light also didn't work, so I had ordered a lamp cover and retainer when I ordered the element. It took a minute or so to change those out, replacing the bulb in the process solved the light issue. My sister-in-law called me a couple of hours later and said that she was enjoying watching her oven cook a great supper and I am her Hero! The only thing I would add is that our unit is a 40 year old GE Mark 27 unit. The video used a standard oven range that was much newer. The repairman in the video simply unplugged the wires from the baking element. In my unit there was a screw that attached the wire to each blade on the element. It was a pain in the neck simply because of the position you have to stay in to have both arms at the back of the oven performing this feat. If you have this same situation, my recommendation is to do a test run putting the new screws into the holes in the blades BEFORE you try it inside the oven. This cleans out the threads and makes it much easier to attach it inside the oven with very short wires and not much room to work. Hope this helped!

BOUGHT NEW ELEMENTS AND INSERTED THEM AND NOW THEY SEEM TO WORK FINE. THE MAIN THING TO CONSIDER IS THAT THE CORRECT SIZE AND CONFIGURATION IS ORDERED. THE SIZE --COMPARE WITH THE EXCELLENT DIAGRAM ON THE WEBSITE WHICH SHOWS THE ONE INCH SQUARES -- COMPARE THAT DIMENSION WITH THE SIZE OF THE ELEMENT YOU WISH TO REPLACE (MEASURE YOURS WITH A RULER) ALSO NOTE THE NUMBER OF TURNS OF EACH ELEMENT WHICH CAN VARY FROM 3-4-5-ETC. GET THE CORRECT ITEM!

I wish I had viewed the video first before I started working on the stove. After viewing it went together easy,

Replaced with new part. Step one is to unplug oven from power (or turn off power from breaker box). When doing this job you mast also replace the oven light gasket. It prudent but not necessary to replace the screws. Getting the light cover retainer and lamp cover assembly was only precautionary and not needed for repair. When taking off old oven light cup, particular care needs to be used in disconnecting power terminals as they are easy to snap, if this occurs there is very little room to replace terminal and may require more extensive repair work. Under optimal conditions this is a 5 min job. Removing the oven door makes the job easier but is not necessary.

Checked with you, cant believe I still found parts I needed to fix such an old oven. I followed someone else repair that thought the oven didn't work. Worked great!
