Ge WB44T10011 Bake Element OEM Part

Watched AppliancePartsPros.com instruction video. Ordered new oven bake element, which arrived a couple days later. Removed old oven bake elelment. Installed new oven bake element. I am very appreciative of the instructional video. It's a very handy way for me to figure out if it's a do-it-yourself repair or not. In this case, another key thing it pointed out was the fact that the two wires that attach to the oven bake element have a tendency to slip back into the insulation behind the back wall of the oven, which results in having to pull the entire stove/oven unit away from the wall, remove the back panel, and fish the wires bach through the opening. This one piece of information alone, I am sure, saved me a lot of time and effort. As it was, those two wire leads on my unit were very hard to pull throught the hole as I was removing the old oven bake element, but because of the video I was prepared. I had ready a couple of big, inch wide, paper clips - the kind you put on a thick stack of papers - and clipped them onto the leads as soon as I worked them loose from the old oven bake element. This held them in place until I got the new oven bake element in position. Had I not watched that video, I am positive those leads would have slipped back into the hole and I would have had to spend the extra time and effort described above, so thank you very much for that. I actually spent more time taking the opportunity to clean the inside of the oven while I was at it, but the job of just replacing the element was no more than 10 minutes, probably less.

I ordered the replacement part and was please that it came so quickly. My husband put in it. He said it was very easy to replace.

Removed rear panel, and disconnected electrical leads. Removed old element and re-connected.

After driving around looking for this part, and not having any luck, I decided to order on line. We figured, a week without using the oven. No lie, the part was at my door the next morning. If you have any repairs, definitely order from AppliancePartsPros.com

Ordered new element from AppliancePartsPros.com and received it in 3 days. Watched the video and followed it. However, I could not get the electrical connectors to securely connect to the new element. The video warns that if this happens it may be difficult to find the wire(s) in the insulation. Turns out this happened to me on the fourth try. On the back of the stove, I located the sheet metal panel that appeared to cover the wires that connected to the element. I removed 5 screws (easy) and located the displaced wire. I pushed the element through the hole in the back so I could see the wires and the element connectors. Super easy to connect and insure attachment. Re-assembled and it all works! No more crawling half-way into the oven with poor lighting! A little hard earned knowledge is priceless.
