The Bake Element is an OEM part for GE wall ovens and ranges. It generates the necessary heat through a series of exposed coils to bake and brown food consistently.
Symptoms of a failed bake element include:
- Inability to reach or maintain proper baking temperatures
- Burned-out coils causing uneven or sporadic heating
- Error codes relating to sensor detection of element issues
- Premature element failure can create a hazardous smell or smoke
Causes may be normal wear of the coil material over many use cycles in high heat. Without a functioning bake element, the oven cannot reliably or safely perform its baking function.
This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances.

GE range bake element exhibited hot spots Gary P. • Milo , IA • November 26, 2019
Replaced element. The new element was perfect. The shipping was perfect. Installation would have taken less than 10 minutes if the two range wires attaching to element had been 1 inch longer. Attached thin nosed vice grips to wires at spade terminals to facilitate attachment to element. The repair was simple enough but it would have been perfect if GE engineers had made wires 1 inch longer.
