Customer Questions and Answers for Convection Ring Element by Ge

This ring-style convection heating element mounts around the fan at the back of the oven and supplies heat for convection cooking. Replacing a failed element helps bring back even air heating and consistent convection bake performance.

• Provides the heat source for convection bake/roast by warming air circulated by the fan
• Helps maintain set temperature and more even results in convection mode
• Common failure signs: no heat in convection while the fan runs, slow or incomplete preheating, uneven baking, visible breaks/blisters, or an open circuit on a continuity test
• Designed to cycle under control of the oven's sensor and electronic controls

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Access may be from the rear of the appliance or by removing the interior panel over the convection fan, depending on the model
• Label and support the two element leads to keep them from retracting into the cavity; ensure terminals are fully seated
• Reuse existing mounting hardware; avoid bending the new element and verify it doesn't contact the oven cavity
