General Electric Oven JKP14WP1 Element will not heat

The Broil Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This element is located at the top of the oven and is crucial for the broiling function, providing high heat for cooking dishes such as meats and vegetables directly under the heat source. The broil element glows red hot when in use, creating the necessary temperature to sear food and lock in flavors.

Symptoms of a failing Broil Element include:

• The element not heating up when the broil setting is activated
• Uneven cooking or lack of browning on food intended to be broiled
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering, bubbling, or breaks in the element coil
• No visible glow from the element during operation

Causes of a bad broil element often involve burnout from regular use, electrical issues such as faulty wiring or a malfunctioning thermostat that doesn't cycle the heat correctly.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This component is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and is responsible for generating the heat needed for baking. By converting electrical energy into heat, the bake element ensures even temperature distribution throughout the oven, allowing for consistent cooking results. 

Causes of a malfunctioning Oven Bake Element may involve visible signs of wear or damage, like blistering or holes, a break in the element that hinders proper heating, and burnout or malfunctioning resulting from age or excessive use.

Symptoms of a failing Oven Bake Element include:

• The oven not heating to the set temperature
• Uneven baking results
• No visible glow from the element when the oven is turned on
• The oven taking longer than usual to preheat

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
