The Bake Element is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It is the internal heating element located at the bottom of the oven cavity that provides heat for baking and convection cooking functions. This heating element measures 17 1/2 x 18 1/2 inches.

Causes of a bad bake element include failure due to normal wear and tear over extended use. Exposure to spills or splatters inside the oven can potentially damage heating coils or insulators.  

Symptoms of a bad bake element are:  

• Inconsistent or uneven baking temperatures
• Element does not heat up or turns red but puts out no heat  
• Buzzing/humming sounds from beneath oven cavity
• Failure of oven to operate or preheat as expected

This OEM part is also compatible with ranges sold under the Hotpoint, RCA and some Kenmore brands. 

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. This kit replaces the points of connection delivering power to control circuits and surface coil elements atop the cooktop.  

Causes of failure are prolonged heat cycling which slowly breaks down solder joints and insulator coating on terminals conducting power. Liquids spilled can seep into connection areas over time promoting electrical faults.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate specific burners   
• Burners that glow intermittently or fail to respond
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use of problematic zones  
• Buzzing or cracking noises from under cooktop areas

This genuine GE kit is also compatible with Hotpoint and RCA electric ranges.

The 8 Inch Burner Bowl is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops. This part sits beneath the heating element to catch spills, drips, and crumbs that fall during cooking. Not only does it facilitate easier cleanup, but it also plays a role in reflecting heat back to the cookware, enhancing cooking efficiency.

Causes of a bad 8-inch burner bowl can include the accumulation of cooked-on spills and debris, rust and corrosion from moisture exposure, as well as warping or physical damage that affects fit and function.

Symptoms of a bad 8 Inch Burner Bowl include:

• Poor fit on the stove, affecting stability of pots and pans
• Difficulty in cleaning due to excessive staining or corrosion
• Reduced heating efficiency if the bowl no longer reflects heat effectively

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The 6-Inch Burner Bowl is an OEM part compatible with GE ranges and cooktops. This component serves as the base for the burner assembly, housing the burner head and providing a stable platform for cooking utensils.

Symptoms of a faulty burner bowl include:

• Cracks, chips, or visible damage to the bowl itself
• Uneven or inefficient heating due to a warped or damaged bowl
• The bowl becoming loose or detached from the cooktop surface

Causes of needing to replace the burner bowl can include physical impact or mishandling, exposure to extreme temperatures or spills, or general wear and tear from extended use.

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

The Oven Rack is an OEM part for GE ovens. It provides a stable and reliable surface for placing baking sheets, pans, and dishes inside the oven for cooking or baking.

Causes of a faulty oven rack can include wear and tear over time, bending or warping due to heavy items or improper handling, or damage from cleaning or harsh chemicals. A damaged or malfunctioning oven rack can lead to uneven cooking, unstable support for cookware, or difficulty in removing or inserting the rack into the oven.

Symptoms of a bad oven rack may include:

• Uneven cooking or baking results
• Difficulty sliding the rack in or out of the oven
• Bent or warped rack structure
• Instability when placing cookware on the rack

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Oven Light Lens is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to protect and cover the oven light bulb. It allows for a clear view of the oven's interior, making it easier to monitor the cooking progress without opening the oven door, thus maintaining a consistent temperature.

Over time, the oven light lens can become discolored or cloudy from exposure to high temperatures, grease, and food splatters, which can diminish its effectiveness. Additionally, accidental bumps or cleaning can lead to cracks or breaks in the lens.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Light Lens include:

• Diminished light output, making it hard to see inside the oven
• Cracks or damage to the lens itself
• Discoloration or cloudiness that cannot be cleaned off
• The lens becoming loose or falling off

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

The Terminal Block Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE electric stoves. It acts as the central wiring connection hub, routing power to critical heating components such as the oven bake/broil elements and stovetop burners. 

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include: 

• Intermittent or unpredictable burner/heating element operation 
• Inability to achieve proper cooking temperatures
• Buzzing or crackling noises from inside the stove cabinet  

Causes stem from normal wear over time, as vibration and heat cycling can cause cracks or corrosion in the block's electrical connections.

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

The Door Gasket Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges and wall ovens. This assembly forms an airtight seal around the oven door to retain heat within the cooking chamber. The door gasket is responsible for ensuring optimal cooking temperatures can be maintained regardless of outdoor conditions. It prevents hot air and moisture from escaping the oven cavity.

Causes of a bad door gasket assembly can include deterioration of sealing materials over many heating and cooling cycles. Physical damage from impact or over-closing of the heavy oven door may also occur.

Symptoms of a bad oven door gasket assembly include:

• Inefficient or uneven cooking as heat escapes around the edges
• Condensation appearing on exterior oven surfaces during baking
• Visibly observable gaps around the door frame when closed

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

The Receptacle Push-In is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. This component securely holds the electrical receptacle/plug in place on the back of the range. Proper functioning of the receptacle push-in allows for a stable electrical connection and safe cord positioning.

Causes of a bad receptacle push-in include normal wear over time, bending/stress on the receptacle area, or damage affecting its securing ability.

Symptoms of a bad receptacle push-in are:

• Loose or wobbly electrical plug connection
• Exposed wiring or fragile cord positioning
• Tripped breakers or recurring electrical issues

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

The Crystal Window is an OEM part for GE ranges. This part is the inner glass window located on the oven door, allowing users to visually monitor the cooking process without opening the door. The window is designed to withstand high temperatures and provide clear visibility into the oven.

Causes of a bad crystal window can include regular wear and tear, thermal stress from repeated heating and cooling cycles, and accidental impacts that can cause cracks or scratches. 

Symptoms of a bad crystal window include:

• Visible cracks or scratches on the window
• Cloudiness or discoloration obstructing the view
• Difficulty seeing inside the oven during cooking
• Potential safety concerns if the window's structural integrity is compromised

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