WB44K5012 General Electric Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

Range/Stove/Oven Bake Element

GE offers products under the Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore brands. The Oven Bake Element, an OEM part for GE ovens, is positioned at the bottom of the oven. It plays a crucial role in generating the heat required for baking. When the oven is activated, electricity passes through the element, heating it until it glows red. This process distributes heat evenly, ensuring consistent baking temperatures.

Signs of a malfunctioning oven bake element include:

- The oven not heating properly or taking longer to heat
- Uneven cooking or baking results
- The element not glowing fully during use
- Visible damage such as blistering, cracks, or holes on the element

Common reasons for bake element failure are regular wear and tear, prolonged exposure to high temperatures, or electrical issues like short circuits.

This replacement part from GE is also suitable for Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Note: This bake element features ¼” push-on wire terminals. If your old wire connectors are incompatible, consider ordering TJMA02875-1.

This part addresses the following issues:
- Little to no heat when baking
- Uneven oven heating
- Oven overheating
- Oven not starting
- Element not heating
