The bake element is the lower heating element in an electric oven — it provides the primary heat source for baking, roasting, and preheating. When the bake element is working correctly, it glows red hot during the bake cycle. When it fails, the oven will not heat at all, will take much longer to preheat, or will bake unevenly — relying only on the broil element for heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Genuine OEM part is manufactured by GE to factory specifications. It is a rabbit-ears style element rated at 2300W \/ 236V with screw-on terminals, measuring 18-1\/4\" wide x 14-1\/2\" deep to the mounting flange. It replaces a large number of older GE bake element part numbers including WB44X5061, WB44X5072, WB44X5085, WB44X6082, WB44X0192, WB44X10003, WB44X1126, WB44X192, AP2031084, 3358, and 8030, among many others.

Open the oven door. The bake element is the lower element at the bottom of the oven cavity. Remove the two Phillips screws securing the element bracket to the rear oven wall. Carefully pull the element forward toward the door — the wires connecting to the element terminals are typically only a few inches long, so pull gently and do not jerk the element free. Note the position of the two wires on the screw terminals before disconnecting — they are interchangeable on most models but it is good practice to reconnect them in the same positions. Unscrew the terminal screws, remove the old element, and connect the new WB44X5082 element to the same terminals. Slide the element back into position and secure the mounting bracket screws. Restore power and run a bake cycle to verify the element heats and glows red.

When the bake element is working, it should glow bright red during a bake cycle — if it does not glow at all, the element has failed. You can also visually inspect the element for burn marks, blistering, cracks, or visible holes or breaks in the coil. A multimeter continuity test will confirm failure: a working element shows continuity, while a failed element reads open circuit. If the element trips the circuit breaker when the bake cycle is selected, a shorted element is the likely cause.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eWhy does my oven still heat a little even with a failed bake element?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eElectric ovens have two heating elements — the bake element at the bottom and the broil element at the top. When the bake element fails, the control board may still energize the broil element to try to reach the set temperature. This results in an oven that heats slowly and unevenly — hot at the top and cool at the bottom — and often never reaches the set temperature. Food will be overcooked on top and undercooked on the bottom, or baking times will be significantly longer than normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pom-faq-item\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-q\"\u003eDoes the WB44X5082 replace WB44X5061, WB44X5072, and WB44X5085?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pom-faq-a\"\u003eYes — the WB44X5082 is the current GE bake element that supersedes all three of those earlier part numbers, as well as WB44X6082, WB44X0192, WB44X10003, and several others.
