GE Oven Bake Burner (WB16K10043)

The GE Oven Bake Burner is the heating element in your gas range or dual fuel oven that produces the flame used to heat the oven cavity during baking and roasting cycles. It sits at the bottom of the oven compartment and receives gas through a supply tube, igniting to maintain the temperature set on your controls. Without a properly functioning bake burner, the oven cannot reach or hold the heat needed to cook food evenly.

The GE Oven Bake Burner can fail due to cracks or breaks in the burner tube, clogged ports from grease or food debris, or corrosion from years of heat exposure. A damaged or blocked burner may ignite poorly, burn unevenly, or fail to light at all, leaving your oven unable to bake at the correct temperature.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if your bake burner needs to be replaced:

- Oven does not heat up or fails to reach the set temperature

- Burner does not ignite or takes multiple attempts to light

- Weak or uneven flame across the burner

- Food is undercooked or bakes unevenly

- Visible cracks, breaks, or corrosion on the burner tube

- Oven heats intermittently and shuts off unexpectedly
