GE Electric Range Broil Element (WB30X46986)

The GE Electric Range Broil Element is the upper heating element in your oven that provides intense, direct heat from above for broiling meats, melting cheese, and browning the tops of dishes. It works by converting electrical current into radiant heat, which is focused downward onto food placed on the top oven rack. This element is a direct replacement for the original part and is designed to fit your GE electric range precisely.

A GE electric range broil element can fail due to normal wear over time, power surges, grease buildup causing hot spots, or physical damage from contact with cookware or food. When the element burns out or shorts, it may stop heating entirely or heat unevenly, leaving food undercooked or improperly browned during broiling.

These symptoms may indicate your broil element needs to be replaced:

- Broil element does not glow or produce heat when selected

- Visible cracks, blisters, or burn marks on the element surface

- Food browns unevenly or only on one side under the broiler

- Oven trips the circuit breaker when broil mode is activated

- Sparking or arcing seen coming from the upper element

- Broil function works intermittently or shuts off mid-cycle
