GE Bottom Oven Deflector (WB35X37973)

The GE Bottom Oven Deflector sits at the base of the oven cavity and directs heat evenly throughout the cooking space in your gas range or dual fuel appliance. It works by channeling heat from the burner upward and around the oven interior, helping maintain consistent temperatures for more even baking and roasting results.

The GE Bottom Oven Deflector can become damaged from prolonged exposure to high heat, grease buildup, or physical impact from heavy cookware dropped into the oven. Warping, cracking, or corrosion over time can disrupt airflow patterns inside the oven, leading to uneven cooking temperatures and poor performance.

If you notice any of these symptoms in your gas range or dual fuel oven, this deflector may need to be replaced:

- Uneven baking or roasting with hot spots or undercooked areas

- Visible cracks, warping, or corrosion on the bottom oven panel

- Food burning on one side but not cooking through on the other

- Unusual flames or heat patterns visible at the oven floor

- Longer than normal preheat times or difficulty reaching set temperature

- Rattling or shifting sounds from the bottom of the oven during use
