It heats up to high temperatures and radiates heat throughout the oven cavity to cook food evenly from below, working together with the broil element above to maintain consistent oven temperatures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBake elements fail when the metal coil inside breaks or develops cracks from thermal expansion and contraction over thousands of heating cycles. Exposure to spills, moisture, or corrosive oven cleaning products can also degrade the element's protective coating and cause it to burn out or short circuit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatch for these signs that your bake element may need replacement:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Oven does not heat to the set temperature or heats very slowly\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Visible cracks, breaks, or blistering on the element surface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Food bakes unevenly with cold spots or burnt areas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Element glows red only partially or not at all during preheating\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Burning smell or sparking coming from the oven bottom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Oven temperature fluctuates wildly during baking cycles\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Circuit breaker trips when the oven is turned on\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"GE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42436152197205,"sku":"WB44T10069","price":61.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0569\/6189\/2437\/files\/ge-bake-element-wb44t10069.jpg?v=1777270695","url":"https:\/\/homepartsplus.com\/products\/wb44t10069","provider":"Home Parts Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
