GE Electric Bake Element (WB44T10105)

The GE Electric Bake Element is the lower heating component inside your electric range that generates the heat needed for baking and broiling. It receives electrical current and converts it into radiant heat, warming the oven cavity to the temperature you set. This 2100-watt element sits at the bottom of the oven and is essential for even, consistent cooking results.

A GE electric bake element can fail from normal wear over time, exposure to high heat cycling, food spills that cause hot spots, or physical damage from items falling onto the element. Cracks, blisters, or burn-through spots on the element's surface are common signs that it has stopped working properly and needs to be replaced.

Look for these symptoms to help determine if your bake element needs replacement:

- Oven does not heat up at all when set to bake

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

- Food bakes unevenly or takes much longer than expected

- Element glows only partially instead of along its full length

- Sparking, popping, or a burning smell coming from the oven floor

- Oven temperature is consistently lower than the setting selected
