WB44K5009 General Electric Broil Element for Range/Stove/Oven

Broil Element for Range/Stove/Oven

The Broil Element is an essential component for GE ovens, including models from Hotpoint, General Electric, and Sears-Kenmore. Positioned at the top of the oven, it plays a vital role in the broiling function by delivering high heat to cook foods such as meats and vegetables directly beneath it. When activated, the broil element heats up to a red-hot temperature, ensuring the food is properly seared and flavorful.

Signs that the Broil Element may need replacement include:

- The element does not heat up when the broil setting is selected.
- Food intended to be broiled is unevenly cooked or lacks browning.
- There is visible damage to the element, such as blistering, bubbling, or breaks in the coil.
- The element does not emit a red glow during operation.

Common reasons for a malfunctioning broil element include burnout from regular use, electrical issues like faulty wiring, or a thermostat that fails to regulate the heat properly.

This OEM part from GE is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This replacement part addresses issues such as:
- Little to no heat when broiling
- The element will not heat
