Bake Element WB44X190

The package arrived with the bake element and two terminal screws.

It looks like this replacement would fit a number of different models made by GE. The mounting plate has a number of mounting holes to fasten the element to the oven cavity back plane. The leads are shorter and spaced closer together. The part I received did not match the one pictured on this site.

1. Unplug range
2. Open oven door and remove racks by sliding back and lifting out.
3. Loosen and remove the two element mounting screws.
4. At the back of the unit, remove the black cover by loosening and removing three screws, on at the bottom and two at the top.
5. Loosen and remove the two terminal screws and discard them.
6. At the front of the range, lift out and remove the old element. Insert the new element.
7. Position the mounting plate so a pair of mounting holes match the old screw positions on the back plane. Use the old screws to secure the element.
8. At the back of the unit, bend down the leads gently if the lead terminals are not accessible with a screw driver. About 30 degrees.
9. Use the new screws to attach the wire leads to the two terminals.
10 Reattach the black cover using the original screws.
11. Plug in the unit.
12. Test by turning on the bake selector, Open the oven door. Open a window or turn on a vent
13. When the element is cherry red, all the oils used in manufacturing boil off. Turn off the unit. Allow to cool. Reposition the range and it is ready to use.
