Description
Restore the top heating function of your oven with the **GE WB44K5009 Broil Heating Element**. This essential OEM-style component is located at the top of the oven cavity and is rated for 240 Volts and 3400 Watts. It is responsible for generating the intense, direct heat needed for broiling, searing, and toasting. If your oven's broil function is not working, or if the element is visibly broken or damaged (blistered, bubbling, or cracked), replacing it with this genuine part will ensure even heat distribution and reliable broiling performance.
