Description
Restore powerful and even top-down heat for broiling with the GE WB44X232 Broil Heating Element. This genuine OEM element is located in the roof of the oven cavity and is typically rated for a strong **3400 Watts at 240 Volts**. Its wide, serpentine coil shape ensures that heat is distributed consistently across the food surface, which is crucial for achieving uniform browning and quick searing results in your GE, Hotpoint, or compatible electric range or wall oven.
Features & Benefits:
- High Wattage: 3400W power rating delivers intense, focused heat for effective broiling.
- Wide Heat Pattern: Multi-loop coil design maximizes coverage across the top of the oven.
- Durable Construction: Made from robust metal sheathing to withstand high broiling temperatures without breaking.
- Easy Installation: Secured by a mounting plate at the rear of the oven cavity and uses push-on spade terminals.
Common Symptoms That Indicate Replacement:
- The broil function fails to heat up, or the element only heats in small, patchy sections.
- The element is visibly cracked, broken, or has signs of shorting or severe blistering.
- Inconsistent browning when using the broiler function.
