There is heat, but not nearrrrrly what it should be
That is what I would do. Be sure to remove the power plug before doing any kind of work on the elements or wiring. If the element is a 'plug-in' device, the repair is simple. But if the element connections are buried in the oven back, it requires more careful work. Hope this helps!
The control panel is flashing F1
The code is: 'failed thermistor control' and the bad part is the 'electronic range control'. Look inside the oven door opening edge for a model number--usually an aluminum plate glued to the surface. Once you find the model number, get on the internet and search (GE mod#, part). If doing your own repair, be sure to remove power by pulling the plug or switching off the appropriate breakers.
Wireing thee wire to four wire,small metal tab
If you have a 3-wire appliance and you are replacing the 3-wire cable with a 4-wire cable, yes, you _must_ remove the metal tab (bonding strap) that is connected from the white wire on the terminal block to the frame.
Connect the black, red, and white wires to the terminal block, then connect the green wire to the frame using the green screw.
Usually the bonding strap stays under the (green) screw without being connected to the terminal block so should someone need to connect it back to a 3-wire cable the bonding strap will be there.
