Need bake element for old GE wall oven model (looks like) ZW0396I or last digit could be 1 not sure?

SOURCE: GE Electric wall oven

Hi there,

Not sure I can help you but will certainly try. Certainly sounds like the heating element - if not possibly a blow fuse. If you have a tester as in a light tester or proper electrical tester you should be able to turn the element on and test to see if it is getting power. If it isn't it may well be a fuse in the wiring. A lot of ovens these days do not have fuses and rely on the mains having a Safety Switch. Taking this into account I would say it is the element which you will need to remove so you can obtain a new one. With elements on most ovens you have to remove them from inside the oven and sometimes have to remove the back panelling to get to the wires to disconnect them. When you do make sure the power is turned off. Hope this helps.

Regards
Bryan

I honestly believe you are right. you should be able to wiggle it back and forth and pull it out.

SOURCE: broiler element comes on when "bake" is pressed

does the bake element come on at all?
if so, try the oven out. do a bake @ 350 allow it to pre-heat, and see if once the pre-heat is comlete, id the broil shuts off.
on many ovens at the beginning of the cycle during pre-heat both bake and broil elements are powered.

other than that it may be a control board, or a burnt and crossed wire in the harness.
