# GE oven element replacement

What this involves

Cooktop working narrows it to the oven circuit

Element, sensor and relay are three different prices

Visible damage is not always the whole story

Confirm the circuit, not just the symptom

Both elements tested — bake and broil — because one working and one not is itself the diagnosis.

Measure rather than look

An element that has failed without a visible break is common, and a visible break is not always what stopped the heat.

Check the sensor and the relay

An oven that heats then quits, or overshoots, is a sensor or control story rather than an element one.

Fit and measure the recovery

Time to temperature and stability at it, against the setting, before we leave.

Time to temperature, measured

And stability once it arrives, against the setting. An oven that reaches temperature and cannot hold it has a different problem from one that never arrives.
