Genuine OEM WB44K5013 Oven Bake Element
The Genuine OEM GE WB44K5013 is the bake element for select GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore electric wall ovens and ranges. It heats the oven interior during baking cycles by converting electrical energy into heat. When the element fails, the oven may heat unevenly, heat poorly or not heat at all in bake mode.
This is the original GE part, not an aftermarket equivalent. It is sold individually. Check your model number before ordering, because GE uses several bake elements that look similar but have different part numbers.

Installation Notes
⚠️ Disconnect Power And Let The Oven Cool Unplug the range or turn off its circuit breaker, and make sure the oven is completely cool before you start. Wear work gloves. Remove the element's mounting screws, pull the element forward carefully and disconnect its wires, then connect the new element and secure it. If the oven still won't heat, the cause may be the oven control, temperature sensor or wiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
My oven won't heat when baking. Is the element the fix?
Often. A failed bake element is a common cause, and a burned or blistered element is a good sign. If the element looks fine, the temperature sensor, oven control or wiring may be the cause.
Is this an OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a genuine OEM part from GE, not an aftermarket equivalent.
Is this the same as WB44K5008 or WB44K5010?
Retailers list WB44K5008 and WB44K5010 as earlier numbers this element replaces. If your old element shows one of them, this should be the replacement, but check your model number to be sure.
Will this fit my oven?
It is listed for many GE, Hotpoint and Kenmore electric ovens, but the model list above is only a sample. Check your full model number against your parts diagram, or contact our support team and we'll verify it before you order.
