The broil element is located at the top of the oven and gives off heat in order to bake evenly. If you notice that the element is not heating up or is not cooking evenly it could be because it is broken or burnt out. The depth of the screw-on terminals is 2-3/4 inches and they are 1-1/4 inches apart. Does not include mounting bracket. All you need for this simple repair is small screwdriver. To complete this repair, you will need to first turn the oven off (or shut off the house circuit breaker), remove the two screws that are holding the old element in place, remove the two wires from the old part, and then connect them to the new part and screw back into place.
How Buying OEM Parts Can Save You Time and Money
Troubleshooting
This part fixes the following symptoms:
Little to no heat when broiling | Element will not heat | Little to no heat when baking | Oven not heating evenly

Easy to order came in three days.
Part was boxed so as to not get damaged in shipping, it was an exact match to the old one. And most of all I cant believe that the part was available for my 1983 oven.

Quick and easy
The part was exactly correct and went in without a hassle. Why should I ever pay for a repair person again. As long as I know how to use a screwdriver and a few minor tools, I'll never pay for repairs again and will get a great deal of satisfaction doing it!

Easy repair for younger people a little difficult fo seniors 80+
Part arrived on schedule. Installation was a little difficult due to the age of the installer. A younger person would have done it in half the time. Over all we are very pleased.

Replacement broil element.
It’s silvery grey, a sort of ‘c’ shape and when you run electricity through it, you can broil food with it.

Burned out heating elements
Repair went well. Intent of this submission is to give PartSelect a pat on the back. Diagrams of parts on their website made it easy to identify which parts were required. Order arrived promptly, ordered Tuesday night, arrived Friday. Good Job!
Piece of cake to repair. I took both both heating elements off. I sprayed oven cleaner everywhere to soften the grime. I waited 10 minutes and wiped up the softened baking grime. Installation took 5 minutes for each element and about 15 minutes to clean the oven while both elements were removed.
Turned power off to oven. Unscrewed back plate exposing wires connected to heating element. It was difficult to unscrew the connections between them as it was hard to reach in because the oven door was in the way, but i finally succeeded. Unscrewed the bracket holding the burned out element and then attached the wires to the new element.

When the broiling element wires slip back into the back of the oven ( this is a wall oven ) how do you retreave the wires to connect the broiling element?
For model number RJ734GP1
Hi James,
Thank you for your question. You would have to remove your appliance from the wall to be able to get to the wires and push them back through the opening. Good luck with your repair.

I have an older model GE double wall unit (~1980). The bottom heating element in both ovens is out. These elements have a different shape than the broiler unit at the top and the terminals are approximately 1 " apart. Do you have the parts, the lower heating element, for this model oven?

I have a GE range that i need to replace the top broiler element. If you need the serial number is vl279256g. On another part site i was given part #ap2031021. The rep researched part number to make sure before we ordered and said it was not a match. Can you help with the correct number for this part. The appliance does date back to 1983. It was in the home we purchased.
