WG02F06038 Range Oven Broil Element, 3000W

WG02F06038 Range Oven Broil Element, 3000W

WG02F06038 Range Oven Broil Element, 3000W

The WG02F06038 is a genuine OEM oven broil element for GE, Hotpoint, and RCA electric ranges and wall ovens. This broil element is the upper heating element positioned at the top of the oven cavity that provides direct high-temperature radiant heat for broiling food, creating the intense searing and browning essential for professional-quality broiling results. The element is constructed from heavy-duty metal tubing (typically stainless steel or Incoloy 800 alloy sheath rated for temperatures up to 1200°F) formed in a loop or coiled configuration, containing a high-resistance heating wire (nichrome alloy) embedded in ceramic or magnesium oxide insulation for electrical isolation and efficient heat transfer. The element measures approximately 16-18 inches wide x 14-16 inches deep with mounting brackets on each end and electrical terminals (male spade 1/4-inch terminals) extending through the rear oven wall. The element operates at 240V AC and generates 3000 watts of heat, producing surface temperatures of 500-550°F for effective high-temperature broiling. The broil element mounts to the top of the oven cavity using mounting screws or brackets and connects to the oven's electrical system via wire terminals at the rear. When activated through the oven control (broil mode), electrical current flows through the nichrome heating wire, generating intense radiant heat through electrical resistance. This heat radiates downward onto food placed on the upper oven rack, creating the high-temperature direct heat characteristic of broiling that sears the surface of meats, caramelizes sugars, and creates the distinctive char and crust on broiled foods. The element typically glows bright red-orange when fully heated, reaching maximum temperature within 3-5 minutes of activation. Common failure causes include normal wear from age and thermal cycling (typically 10-15 years lifespan), element burnout from electrical surge or overheating, physical damage from contact with cookware or oven racks, corrosion from moisture or food spills (especially acidic or salty foods), terminal connection failure from arcing or loose connections, blistering or separation of the element sheath from thermal stress, or manufacturing defects. When the broil element fails, symptoms include no heat during broil mode, uneven heating or hot spots (element glows in sections but not completely), visible damage to element (blistering, breaks, or separation in the coil), element not glowing red when activated, burning smell during broil operation, sparking or arcing from element or terminals, circuit breaker tripping when broil mode activated, or error codes on control display indicating broil element failure. The WG02F06038 is a direct-fit replacement that restores full broiling functionality and high-temperature cooking performance. CRITICAL: Always turn off power at the circuit breaker before working on electric ovens to prevent electrical shock from 240V AC. This is a moderate repair requiring removal of oven racks, disconnection of electrical terminals, and careful handling of the element. Test the old element with a multimeter to confirm failure before replacement.
