The WS01F02193 Bake Burner is a critical heating element in GE gas ranges that provides the primary heat source for baking and roasting. This genuine OEM burner assembly is designed for GE Cafe, Profile, and standard gas range models, delivering consistent, even heat distribution across your oven cavity.

✓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know if my bake burner needs replacement?
A: Common signs include the oven not heating when set to bake, uneven baking with some areas cooking faster than others, extremely long preheat times (over 20 minutes), the burner not igniting or staying lit, or a weak/uneven flame pattern. If you notice any of these symptoms, the bake burner is likely the problem.

Q: Is this the same part as WB16K10054?
A: Yes! WS01F02193 is the updated part number that replaces WB16K10054 and 183D6342G004. They are functionally identical and will fit the same GE gas range models.

Q: Can I install this myself or do I need a technician?
A: If you're comfortable working with gas appliances, have basic hand tools, and can follow safety procedures (turning off gas and power, checking for leaks), this is a moderate DIY repair. However, because this involves gas connections, many homeowners prefer to hire a qualified appliance technician or licensed gas fitter for safety and peace of mind.

Q: Will this burner fit my GE Cafe or Profile range?
A: This burner fits many GE Cafe and Profile gas range models manufactured between approximately 2009-2020, including the CGS980, EGS980, PCGS910, PGS968, and PGS975 series. Check your range's model number (found on a sticker inside the oven door or on the back panel) against our compatibility list, or call our support team for verification.

Q: What should I do if I smell gas after installation?
A: If you smell gas at any time, immediately turn off the gas supply at the shutoff valve, open windows for ventilation, do not use any electrical switches or create sparks, evacuate the area, and call your gas company or a licensed gas fitter. Never ignore a gas smell – it indicates a dangerous leak that must be addressed immediately.
