Shut off power to the GE oven either by unplugging the power cord or flipping the circuit breaker switch. Let the appliance cool completely if it has been in operation.
Open the door to slide out and remove the two metal racks inside. Now you can reach the back wall of the appliance.
Take out the screws in the metal bracket surrounding the element you want to remove, using a screwdriver.
Grab the two posts where the element inserts in the back wall and pull straight out to disconnect it. You can now remove the part for testing or take it with you to a store for a replacement.
