# How to Remove a GE Oven Heater Element
GE electric ovens contain two heater elements, one at the top for broiling and another at the bottom. Each element is permanently attached to a rectangular metal support bracket with two terminals that connect to the back of the appliance. As with any brand of oven, the GE oven's heater element may eventually wear out and stop heating. Remove the part and take it with you to an appliance store or repair shop to find the correct replacement.
