I am trying to replace a damaged broiler (upper) element in my GE JBP68SHSS Electtric Range. I have taken out the damaged broiler element and replaced it with a new one, but I am unsure of what to do with the middle wire that is connected to a prong-like attachment. Can you advise me? Thanks
SOURCE: replace broiler element
Heater elements don't have any colors on the terminals. They will work any way you connect them.
In general, wires are always connected to wires of the same color.
I am concerned that you may be doing something other than replacing the broiler element. If so, it is very important to return the machine to the way you found it. If you can't remember what that was, you should call a professional repair technician.
Good luck!

Hi Jeff. You should have a wiring diagram with the range. Check for an envelope on the back of the range, inside the back splash, or taped to the inside side wall of the range if you remove the lower drawer. That all being said, first check to see if the start or stop time knobs on the timer have been pushed in (and possibly turned). If the clock runs, it will clear this out within 12 hours, but on these old ranges often times the clock no longer runs. Make sure these knobs are turned until they have "popped" out or you won't get the necessary voltage where you need it. Secondly, when a bake element burns out, it can cause damage to the electrical contacts in the oven selector switch (part number WB22X5122 ) which can be tested with an ohm meter if you can find the electrical diagram. Also, the oven thermostat (part number WB21X5320 ) can be damaged in the same way. Unfortunately, these parts for these old units are not very cheap.
The little bit of heat you are getting in your oven now is most likely only from the 120 volts going to the broiler element when in Bake. During Bake, your bake element should get 240 volts (until thermostat is satisfied). Setting to Broil should give 240 to the broil element.

I would be looking at the bake relay on teh coven control board. Using a voltage meter test the output voltage when energizing the bake feature. Be sure to remove the bake element wire coming from the bake element to the control. Test this terminal without the bake element wire attached. From the terminal with one meter probe to the neutral on the terminal block (where your cord attaches to), you should read 110 volts when energized and 0 voltge when shut off. What are you reading? If I can help further, I am here.....
Waiting to hear from you,

Hi RCutwright, I want to help you with your question, but I need more information from you. Can you please add details in the comment box?
It should have only 2 wires Where was the third wire connected . The element has only 2 connectionshttps://www.partselect.com/PS249284-GE-W...
