Hi Edwin,
They might be simple but I just realized there are THREE (not two) ends to
the GE Spectra JBP24B0B4 upper broil heating element WB44T10009.

See this picture please

QUESTION: What is the purpose of that THIRD end of the heating element?

Do the two 120 volt hot wires go to the two ends while the neutral goes to
that third end of the broiling element loop???
