JB740SF2SS General Electric Range - Instructions

First unplug range from electrical outlet!
Removed screws under front edge of stove top, propped it open with long paint stick, pried clips off of the element, unplugged and plugged in new element, push element back into clips, closed top on stove, plug back into socket, tested new burner, put screws back in under top front edge of stove top!!!

Take off 6 screws of back cover of the range, unplug the white wire. Go to the inside of oven, pull out racks. At the top of the oven is your Broiler element, in the center you will see a rod sticking out with one screw holding it in place. Take out screw and pull temperature sensor out toward you. Reverse steps to put it back together.

Remove old stained gasket and replaced with new. Only $57.00!

I took the oven door off. Laid it down on a blanket on the floor. I pulled up on end going into the door, then went around with fingers to feel where the clip were and grab the clip with my fingers and gently pulled up. Then grabbed the new gasket, found the center clip that goes at top of door and started pushing the clips in. The last was feeding the ends back into the slot in the door.

Pulled the range out and unplugged it. Removed the back of the oven covering the control board. (watched a you-tube video of a similar oven to get basics of how to do it). disconnected the wiring connections and transferred them to the new control board as I removed them. Removed the screws (4) holding the brackets that held the control board in place and removed the board. Had to remove the control board covering that identified what the controls were by carefully and slowly pulling it off as to not crack or break it. Pressed it back onto the new control board. Then reversed the process to re-install it. Once it was back in place I replaced the back covering of the range that I had removed. Plugged the range in and tried out the controls to make sure everything worked.

First tried new oven temperature sensor. No change. Ordered new electronic control board, #PS11700839
and new faceplate graphics, #PS8754650.
1. Applied faceplate graphics to control board.
2. Pulled out range, disconnected power and removed
both rear panel screws with 1/4" power nut driver.
3. LEAVING WIRES ATTACHED I removed the six
screws holding the old control board. I then left the
old control board dangling with the wires still
attached.
4. Installed the new control board with the six screws.
5. One by one, I removed a wire from the dangling old
control board to the new control board. Once all
wires were transferred I double-checked my work.
6. Reinstalled both rear panels and plugged in range.
7. Using two accurate oven thermometers I tested
various temperatures and found that the range
oven heated perfectly as per the setting chosen.

This one is simple. unscrew a portion of the door, install the spacer and screw back together. Worked well.

Pulled stove out to access back panel. Unscrew broken switch/stem. Replaced each wire one at a time to make sure they went in right spot. Screw in new switch. Replaced back panel.

As many people have encountered, my oven would not heat but the igniter would be bright orange and glow! Over time, the igniter wears and degrades causing oxidation to the surface. This cause the igniter to fail and operate at a lower current level, below 2.8 amps! Normal igniters operator over 3.0 to 3.1 amps. When is happens, a low current igniter does not have enough input to the control valve to tell the valve to open to allow gas to flow over the igniter to light the oven, thus heat the oven! This has got to be the NUMBER one reason for an oven not heating!

My husband had already removed the back plate form the stove and detached the wires from the old burner switch because it was keeping the burner on. He unscrewed the old switch and removed it. He then popped in the new switch, attached the wires to the correct contacts, and put the back plate back on. We plugged in the stove, and that burner works good as new.

Followed example on YouTube! Very easy.

Unplugged oven, turned off breaker, took cover off back of oven, removed old sensor by disconnecting in back of oven and undoing screw inside oven. Pulled old one out replaced with new took 15min. Cost me less than $20. Parts Select rocks! Even received part in two days with standard shipping!

Once I opened up the back of the range, the sensor wires where there and burnt just like your info said. One nut to take off in the oven and the sensor came right out and the new one went right in. The oven works great, cooked the turkey today. The worst part of the repare was the cleaning behind and under the range, it hasn't moved since it was put in 6 years ago. Very pleased with PS.

verified switch operation , checked continuity of burner element found open ordered new part and installed next day
