JBS55MM4BS General Electric Range - Instructions

One wire at at time then used my razor blade to get front off stuck right back on

Got a new knob.

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

I just removed the drawer and installed the rear supports as instructed on paper included with the part.

popped the new one on!

Pull range away from back wall. Remove panel behind control knobs by removing the screws that hold it on. Find hot burner light that holds lens. Remove broken part of lens. Insert new lens into hole on front of control panel and into hot burner light receptacle. Replace back panel. Slide range back into place.

Using a set of nut drivers, I unscrewed the element from the back of the stove, I unscrewed the thermometer, and unscrewed the brackets holding the element to the top of the oven compartment.

After the element was free, I pulled it out of the back of the oven, exposing the wiring. Using pliers, I disconnected the two wires, retrieved the new element, and re-connected the wires to the new element.

I reconnected the thermometer, pushed the element back into the oven, reattached it to the back of the oven and the brackets to the top of the oven compartment.

Took top of stove off, disconnected the heating element, re-installed the new element and now my stove works fine.

Easy

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!

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.

replaced oven clock control ref maintenance manual, 4 screws and 8 wires. plugged in new control and op checks good.

Remove old, Installed new as per instructions.

Turned the wire protector to the side. Turned out the old bulb and replaced it with the new. Turned the wire protector back in place and I'm like new.
