Thequirkycreative for Model Number JBP26W0H2WW Recently replaced the bake element on my old GE oven. Then realized it's getting way too hot after it burned a banana bread to charcoal in 20 minutes. The oven was set at 350. Checked the internal temp with my infrared thermometer and it said 580! Is this oven toast or is there another part I can easily replace?
Answer TheQuirkyCreative, the oven sensor WB21X22134 would need to be tested for resistance. At room temperature, it should measure about 1100 Ohms and increase 2 Ohms for every 1°F that it is warmed up. If the sensor measures properly, the oven control WB27X45466 would be the cause of failure if there is not a grounded wire or element. The wires and element can be tested for continuity when the range power supply is turned off to the frame to see if either have grounded out. Read More...
