Parts for Ge JB480SM2SS: Control Panel & Cooktop Parts

This range top and glass assembly replaces a cracked or damaged cooktop surface to restore a smooth, sealed cooking area and proper heat containment. It provides the finished glass surface and surrounding trim for safe top-mounted cooking. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or cracked cooktop glass to eliminate sharp edges and restore a flat cooking surface
• Restores a sealed perimeter so cookware sits evenly and burners heat predictably
• Helps prevent heat and spills from reaching internal components beneath the cooktop
• Useful when the glass is visibly broken, chipped, or loose from the range frame

• One range top and glass assembly

• Disconnect power to the appliance before attempting removal or installation
• Handle the glass carefully; wear cut-resistant gloves and eye protection
• May require removal of burner components and fasteners to lift out the old top; keep hardware organized for reassembly

This infinite switch controls the heat of an electric range or cooktop surface element by cycling power at your selected setting. Replace it to restore precise knob-controlled heating when a burner won't heat, stays on high, or won't shut off.

• Regulates power to a single surface element by cycling on/off to maintain the chosen temperature
• Interfaces with the control knob and the burner's circuit to deliver the selected heat level
• Common failure symptoms: element won't heat, only runs on high, won't turn off, or heats inconsistently
• Knob turning without response or noticeable "clicks" can indicate a worn shaft/contacts in the switch

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; this is a high-voltage component
• Pull off the burner knob and access the control panel; note wire positions or take a photo, then transfer wires to matching terminals on the new switch
• Mount the switch, reassemble, restore power, and test each heat setting

This surface element control switch regulates power to a cooktop/range burner. Replacing a failed switch restores smooth, adjustable heat and corrects issues such as a burner stuck on high, not heating, or cycling erratically.

• Regulates power cycling to the surface burner to achieve the selected heat level
• Provides variable low-to-high settings via the control knob
• Typical failure symptoms: burner won't heat, only heats on high, won't turn off, or heat is inconsistent
• Helps restore precise temperature control on the affected burner

• Disconnect power by unplugging the appliance or switching off the circuit breaker
• Pull off the burner knob and open the control panel to access the switch
• Note wire positions and transfer them to the new switch one at a time
• Secure the switch, reassemble the panel/knob, and test all heat settings

This pilot indicator light mounts in the control panel and illuminates to show when a surface element or another heating circuit is powered. Replace a burned-out or stuck-on light to restore a clear, reliable power-on warning.

• Lights when the corresponding heating circuit is energized
• Alerts users that heating components are active
• Common symptoms: light does not turn on, stays on constantly, flickers, or is very dim
• Shows physical damage to the lens or terminals when failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Remove the backguard or control panel cover to access the indicator light from behind
• Note wire positions; move connectors to the new light one at a time and secure the light in the panel
• Restore power and test operation before reassembly

• Route and secure the harness away from heat sources and moving parts

Designed for the self-clean cycle, this thermostat monitors oven temperature and opens the circuit if overheating occurs to protect your range. Replace it to restore reliable self-clean performance and safety shutoff when the original thermostat fails. What it does:

• Monitors oven cavity temperature during the Self Clean cycle and opens the circuit if temperatures become excessive
• Protects the appliance by interrupting power to the heating circuit when an over-temperature condition is detected
• If faulty, you may notice Self Clean won't start or ends early, over-temperature error/beep codes, or no heat after a self-clean event
• Dedicated to self-clean safety; it does not regulate everyday baking temperatures

• 1 self-clean thermostat

• Disconnect power at the breaker; for gas models, also shut off the gas supply
• Allow the oven to cool completely—surfaces may remain extremely hot after a self-clean cycle
• Access and mounting vary by model; note wire positions and transfer them one at a time to the new thermostat
• Inspect wiring/terminals for heat damage and replace any burnt connectors before reassembly

This carton cover thermostat senses and controls temperature at the refrigerator/freezer carton cover to help maintain proper cooling function. It replaces a failed or intermittent thermostat to restore correct temperature regulation. What it does:

• Detects temperature near the carton cover and signals the control to start or stop cooling
• Helps prevent over-cooling or under-cooling in the compartment when functioning correctly
• Commonly diagnosed when temperature is inconsistent, compartment is too warm, or cooling cycles irregularly
• Matches the OEM mounting and connector style for direct replacement

• Disconnect power to the appliance before servicing to avoid electrical shock
• Access usually requires removing interior panels or the carton cover; keep fasteners for reassembly
• Handle the thermostat and sensor lead carefully to avoid damage; route wires clear of moving parts

The Radiant Element Spring is an OEM part for GE electric ranges. This spring supports the radiant element coil and provides the necessary tension to allow the coil to glow red-hot during the cooking process.

Causes of a bad spring can include fatigue from repeated heating and cooling cycles, damage due to impact or mishandling, or corrosion over extended use.

Symptoms of a bad radiant element spring include:

• Radiant element coil sagging or not sitting flush
• Element coil not heating properly or heating unevenly
• Excessive heat and energy use from a misaligned coil
• Element mounting brackets becoming loose over time

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

This left-side end support secures and aligns the outer trim on compatible appliances, providing a finished look and stable panel fit in Dark Dorian Gray. It restores proper bezel alignment and reduces movement or gaps. What it does:

• Supports and positions the outer trim/panel at the left end to keep panels aligned
• Holds the bezel securely to prevent rattling or loose edges
