Parts for Ge JP256BM3BB: Control Panel & Cooktop Parts

The Range Radiant Element is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. This 5.5-inch element is situated beneath the glass surface of the electric stovetop. It's designed for tasks that require less surface area but still need quick and even heating, such as simmering sauces or cooking smaller portions of food.

Causes for a malfunctioning Range Radiant Element can include electrical issues like faulty wiring or connections, physical damage from spills or heavy cookware, or wear and tear from regular use.

Symptoms of a bad Range Radiant Element include:

• The element failing to heat up or heating unevenly
• Visible damage such as cracks or burns on the element
• Difficulty in maintaining a consistent temperature

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

This radiant surface element fits a 9-inch dual burner on glass-ceramic cooktops. It restores proper heating and lets you choose inner or full-ring heat, bringing back fast response and even cooking performance when the original element fails.

• Provides radiant heat to the glass cooktop burner area
• Dual design offers two selectable heating zones using inner and outer coils
• Typical failure symptoms: no heat, heats only on one ring, uneven/slow heating, or won't regulate
• Visible breaks or burned areas on the element coil indicate replacement is needed

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift/remove the glass top to access the element; handle glass carefully
• Note wire positions; transfer any mounting brackets/clips from the old element to the new one
• Avoid flexing the element or touching the heating surface with bare hands; verify diameter and terminal layout match the original before reassembly

This infinite switch controls the variable heat output for a cooktop surface burner, restoring adjustable temperature settings for safe, even cooking. Use it to replace a worn or failed burner control. What it does:

• Regulates power delivered to a surface burner so you can set low-to-high heat levels
• Replaces a faulty control that causes burners to stay off or not heat properly
• Addresses symptoms like burners that won't heat, uneven or inconsistent heat, or controls that don't click or respond
• Works with standard slide or rotary knob-operated surface burner circuits

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the breaker before starting any repair.
• Verify the part number and terminal layout match your existing switch before removing the old part.
• Basic hand tools required; access typically involves removing the backguard or cooktop surface.

This infinite switch regulates power to a range or cooktop surface element, letting you adjust heat from low to high. Replacing a worn switch restores smooth, reliable burner temperature control and helps prevent overheating or no-heat issues.

• Varies power to the surface element by cycling on and off based on the knob setting
• Helps deliver the selected heat level from simmer to full boil
• Failure can cause no heat, only high heat, inability to turn off, or erratic heating
• May present with a loose/nonresponsive knob, buzzing/arcing, or a burnt odor at the control

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Pull off the knob and open the control panel to access the switch
• Transfer wires one at a time to the matching terminals on the new switch; mount using existing hardware
• Reassemble, restore power, and test all heat settings on the burner

This seal cushions and seals the refrigerator/freezer lamp assembly to keep condensation and dust out while protecting the lamp. It restores the light housing fit for reliable illumination and a neater interior. What it does:

• Forms a watertight/air-resistant gasket around the lamp housing to reduce moisture and debris intrusion
• Helps keep the lamp assembly securely seated so the bulb and lens stay in place
• Can stop light from leaking into adjacent compartments or behind trim
• Commonly replaced when the seal is cracked, brittle, missing, or allowing moisture buildup around the lamp

• One lamp seal

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off circuit) before servicing any lighting component
• Remove lamp lens/assembly per your model's instructions before replacing the seal
• Inspect surrounding housing for cracks or damage; replace any broken parts to ensure a proper seal
• Use only the specified OEM seal to maintain fit and avoid trimming or forcing parts

This glass and shaft seal assembly replaces a damaged oven door glass seal and the shaft seal that helps keep heat and moisture contained. Restores proper sealing to improve oven performance and reduce heat loss. What it does:

• Seals the gap around the oven door glass and shaft to help contain heat and cooking vapors
• Reduces heat transfer and prevents excess moisture buildup near the door area
• Helps maintain consistent oven temperatures by restoring a proper seal
• Commonly replaced when you see visible wear, cracked/brittle seal, or heat leaking from the door edge

• One glass and shaft seal assembly as shown

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any repair
• Handle glass components carefully to avoid breakage or injury; wear work gloves and eye protection
• Basic hand tools are typically required; follow the appliance service manual for disassembly/reassembly steps

This installation bracket secures and positions appliance components during installation, providing a stable mounting point that helps prevent movement and misalignment for long-term, reliable operation. What it does:

• Provides a secure mounting point to fasten panels or assemblies
• Keeps parts aligned during and after installation to prevent sagging or gaps
• Reduces vibration and rattling caused by loose or improperly supported components
• Helps maintain correct clearances for safe, stable operation

• One installation bracket

• Follow the appliance manufacturer's installation instructions and use only the recommended fasteners
• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) before starting work
• Verify bracket orientation and fit before final tightening; avoid over-torquing
• Wear appropriate safety gear
