Parts for Ge PP989DN5BB: Control Panel & Cooktop Parts

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

Replace a worn or missing surface burner knob to restore smooth, accurate heat control. This black knob presses onto the surface element switch shaft so you can turn the element on and select cooking temperatures with confidence.

• Attaches to the surface element switch shaft to control On/Off and heat levels
• Replaces knobs that are cracked, stripped, loose, or missing
• Helps when the knob slips, won't stay on, or is hard to set accurately
• Black finish maintains the original appearance

• Turn all controls Off and allow the cooktop to cool before servicing
• Pull the old knob straight off the switch shaft—do not twist or pry the shaft
• Align the new knob with the shaft and press straight on until fully seated
• Verify smooth rotation through the settings before use

The Fan Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE cooktops. Measuring approximately 2 inches by 1 inch, this fan switch serves as a component in activating the downdraft fan. The downdraft fan aids in extracting smoke, steam, and odors, promoting a cleaner and fresher cooking environment.

A malfunctioning Fan Switch can be attributed to electrical issues, wear and tear from regular use, or physical damage. These problems can lead to the downdraft fan not activating, resulting in inadequate ventilation and the accumulation of smoke and odors during cooking.

Symptoms of a bad Fan Switch include:

• The downdraft fan failing to activate, leading to poor ventilation
• Accumulation of smoke and odors during cooking
• The switch being unresponsive or failing to maintain the fan’s operation

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

Color: glossy black. Measures about 1 inch in diameter, and 1 inch deep.

This wire cover protects the terminal wiring on a radiant cooktop element, helping keep connections insulated and routed away from heat and sharp edges for safer, more reliable operation. What it does:

• Shields and insulates element terminal wires from heat and abrasion
• Keeps wires routed securely to reduce strain and prevent loose connections
• Helps prevent shorting or arcing caused by exposed or chafed wiring
• Commonly replaced when wiring is burned, cracked, or displaced
• Supports stable operation of the radiant surface element

• Always disconnect power at the breaker before accessing the cooktop or element
• Handle the glass cooktop and terminals carefully to avoid cracks or injury
• Slide the cover into place over the element terminals and verify wires are fully seated and routed away from hot surfaces
• If terminals, wires, or the cover show heat damage, replace the damaged components rather than reusing them

The 6" Radiant Element In is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. This element provides reliable and even heating across the cooktop surface to heat pans consistently. 

Causes of a failing element can include wear from extended everyday use, buildup of carbon residue on the coils inhibiting heat transfer, or physical damage such as cracks in coils.

Symptoms of a bad element include:

• Slow or incomplete heating of cookware placed above the element
• Temperature inconsistencies causing hot/cold spots on the cooktop  
• The element making a loud popping or cracking noise when in use

This OEM GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and select Kenmore electric ranges.

The Element Radiant 9 Dual is an OEM part for GE cooktops and ranges. It provides the heating surface for cooking and is designed to offer two different heating zones, allowing for versatile temperature control depending on the size of the cookware.

Causes of a bad element radiant can include burnouts from excessive use, damage due to spills or impacts, and electrical issues. A faulty heating element can result in uneven cooking or the element failing to heat up at all.

Symptoms of a bad Element Radiant 9 Dual include:

• The element not heating or only partially heating
• Uneven heating across the surface
• Visible damage or discoloration on the element

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

The Foam Tape is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It serves as a sealant, ensuring a proper fit and preventing the escape of heat and gases from the range. This tape helps maintain the efficiency of the range by providing an airtight seal around various components.

Causes of a bad Foam Tape can include wear and tear over time, exposure to high temperatures, or physical damage during cleaning or maintenance. When the foam tape degrades, it can compromise the range's performance and safety.

Symptoms of a bad Foam Tape include:

• Heat escaping from the range
• Gas odors near the appliance
• Visible wear or gaps in the seal
• Decreased cooking efficiency

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