Parts for Ge PP989SN3SS: 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

This control knob installs on the burner control valve/switch stem to let you select and adjust heat on your cooktop or range. Replacing a worn knob restores smooth, accurate control and a clean stainless-look appearance. What it does:

• Turns the surface burner control to set and adjust heat
• Replaces cracked, stripped, loose, or missing knobs
• Helps resolve slipping or hard-to-turn operation
• Refreshes the front panel with a stainless-style finish

• One stainless-finish control knob

• Disconnect power and, if applicable, shut off gas before working near controls.
• Pull the old knob straight off the stem; align the new knob with the stem orientation and press straight on.
• Ensure the knob seats fully and turns smoothly; test burner response 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.

The Selector Knob is an OEM part for GE ranges. This knob allows users to select various cooking settings and temperatures by turning it to the desired position on the control panel.

Causes of a bad selector knob can include regular wear and tear, cracks or breaks from excessive force, and damage from heat exposure over time.  

Symptoms of a bad selector knob include:

• The knob not turning smoothly or getting stuck
• Cracks or visible damage on the knob
• Difficulty selecting or changing settings
• The knob coming off easily or not staying securely in place

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

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

Replacement bridge heating element kit that restores consistent heat across two adjacent cooktop terminals for large cookware and griddles. Replaces a damaged or worn bridge element so your cooktop can heat evenly and reliably. What it does:

• Bridges two adjacent surface element terminals to provide an expanded cooking zone for griddles and large pans.
• Heats the cooking surface where a single element can't cover wide cookware.
• Common symptoms it can fix: one side of a bridged zone not heating, intermittent heat, or visible element damage.
• Works as the direct replacement component to restore normal cooktop heating functionality.

• One bridge heating element replacement kit.

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before inspecting or replacing the element.
• Handle element carefully to avoid bending; use basic hand tools and note terminal connections for reassembly.
• Reconnect wiring securely and verify proper operation after restoring power.

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.
