Parts for Ge PCB980SJ5SS: Control Panel Parts

The control panel End Plate (Left) is an OEM part for GE electric ranges. It forms a barrier along the back left edge of the control panel area providing structural reinforcement and protection.

Over time, end plates can sustain damage due to normal wear and tear of using range buttons/dials daily as well as impacts from accidental bumps. Causes may include operation fatigue plus occasional mishandling.   

Causes of a bad end plate include:

• Dents, scratches or cracks in the protective barrier surface
• Loosened mounting fasteners holding it securely  
• Reduced control panel integrity and rigidity over long use
• Exposure of fragile internal electronics to potential damage

This exact GE replacement part also fits Hotpoint, RCA and select Kenmore models.

Symptoms of a bad rotary switch include:

• Inability to select desired oven functions
• Switch getting stuck or failing to rotate properly
• Displays not accurately reflecting selected function
• Intermittent or unreliable operation of oven

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

The Surface Burner Switch is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops, designed to control the heat level of the surface burners. This switch allows users to adjust the temperature of the burners for boiling, simmering, or frying. 

Causes for replacement may include electrical issues within the switch, physical damage, or wear and tear from regular use. A faulty switch can lead to cooking frustrations, potential safety hazards due to uncontrolled heat, and increased energy consumption.

Symptoms of a bad Surface Burner Switch include:

• Burner not heating to the set level
• Burner heating inconsistently or not at all
• The switch feeling loose or failing to click into position

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

A stainless infinite knob that replaces a worn or broken range or oven control knob, restoring smooth selection of heat/power settings and a clean stainless look for your appliance controls. What it does:

• Fits onto the stove/range infinite control shaft to set burner or oven power levels.
