Parts for Ge JB640SP2SS: 02 - Cooktop Parts

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 Radiant Stovetop Element is an OEM part for GE electric ranges. It is designed to provide consistent and even heat for cooking. This element sits beneath the glass or ceramic cooktop surface and heats up when electricity flows through it, allowing you to cook food efficiently.

Over time, the radiant stovetop element can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use, power surges, or accidental impact. A faulty element can affect cooking performance and may pose a safety risk.

Symptoms of a bad radiant stovetop element include:

• The element not heating up
• Uneven heating or hot spots
• Visible damage such as cracks or burns
• The element cycling on and off erratically

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

This 12-inch Haliant surface element sits beneath the glass of smooth-top ranges and cooktops, providing heat for the large burner. Replacing a failed element restores reliable, even heating and full-size cooking performance.

• Generates radiant heat for the 12-inch cooking zone under the glass-ceramic top
• Works with the control to cycle power and maintain set temperatures
• Common symptoms: large burner won't heat, only part of the ring glows, or heating is weak/erratic

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the cooktop to cool completely
• Lift or remove the glass top to access the elements; support the top to avoid stress or cracking
• Note wire locations; move connections one at a time to the new element and secure using existing mounts
• Ensure all terminals are tight and clear of the frame before reassembly

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 mounting bracket secures a stove top radiant (coil) cooking element to the cooktop assembly, keeping the element stable and aligned for safe, reliable heating. Replaces a bent, broken or missing mounting bracket. What it does

• Holds the radiant heating element in the correct position under the cooktop surface.
• Prevents element movement or sagging that can cause poor contact or uneven heating.
• Helps maintain safe electrical connections by stabilizing the element terminals.
• Commonly replaced when the bracket is cracked, corroded, or no longer holds the element securely.

• Recommended for technicians or experienced DIYers; disconnect power to the range before starting.
• Requires removal of the cooktop or element to access bracket mounting screws; keep small parts and fasteners organized.
• Inspect surrounding terminals and insulation while servicing; replace any damaged hardware or wiring.
• Use correct replacement bracket orientation and fasteners to ensure a stable fit.

A short 8-32 x 3/8 hex washer head screw used to secure small appliance panels and components. Simple replacement for stripped or missing fasteners to restore proper fit and prevent rattles or loose parts. What it does:

• Secures panels, brackets, and small assemblies in place
• Helps eliminate vibration-related noise from loose parts
• Replaces missing, damaged, or corroded screws to restore proper alignment
• Fits standard 8-32 threaded holes requiring a 3/8" length screw

• One 8-32 x 3/8 hex washer head screw

• Use the correct 8-32 driver to avoid stripping the head
• Tighten snugly but avoid over-torquing to prevent thread damage
• Disconnect power and follow appliance safety procedures before accessing internal components
• Replace only like-for-like fasteners in load-bearing or safety-critical locations

This maintop strike is the small latch plate the cooktop engages with to stay secured and aligned. Replacing a bent or missing strike restores a snug-fitting main top and proper engagement with the latch mechanism.

• Provides the engagement point for the main top's latch mechanism
• Helps keep the cooktop seated and aligned to reduce movement and rattling
• Can correct issues like the top not staying down or visible gaps at the front edge
• Supports proper actuation of any associated latch/safety switch, when applicable

• Disconnect power (and gas, if applicable) and allow the appliance to cool before servicing
• Open/raise the cooktop per the unit's design and support it safely
• Remove the old strike and align the new strike in the same position; reuse existing mounting hardware if applicable
• Tighten fasteners securely and test latch engagement before restoring power

A small replacement cable clip that secures an appliance wiring harness to the cabinet or chassis, helping prevent wire rubbing and vibration. Replacing a broken clip keeps wiring routed and reduces loose, rattling wires. What it does:

• Secures wiring harnesses to the cabinet or chassis to keep wires in place and routed away from moving parts.
• Reduces wire chafing and abrasion that can cause exposed conductors or intermittent connections.
• Helps eliminate rattling noise caused by loose or vibrating wires.
• Keeps harnesses positioned to reduce stress on connectors and wiring runs.

• Always unplug the appliance or shut off power at the breaker before inspecting or replacing wiring hardware.
• Remove the old clip and press the replacement into the same mounting slot or stud until it snaps into place; light tool assistance (small flat screwdriver) can help in tight locations.
• Inspect nearby wiring and connector insulation for damage; repair or replace any frayed wires rather than relying on the clip alone.
