Parts for Ge JGS968BH4BB: 08 - Cooling Fan Parts

This blower assembly circulates air through the appliance to support drying and venting, restoring proper airflow for consistent performance. It replaces a worn or damaged fan wheel and housing to reduce overheating and poor drying. What it does:

• Moves air through the appliance to aid drying and ventilation
• Restores airflow lost from cracked, warped, or broken blower wheel
• Helps eliminate overheating, long-dry times, or reduced airflow
• Works with the motor and ducting to maintain proper exhaust flow

• One blower assembly

• Disconnect power before servicing to avoid shock or injury
• Inspect motor shaft and mounting before installing; replace any damaged hardware
• Ensure blower is oriented and secured per manufacturer alignment to prevent noise or imbalance
• Verify clear, unrestricted ducting after installation for proper performance

This thermal cutoff (runaway) is a temperature-safety device that stops the dryer's heating circuit if temperatures exceed safe limits, helping prevent overheating and potential fire hazards. Replaces a failed or tripped runaway TCO in dryer heating assemblies. What it does:

• Opens the heating circuit if the dryer temperature climbs above safe thresholds to stop further heating.
• Prevents uncontrolled heating when other thermostats or controls fail.
• Common symptom: dryer overheats or element stays energized; may also result in no heat if the cutoff is open.
• Works with the dryer's existing thermostats and heating element assembly as a safety interlock.

• One thermal cutoff (runaway) device.

• Disconnect all power before accessing the dryer heating assembly.
• Locate and replace the TCO on or near the heater housing; keep wiring orientation the same.
• Do not bypass or defeat safety devices; After replacement, inspect other thermostats, fuses, and the heating element for related faults.

Approx 2-1/2 inches in diameter

This limit switch interrupts power to a heating circuit when an over-temperature or unsafe condition is detected, helping prevent damage and unsafe operation. It's a direct-replacement safety control for affected appliances. What it does:

• Opens the circuit to stop heating when a temperature limit or fault condition is reached.
• Prevents overheating that can cause component damage or unsafe operation.
• Can cause no-heat, intermittent heating, or cycling behavior when failed.
• Works as a safety shutoff in heating systems and related control circuits.

• Disconnect power (unplug or shut off breaker) before accessing or replacing the switch.
• Access usually requires removing a panel or control housing; keep track of fasteners and wire locations.
• Handle terminals carefully and reconnect exactly as found; confirm secure wire connections.

The Hi-Limit Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It is a safety component responsible for monitoring internal oven temperatures. The hi-limit switch helps prevent overheating by detecting when excessive heat has built up inside the oven cavity. It will automatically cut power to the bake/broil elements if temperatures rise too high.

Causes of a bad hi limit switch can include normal failure after years of exposure to heat, or issues with the electronic components or calibration.

Symptoms of a bad hi-limit switch include:

• The oven failing to heat up or bake/broil food properly
• Frequent thermal cut outs requiring the oven to be unplugged
• Delays in the oven reaching the set temperature
• Oven will not turn on

This is a genuine OEM part that works for some models of GE, and Hotpoint models.

This replacement mounting screw is used in cooking appliances to fasten components securely. It restores a tight, rattle-free fit so panels, brackets, or burner-related parts stay properly aligned during everyday use.

• Secures appliance components to the chassis or assembly
• Replaces a missing, stripped, or corroded screw
• Helps resolve loose panels, wobbling parts, or vibration noises
• Supports proper alignment of mounted parts

• Disconnect power at the breaker; for gas units, also shut off gas supply
• Allow the appliance to cool completely before servicing
• Use the correct driver; start threads by hand to avoid cross-threading
• Tighten snugly without overtightening; replace damaged threads or hardware as needed
