How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP2028008 / WB31K5079 Burner Bowl Large

Ordered the correct size drip bowls (All drip bowls have the same outside diameter but different (small, medium or large) inside hole diameters.) Removed 5 knobs by pulling straight up. Removed grate, burner cover, and burner from each of the five burners. Unscrewed two hold down screws from center of each drip bowl. Lifted each drip bowl, pulled wire off the igniter, pushed U-shaped clip off igniter and pulled igniter up thru top of drip bowl, pushed igniter down thru top of new bowl, pushed clip onto igniter. Before replacing the bowls and knobs, lift the glass top off the cooktop. Hold new spark module beside old module and pull off one wire at a time from the old module and press it onto the same terminal of the new module. Use a small socket to remove each screw holding down each end of the old module and screw in the new module. Replace the glass top, press each wire onto each igniter and place each bowl in its glass top hole. Press the glass top sideways to allow all the bowls to fall into place. Insert all the screws loosely into the bowls and slide the glass top again to center bowls. Tighten all screws and replace all knobs, burners, burner covers and grates. 

I was cleaning my cook top and had put the knobs in the water to clean them. I forgot to take one out. Turned on my garbage disposer and you know what happened to that knob. The cook top is 17 years old. Never thought I would find a match. Well, I went to Appliance Parts Pro and a nice guy helped me order. One of my cook top pans was getting scratched from all the cleaning. They had that too and also a new grate. Now my cook top looks like new and spent less than $150.00 I couldn't be more pleased. 

My 10 year old son and I replaced all 4 of them within minutes 

I replaced the burner bowls 

The new burner bowls for my GE cook top were easy to put in by removing the two screws, the clips holding in the igniter, and disconnecting the igniter from the wire (it pulls off and then can be pushed back into the connector on the wire); then, I reassembled. The only tricky bit was the silicone gaskets that there is no replacement for since I had to use the old ones, which were not in good shape. The repair was easy and took about 15 minutes for two bowls. 

Removed grill and burner cap, took off 2 screws, removed connector wire and clip for igniter, and removed bowl. Wiped off crud around opening, discarded old torn up seal. Did not replace seal since not available on web and I don't think it is really needed. Bowl itself seals pretty well along glass surface. Attached igniter, fastened new bowl with the 2 screws, reinstalled burner cap and grill. Took 5 minutes max. 

Changed the Large Burner Bowl out. 

Easy and quick. Two screws per burner. Very happy with 2 day delivery using standard shipping. 

Unscrew the old bowl. Unhook the igniter. The connection pushes in to the bottom of the igniter. Take out the igniter which is held on by a clip. Put it in the new bowl. Reverse steps to reinstall. 

So easy to install. Stovetop looks like new!
