How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP4484324 / WB27T11229 Faceplate

Board Housing WB27T11161 Faceplate WB27T11229 Control Panel WB36T11246 

Purchased the following parts: AP4484499 - Panel and Bracket AP4484272 - Board Housing AP4484324 - Faceplate The original 752 screws DO NOT work for the retrofit. You will need the newer 752 screws (AP4380294) x6 or similar to attach the Board Housing to the Panel and Bracket. Also used some double sided sticky tape to reattach the GE emblem. 

I retrofitted the unit to the 9.5" since the 17.5" is discontinued due to faulty design. I used parts AP4484272, AP4484324, AP4484499, 6 of AP4380294, AP3993470. It was simple. It looks incredible! Works Perfect! -Tommy Lentsch www.TommyLentsch.com 

I have the un retro fitted 17.5” face plate. I affixed this 9.4” overlay over the existing control buttons. Works perfectly. No need to purchase anything else. 

New part was peel and stick over existing 

Ordered the 3 parts from AppliancePartsPros.com (Cheaper than Sears). Received in about 4 days. Installation under an hour. Works/Looks perfect. 

Looked for a replacement overlay for the GE model and found one that matched the model number. I ordered and although it was not as long as the control panel it did cover all the push button settings and clock window. The GE wall oven is 15 years old and the only issue was the thin plastic overlay that was put on these ovens by GE. The oven works great but the control panel is a different story, the oven control panel has been replaced three times in 15 years. 

Got the replacement faceplate ( nothing but a peal and stick faceplate). Cleaned the oven face and removed any old adhesive from the buttons. Peel the backing and stick the faceplate. It looked ok on an older oven ( which is not retrofitted ). Not an exact replacement part but does the job. The buttons align 90%. Cheaper and easy fix if you can compromise the end result a bit. 

This sticker was not the size that I needed, but they don't make the 17". It still fit over the buttons perfectly and did the job. I didn't realize the size difference when ordering since it looked exactly the same. 

I called appliance Parts pro and they said the replacement part was no longer available but there was a retrofit part to fix the problem. The staff at APP help me get the retrofit parts. Installation was very easy. I took some pictures of the old wiring, really didn't need to cause everything was color coded. Saved so much doing it myself. Highly recommend APP. I posted the site in my office since we do plumbing and many times we are asked to fix appliances. Thanks again to everyone.
