The Encoder Assembly is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It digitally converts analog knob movements into signals to control the gas valve, igniter, and temperature settings.
Causes of a bad encoder assembly include degradation of internal sensors and switches over time, loose wiring connections, or impacts that cause misalignment.
Symptoms of a bad encoder assembly are:
- Delays or errors when trying to light burners
- Inaccurate flame height and temperature level responses
- Knobs feel sticky, sluggish or jump between settings
- Error codes indicating control module communication issues
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore gas range models.
