Melinda September 12, 2013 for Model Number JP989BOD2BB The 9" dual burner only burns on the large outer ring. I understand it could be either the infinity switch or the burner element. Does the stovetop have to be removed from the downdraft and counter to replace either of these parts? I believe the actual part replacement will be easy enough but I don't want to tackle this project myself if the cooktop has to be uninstalled first. Trying to decide whether to call a repair man or attempt myself. Have not determined which part is faulty yet. Thank you for your help.
1 Answer Melinda, Yes the cooktop would have to be removed from the countertop in order to replace the switch or the element. This would also require disconnection of the downdraft. Read More...
Ejr February 17, 2013 for Model Number GE JS966S0D288 The left front duel control switch will turn on the bridge side correctly, however, turning the burner on does not work. I assume this is the control switch which needs replacement. Left front burner used to work occasionally, although rarely. Range came with the house.
1 Answer Hello EJR, You will want to check to make sure that the element has not burnt out but if checks ok then the switch is what would need to be replaced. Read More...
Jordan M December 26, 2012 for Model Number Ge JB940B Y2BB All four of my burners work in the high position but as soon as you turn them down they begin to cycle from high to nothing. You can hear something clicking on and off. I assume this is some kind of protection from runaway heating. I am not sure where to start.
1 Answer Jordan, All electric range infinite switches "cycle" off and on. On older "current sensitive type" switches, there is a bi metal switch that reacts to the amperage and opens and closes(the click noise), the L2 to H2 circuit, based on the heat selection made. The newer e "voltage sensitive" type switches cycle both the L1 to H1 and the L2 to H2 circuits, through the resistor/bi metal. It actually sounds like all's OK. You may want to review the use and care manual, and check the bottom of the pots and pans for smooth even bottoms, so you get an efficient heat transfer to the pot from the burner, for proper, efficient cooking performance and results.

Rick December 24, 2012 for Model Number GE jsp47sh3ss The large dual burner has a small and large heating element. Both elements work well on the highest setting but in the mid range it does not control the temperature . It pops on and off but does not seem to control. Is this the element or the infinite control switch. The other three burners work fine. Also , how do you remove the glass top.
1 Answer Hello Rick, It would appear that this would be the limiter on the element that is causing the unit to cycle on and off continuously. With the limiter being bad you would need to replace the element WB30T10099. Read More...
Ron May 15, 2012 for Model Number JB 960WOB1WW I ordered a replacement dual Infinity switch. The one I received was a different design which also included the new wiring instructions for the original switch A vs new switch B. In the connection coversion chart there is a mismatch in the wire colors. The new wiring directions call for 3 blue wires and I only have 2 (0ne blue and one blue w/ tracer. There is a 3rd blue wire (to indicator light) but it has a mini connector and the new switch has all full size. The part# recieved is WB24T10063. The wires I have are 2- blue (one w/ trace), 1 - purple, 2 - reds, 1 - black. Can you advise the correct connections to connectors P1, P2, S2, 2, 4 and 4a using my wires? Thank you.
1 Answer Hello Ron. In the instructions, it say S2 or 2 will either be blue or yellow. It does not say both. If you use the instructions, you should be able to wire the switch accordingly. If you are still having issues, tell us where each color wire was on the old switch. Read More...
John B. April 07, 2012 for Model Number B960WOB1WW We have a GE B960WOB1WW. The front right dual burner works but has no level control. No matter what the position of the control knob, you either have full on or off. The control of either small or large burner selection does work. Will part #AP3189829 fix this problem? Thanks for the help.
1 Answer Hello John, You are correct, the infinite switch has failed. The model number doesn't come up as valid so if I could get you to repost with the verified model number I can look up the infinite switch for you. Also we need to know the size of the element it controls, 6" or 8" element. Read More...
Heather February 01, 2012 for Model Number JB960BB1BB Is ths the correct switch for the Left Front & Bridge Burner? The bridge burner turns on regardless of which way I turn the knob. It's the knob located the farthest on the left.
1 Answer Hello Heather! Yes, the infinite control switch WB24T10063 is the correct switch. Thanks! Read More...
Brian January 26, 2012 for Model Number JBP79BB1B We have a GE JBP79BB1BB. The front right dual burner works but has no level control. No matter what the position of the control knob, you either have full on or off; nothing else. The control of either small or large burner selection does work. Will part #AP3189829 fix this problem? Thanks for the help.
1 Answer Hi Brian. Quickly you can use a flashlight to look in from the top down onto each burner element "ribbon" and see if there is a open break in it. If not then look at the back of the infinite switch for a bad connection or a burnt spot. You need to test the infinite for 240 vac on small, medium and high settings on H1 and H2 terminals. If you do not have the voltage at all 3 - settings then replace the switch. The infinite switch is part # WB24T10063. Thank You. Read More...
Gibson January 21, 2012 for Model Number JB940wB1ww Right front burner comes on randomly, even when knob is in off position. The on light is constantly lit also. When the burner knob is in the on position and burner will turn red, then black heat up then down. please help. Do I need a new switch ? very dangerous
1 Answer Hello Gibson. Yes, based on the information you provided, it sounds like the infinite control switch WB24T10063 is bad and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
Guest March 21, 2011 GE Model JB940WB1WW I just ordered part number AP3189829 (WB24T10063) as this appeared to be clearly for Dual Burner. Would help if you had pictures of all the #19 switches, or number them differently. Another thing that would be extremely helpful would be the wiring diagram for this switch, as prior switch did not match as far as wire designations for hookup.
1 Answer Hello, unfortunately we are unable to change any diagrams or name parts differently. This is assigned by the manufacturer once they publish the information. We are able to include information on our description of the part as this one states it's a dual element switch.
