Strl July 04, 2011 for Model Number 79075715893 Turned oven on to "bake". After several minutes noted strong odor of methane. Opened door, and had a "poof" and flash of gas igniting. Saw an orange glow near back. Oven apparentaly was not actually heating as it was cool inside. Can this be the igniter?
1 Answer Hello Strl. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the igniter WB2X9154 is weak and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps. Read More...
John June 16, 2011 I am having the same issue. The Broil works fine but the Bake does not. According to the parts list both igniters (Bake and Broil are the same). Can I install the broiler igniter in the bake area to determine if it is truly the ingiter before I order one?
1 Answer Hello John! The originals to the bake and the broil ignitors have both been discontinued and they now use the same part number WB2X9154. The original parts were different, you may be able to that way however, I would be unable to verify that this will help. You can tell an ignitor is going bad by its color. When on the ignitor should glow a bright white. If it is a dull red/orange it is weak and will need to be replaced. Hope this helps you! Read More...
Lee May 23, 2011 for Model Number JGBS23BEH4BB On my GE Range the burners turn on ok but the oven would not so I replaced the igniter but it seems to not be getting any gas flow. What could be problem?
1 Answer Hello Lee. If you have replaced the igniter, and it still does not get gas, you will need to replace the valve WB19K10044. Hope this helps. Read More...
Danki May 17, 2011 for Model Number jgsp20ger2bg Broil and range top works but wouldn't ignite on bake unless temperature is set to highest like 525 ~ 550 which is maximum temperature. I'm suspecting igniter but I don't even know where it is and how replace it.
1 Answer Hello Danki. Yes, it sounds like the igniter is weak, and will need to be replaced. The igniter is located on the bake burner. You will need to remove the oven bottom and the flame baffle to access the burner and the igniter. Then remove the screws holding the old igniter in place and reinstall with the new igniter in reverse order. Hope this helps. Read More...

1 Answer Hello Iclement. You will need to remove the bottom pan inside the oven to gain access to the burner. Once you have access to the burner, you can remove the screws holding the igniter in place. Hope this helps. Read More...

Ed May 08, 2011 for Model Number JGRP16 How do you install new ignitor for this oven? What do you do with the wires ? Put them in wall?
1 Answer Hello Ed. You will remove the screws holding the old igniter in place and cut the wires to the old igniter. Then splice the new igniter into the wires from the old igniter and use the ceramic wire nuts to secure the wires. Push any extra wire into the back wall of the oven, and reinstall the new igniter. Hope this helps. Read More...

Rich April 12, 2011 for Model Number JGBP24BEH1WH I have a GE oven JGBP24BEH1WH. All burners on stove top work fine. However the bake and broil functions do not work. It was recommended that I may need to replace the oven control assembly. Before doing so I wanted to diagnose further. The clock on the oven works fine. In addition when I push the bake on/off or broil on/off the display works. Would those functions work if I need to replace the oven control assembly as suggested earlier? I noticed the oven light does not work as well.
1 Answer Hello Rich. First make sure you have 240 volts coming to the unit. You can test and see if your getting 240 volts to the element with the clock on. If the relay on the clock is not sending 240 volts to the element, then the clock is bad. Hope this helps. Read More...
