General Electric Range JB250DF1BB Element will not heat

The Infinite Switch (8") is an OEM replacement part for GE stovetops. It is responsible for controlling the heat output of the burner. The switch allows you to adjust the heat level by turning the knob, regulating the amount of power supplied to the burner. A bad infinite switch can be caused by regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. It can also become damaged if exposed to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad infinite switch include:

• The burner not heating up  
• The burner staying on at the highest heat setting  
• The burner not turning off or not responding 
• Visible signs of damage

Causes of a bad infinite switch can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Range Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. It contains screw terminals that connect internal wiring throughout the range. The terminal block facilitates safe and reliable power transfer between critical components such as the control panel, heating elements, timers, and temperature sensors.

Causes of a faulty terminal block can include normal wear over time loosening wire connections, water exposure leading to corrosion, or physical damage from force or impact.

Symptoms of a bad terminal block include:

• Intermittent or complete failure of bake, broil, or surface heating elements
• Fault codes or error messages related to electrical malfunctions
• Loose, frayed, or broken wire connections inside the range
• Components like the control panel or timers not operating correctly

This OEM GE part also fits Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore electric ranges.

The Range Surface Burner Control Switch is an OEM part for GE ranges. This switch manages the temperature of the surface burners on your range, providing the ability to adjust the heat level. Whether you're simmering sauces or boiling water, the control switch ensures precise temperature management, enhancing your cooking experience.

The causes of a faulty burner control switch often include prolonged use leading to wear on the electrical contacts, exposure to moisture causing short circuits, or physical damage from impact or excessive force when turning the knob. 

Symptoms of a bad surface burner control switch:

• The burner not turning on or off 
• Inability to adjust the heat level, with the burner staying at one temperature regardless of the knob setting.
• Intermittent burner function 

This OEM GE part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

The Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens, designed to provide the heat necessary for baking. This element is located at the bottom of the oven cavity and heats up when electricity is applied, converting electrical energy into heat to cook food evenly. 

Over time, however, the bake element can wear out or become damaged.

Symptoms of a bad Bake Element include:

• Visible signs of wear or damage, such as blistering, cracks, or breaks in the element.
• A burnt out element that no longer glows red or heats up.
• Food not baking evenly or thoroughly.

This OEM GE part can also be used on Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears appliances. 

The Oven Temperature Sensor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE electric wall ovens. It is responsible for accurately reading the oven's internal temperature to provide precise temperature control and safe operation. Consistent and precise temperature readings are necessary for repeatable cooking results.  

Symptoms of a bad temperature sensor include:

• Inability to reach or maintain set cooking temperatures
• Fluctuating temperatures causing inconsistent results  
• Error codes or fault messages related to temperature regulation
• Potential safety concerns if temperatures run too high or low

Causes of a faulty sensor can be due to failures over extended usage, exposure to high heat cycles, or impedance changes due to dirt or mineral deposits. Precise temperature readings allow for confident cooking.

This OEM GE replacement sensor is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore electric wall oven models. 

The Surface Heating Element is an OEM part for GE ranges. This element is responsible for providing heat on the stovetop, allowing you to cook food efficiently and precisely. It ensures even heat distribution across your cookware, contributing to optimal cooking performance.

Causes of a bad surface heating element can include wear and tear from regular use, damage due to spills or impact, or electrical issues such as short circuits. Over time, these factors can lead to the element malfunctioning or failing to heat up.

Symptoms of a bad surface heating element include:

• Element not heating up or only partially heating
• Uneven heating across the element
• Visible damage or burn marks on the element
• Sparking or unusual noises during operation

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
