General Electric Range JBP23DIR1BB 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 Large Surface Element is an OEM part for GE ranges and cooktops. This part provides the heat needed for cooking on the range's surface. This large element ensures even heat distribution and consistent cooking temperatures, making it ideal for boiling, frying, and other high-heat cooking methods. 

Over time, surface elements can burn out or become less efficient, leading to uneven cooking or failure to heat up at all. This can be due to a variety of reasons, including prolonged use, overheating, or physical damage.

Symptoms of a bad Large Surface Element include:

• The element does not heat up
• It heats unevenly or only partially
• Visible damage to the element, such as blistering or cracks
• The element takes longer than usual to heat up

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

The Oven Broil Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This element is located at the top of the oven cavity and is responsible for broiling, providing high heat for cooking tasks such as searing meats or browning the top of dishes. 

Causes of a bad Oven Broil Element can include prolonged use, leading to eventual wear and tear, exposure to food spills and grease that can corrode or damage the element, and electrical issues that may cause it to fail prematurely.  

Symptoms of a malfunctioning Oven Broil Element include:

• The element not glowing red when the broil function is activated
• Uneven cooking or browning of food
• The oven taking longer than usual to broil
• No heat production when the broil setting is selected

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

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.
