General Electric Range JBP78DD1CC Element will not heat

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 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 Infinite Control Switch is an OEM part for GE ranges. This part controls the temperature of the surface burners by regulating the power sent to the heating elements, allowing for precise heat adjustments during cooking.

Causes of a bad infinite control switch can include electrical issues such as short circuits, wear and tear from regular use, or internal mechanical failures.

Symptoms of a bad infinite control switch include:

• The burner not heating up or getting stuck on one temperature
• Inconsistent or erratic heating
• Difficulty in adjusting the burner temperature
• The burner not turning off or on properly

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

Dual

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.
