General Electric Range JBP85BB2BB Oven is too hot

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 Sensor Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. It contains critical sensors that monitor the oven's temperature, functions, and safety features during the cooking process. An accurate and fully functioning sensor kit is essential for reliable oven performance.

Causes of a bad oven sensor kit can include failures in individual sensors due to prolonged use and heat exposure over time. Electrical issues affecting communication between sensors and the control board may also require sensor replacement.

Symptoms of a bad oven sensor kit include:

• The oven not heating or cooling as expected
• Inability to properly select or maintain temperature settings  
• Error codes or failure messages appearing
• Safety features like the door lock not activating

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