General Electric Range JBS15F2CT Element will not heat

The Element Receptacle and Wire Kit is an OEM part for GE ranges and ovens. It serves as a crucial component in connecting the heating element to the power source, ensuring that electricity can flow to the element for heating.

This kit typically includes a receptacle, wires, and possibly other connectors or hardware needed for installation. Proper connection via this kit is essential for the heating element to function correctly and efficiently.

Symptoms of a bad Element Receptacle and Wire Kit include:

• Heating element not heating properly or at all
• Burn marks or corrosion on the receptacle
• Visible damage or wear on the wires
• Intermittent heating, indicating a loose connection

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

The Terminal Block Kit is an OEM replacement part for GE electric ranges. This kit replaces the points of connection delivering power to control circuits and surface coil elements atop the cooktop.  

Causes of failure are prolonged heat cycling which slowly breaks down solder joints and insulator coating on terminals conducting power. Liquids spilled can seep into connection areas over time promoting electrical faults.

Symptoms of a faulty terminal block include:

• Inability to ignite or regulate specific burners   
• Burners that glow intermittently or fail to respond
• Tripped circuit breakers upon use of problematic zones  
• Buzzing or cracking noises from under cooktop areas

This genuine GE kit is also compatible with Hotpoint and RCA electric ranges.

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 Infinite Switch is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. This switch controls the operation of the large heating elements on the cooktop. The element switch is responsible for regulating power delivery to the various heating elements based on temperature and function settings. It allows for precise heating control to maintain optimal cooking temperatures. Over time, element switches can wear down from repeated use and heat exposure.

Causes of a bad switch include burned-out or loose internal connections, damaged terminals, or defects in the electronic components.

Symptoms of a bad element switch include:

• Inability to turn elements on or off
• Elements not heating properly or unexpectedly shutting off
• Inconsistent or fluctuating oven or surface temperatures
• Electronic display or control issues

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