General Electric Range JBS15H1BB 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 Surface Element is an OEM part for GE ranges. This part provides the heat required for cooking on the cooktop. The surface element heats up when activated by the control knobs, allowing for precise temperature control to cook a variety of dishes effectively. 8" Surface Element for receptacle order WB17T10006

Common causes of a bad surface element include wear and tear from frequent use, overheating, or physical damage from cookware. 

Symptoms of a bad surface element include:

• The element not heating up or heating unevenly
• Visible damage, such as burns or cracks on the element
• The element taking longer than usual to heat up
• Intermittent heating or failure to maintain the set temperature

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

This surface element is the electric heating source for one cooktop burner. Replacing a failed element restores fast, even heat and dependable temperature control on your electric range or cooktop.

• Supplies heat to the selected surface burner when power is applied
• Restores consistent heating and proper cycling after element failure
• Common symptoms: burner won't heat, heats intermittently, or shows visible damage/hot spots
• Often tests open with a meter when failed

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; allow the unit to cool completely
• Protect the cooktop surface; follow your service manual for access to the element
• Note wire positions; transfer wires to the same terminals and reuse existing mounting hardware
• Handle by the frame only; avoid touching the element surface. Reassemble and test operation
