General Electric Range JDP36BD2CT Element will not heat

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 Oven Bake Element is an OEM part for GE ovens. This element is located at the bottom of the oven and is primarily responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking. When the oven is turned on, electricity flows through the element, causing it to heat up and glow red-hot. This bake element has ¼” push-on wire terminals. If you are unable to use your old wire connectors, order TJMA02875-1.

Symptoms of a failing oven bake element include:

• Oven not heating up properly or taking longer to heat
• Uneven cooking or baking
• Element not glowing or only partially glowing during operation
• Visible signs of blistering, cracks, or holes on the element

Causes of oven bake element failure typically include general wear and tear from regular use, exposure to high temperatures which can weaken the element over time, or electrical issues such as short circuits.

This GE replacement 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.
