General Electric Range JGB920SEC4SS Won't start or doesn't start

The Oven Igniter is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens, designed to ignite the bake igniter to start the heating process. This part is responsible for creating the spark that ignites the gas, providing the heat needed to cook and bake food. Over time, the oven igniter can wear out or become damaged, which can prevent the oven from heating.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Igniter include:

• The oven not heating up at all.
• The oven taking longer than normal to heat.
• Gas smell in the oven due to gas being released without ignition.
• A clicking sound without the oven igniting.

Causes of a bad igniter can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or moisture, or physical damage from impact or mishandling.

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

IMPORTANT: The connector plug may need to be cut off and igniter wires connected to range wires using porcelain wire connectors.

This igniter lights the gas at a burner. Replacing a worn or cracked igniter restores quick, consistent ignition so your gas range or cooktop lights reliably and heats as expected without repeated tries.

• Provides the ignition source to light burner gas when heat is selected
• Supports consistent flame start-up for reliable cooking performance
• Common symptoms include: burner won't ignite, delayed or intermittent ignition, or needing to light manually
• Visual clues can include a cracked insulator or damaged igniter tip/element

• Disconnect power and shut off gas before servicing; allow the appliance to cool completely
• Access the igniter per your model; note wire routing and mounting before removal
• Transfer any reusable mounting clip/grommet from the old part to the new one
• Handle the igniter carefully and avoid touching the element/tip; ensure secure connections and test ignition before reassembly

The Spark Module is an OEM replacement part for GE gas ranges. It is responsible for generating electric sparks to ignite the gas burners on the cooktop. The spark module produces consecutive sparks when a surface burner knob is turned on, which ignite the gas mixture and allows the burner flame to ignite safely and consistently. 

Causes of a bad spark module can include faulty electrodes, worn internal components that hamper sparking, or damage due to moisture intrusion or power surges over time. 

Symptoms of a bad spark module include:

• Burners that will not ignite or only intermittently ignite 
• Flashback or burning above the burner head 
• The smell of gas when turning burners on

This GE replacement part is also compatible with models from Hotpoint, RCA, and certain Kenmore gas ranges. 

The Oven Sensor Assembly is an OEM part for GE ovens. This part monitors the oven's internal temperature, ensuring it matches the set temperature on the oven's controls. By accurately measuring the heat inside the oven, the sensor assembly communicates with the oven's control system to adjust the temperature accordingly. 

Over time, the oven sensor can become faulty due to wear or damage, leading to inaccurate temperature readings. This can manifest as unevenly cooked food, longer cooking times, or an oven that fails to reach the desired temperature setting.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Sensor Assembly include:

• The oven temperature is inconsistent with the setting
• Food is not cooking evenly or as expected
• The oven fails to heat to the set temperature
• Error codes appearing on the oven display related to temperature regulation

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

The Electrode Clip is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. This part secures the electrode, which provides the ignition spark that lights the burners.

Causes of a bad Electrode Clip can include corrosion, physical damage from impact or mishandling, or loosening over time due to heat exposure and repeated use.

Symptoms of a bad Electrode Clip include:

• Failure of the burners or oven to ignite
• Intermittent or inconsistent ignition
• Visible damage or deterioration of the clip itself

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