General Electric Range JGBS23AEW2AA 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.

The Electrode is an OEM part for GE gas cooktops and ranges. This component is responsible for igniting the surface burners. They are also often referred to as spark igniters.

Causes of a bad electrode can include cracks, mineral deposits, or damage accumulated from regular usage over many heating cycles. Heat exposure degrades the material integrity of the tip.

Symptoms of a bad electrode include:

• Surface burners failing to light or ignite when turned on
• The igniter glows but flames do not ignite
• Intermittent or inconsistent ignition of burners
• Visible wear, cracks or corrosion on the electrode tip

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

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 Thermostat is an OEM part for GE ovens. This thermostat is a component in regulating the oven's heat, turning the heat on and off to maintain the desired temperature setting. With its precise calibration and durable construction, the oven thermostat is essential for achieving consistent cooking outcomes and preventing overheating, which could lead to burnt or undercooked food.

Causes of a bad oven thermostat include prolonged use, which can affect its sensitivity, and exposure to extreme temperatures, which may impact its accuracy.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Thermostat include:

• The oven not reaching the set temperature
• Oven temperature fluctuating too widely from the desired setting
• Food not cooking evenly or within expected time frames

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

The Oven Bake Burner is an OEM part for GE gas ovens. It is responsible for providing the heat necessary for baking by distributing an even flame across the oven cavity. This burner tube measures approximately 20" in total length and 6" in height. This burner is compatible with both liquid propane (LP) and natural gas (NG) setups, with the settings determined by the regulator.

Causes of a bad oven bake burner can include wear and tear from frequent use, clogging from food debris or grease, or damage from exposure to high temperatures. A malfunctioning burner can lead to uneven cooking and longer baking times.

Symptoms of a bad Oven Bake Burner include:

• Uneven baking or cooking results
• Weak or no flame when the bake function is activated
• Delayed ignition or clicking sounds without ignition
• Unusual smells or visible damage to the burner

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

This GE Oven Safety Valve is an OEM replacement part for GE ranges. The part's primary function is to prevent gas from releasing until the igniter has received enough voltage to ignite it safely. Not allowing any gas to exit before ignition helps avoid potential safety hazards from uncombusted gas.

Causes for failure could include wear and corrosion over many years of use. Repeated heating and cooling stresses may cause cracking or breaking in the valve's delicate regulating components. Mineral deposits or dirt buildup may also obstruct proper opening and closing.

Symptoms of a faulty safety valve would include:

• gas releasing or leaking even when the igniter is not lit
• the oven or burners not lighting at all when the valve is engaged

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

The Clock is an OEM part for GE ranges. This control panel displays the time and allows users to set and monitor cooking times and temperatures. 

Causes of a bad clock can include electrical malfunctions, power surges, or general wear and tear over time. 

Symptoms of a bad clock include:

• The display being blank or unreadable
• Inaccurate time or timer settings
• The oven not starting or shutting off unexpectedly
• Buttons or touchpad not responding properly

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