General Electric Range JSS28DN2BB 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 Infinite Switch (8") is an OEM replacement part for GE stovetops. It is responsible for controlling the heat output of the burner. The switch allows you to adjust the heat level by turning the knob, regulating the amount of power supplied to the burner. A bad infinite switch can be caused by regular wear and tear, electrical issues, or overheating. It can also become damaged if exposed to moisture.

Symptoms of a bad infinite switch include:

• The burner not heating up  
• The burner staying on at the highest heat setting  
• The burner not turning off or not responding 
• Visible signs of damage

Causes of a bad infinite switch can include normal wear and tear over time, exposure to excessive heat or moisture, or electrical malfunctions.

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

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 Range Surface Burner Control Switch is an OEM part for GE ranges. This switch manages the temperature of the surface burners on your range, providing the ability to adjust the heat level. Whether you're simmering sauces or boiling water, the control switch ensures precise temperature management, enhancing your cooking experience.

The causes of a faulty burner control switch often include prolonged use leading to wear on the electrical contacts, exposure to moisture causing short circuits, or physical damage from impact or excessive force when turning the knob. 

Symptoms of a bad surface burner control switch:

• The burner not turning on or off 
• Inability to adjust the heat level, with the burner staying at one temperature regardless of the knob setting.
• Intermittent burner function 

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

The Broiler Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE range. Located inside the oven, it houses the heating elements responsible for the broil cooking function.

Causes of a bad broiler assembly can include cracked or burnt-out heating elements that no longer ignite, damage from accidentally being cleaned with abrasive chemicals, or warping of metal components from overheating.

Symptoms of a bad broiler assembly include:

• Inability to activate or incomplete activation of the broil setting
• Reduced or uneven heating from compromised elements
• Warping or discoloration visible on assembly surfaces
• Presence of unusual odors from potential heating element failures

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