The Bumper is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens and ranges. It is designed to cushion and protect the oven door or cooktop when it is opened or closed, preventing direct contact between components. This small yet crucial part helps reduce noise and wear by absorbing impact during regular use.
Over time, bumpers can wear out, deteriorate, or become dislodged due to frequent use or exposure to heat and cleaning agents. A damaged or missing bumper can lead to increased noise and potential wear on adjoining parts.
Symptoms of a bad or missing bumper include:
- Increased noise when the oven door or cooktop is opened or closed
- Visible wear or marks on the surfaces that contact the bumper
- The door or cooktop not aligning properly during use
- Missing or deformed bumper
This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
