Parts for Ge PB970SP4SS: 03 - Upper Oven Parts

The Lamp Halogen is an OEM part for GE ovens. It illuminates the oven interior, allowing you to clearly see the food while it cooks. This light is particularly useful for monitoring the progress of your baking or roasting without opening the oven door and losing heat.

Causes of a bad halogen lamp can include regular wear and tear, electrical surges, or damage from high temperatures. Over time, the filament within the halogen lamp can degrade, leading to a loss of illumination.

Symptoms of a bad halogen lamp include:

• The oven light not turning on
• Flickering light inside the oven
• Dim illumination that affects visibility
• The light bulb appearing dark or burned out

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

This oven rack is a replacement chrome wire shelf that supports cookware and bakeware inside the oven, restoring proper airflow and cooking position. It slides into the oven's rack rails and provides a stable surface for pans and trays. What it does

• Replaces a missing, bent, or damaged oven rack so cookware sits level during baking and roasting
• Restores proper rack spacing and airflow for even cooking
• Allows trays and pans to slide in and out smoothly when rack rails are intact
• Helps prevent cookware from tipping or sliding during use

• One chrome oven rack

• No tools typically required; slide rack into the oven's existing rack guides until it seats securely
• Inspect rack rails for damage or buildup and clean before installing to ensure smooth operation
• Use oven mitts or heat-resistant gloves when removing or installing racks in a hot oven
• Do not modify the rack; replace if bent or warped

This bake element is the lower oven heating element that produces the heat needed for bake cycles, restoring oven temperature and consistent cooking performance when the original element is damaged or not heating. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during bake cycles to maintain set temperatures for baking and roasting.
• Restores heating when a burned, broken or visibly damaged element causes little or no heat.
• Helps correct uneven cooking or longer-than-normal preheat times when caused by a faulty element.
• Direct-fit replacement designed to mount in the oven's lower cavity and connect to existing wiring.

• Disconnect power to the appliance at the circuit breaker before starting any work.
• Allow the oven to cool completely and remove oven racks before accessing the element.
• Replace the element mounting screws and wire terminals exactly as removed; ensure tight, secure connections.

A replacement broil shield that protects the oven cavity and surrounding components from direct broil heat. Restores proper heat deflection for safer, more consistent broiling and helps prevent heat damage to insulation and wiring. What it does:

• Shields the oven back and upper cavity from direct broil flame and radiant heat
• Helps maintain even broiling by directing heat away from sensitive components
• Reduces risk of heat damage to insulation, wiring, and control compartments
• Minimizes food drips and splatter reaching internal oven parts during broiling

• Disconnect power (and gas if applicable) before beginning any repair
• Remove oven racks and broil element access panels as needed to reach the shield
• Handle part carefully; edges may be sharp—wear gloves and eye protection
• Follow OEM instructions and torque guidelines when reinstalling panels and fasteners

The Temperature Sensor is an OEM part for GE ovens. It plays a role in monitoring and regulating the oven's internal temperature, ensuring accurate heating and cooking performance. This sensor works by detecting the temperature inside the oven cavity and communicating with the main control board to maintain the set temperature throughout the cooking process.

Causes of a bad Temperature Sensor can include exposure to extreme temperatures leading to sensor failure, wear and tear over time, or damage from oven cleaning agents or spills that may affect its functionality.

Symptoms of a bad Temperature Sensor include:

• Oven not reaching the set temperature.
• Overheating or underheating, leading to unevenly cooked food.
• Frequent error messages from the oven's electronic control.

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

The Oven Lamp Holder is an OEM part for GE ovens. This component securely holds the oven light bulb in place, ensuring proper illumination inside the oven cavity for better visibility during cooking and baking.

Causes of a bad lamp holder can include repeated exposure to high temperatures, physical damage, or electrical issues. A malfunctioning lamp holder can lead to the oven light not functioning correctly or at all.

Symptoms of a bad oven lamp holder include:

• The oven light not turning on
• Flickering or intermittent operation of the light
• Visible damage or corrosion to the lamp holder
• The light bulb not staying securely in place

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