Parts for Ge JGSS86SP2SS: Upper Oven Parts

The Sensor Assembly is an OEM component specially designed for GE slide-in electric ranges. It contains both the internal temperature sensor, as well as the electronic board that powers the oven convection fan and thermostat functions. 

Causes of a bad sensor assembly can include faulty solder connections, damaged wiring from overheating, or component failure from years of use.

Symptoms of a bad sensor assembly include:  

• Inability to achieve or regulate proper oven cooking temperatures
• Convection fan failing to operate as programmed 
• Unexplained error codes shown on display
• Oven failing to start baking or convection cooking cycles

As a critical safety and performance mechanism, sensor stability ensures accurate temperature monitoring cycle after cycle. This genuine GE replacement sensor assembly facilitates ideal temperature control and airflow – upholding the quality of cooking your appliance was engineered for. Compatible ranges also include select KitchenAid and Monogram wall oven models.

This broil element heats the top of the oven to produce high, direct heat for broiling and browning foods. Replaces a damaged or non-heating upper element to restore broil performance and even cooking on the top rack. What it does:

• Generates the high, direct heat needed for broiling and searing
• Heats when the oven is set to the "Broil" function
• Commonly used when the oven won't broil, the top of food isn't browning, or the element shows visible damage
• Works with the oven's broil control and thermostat to reach and maintain broil temperatures

• 1 broil element (upper oven)

• Disconnect power to the range at the breaker or unplug before servicing
• Handle element and terminals carefully to avoid bending or breaking mounting tabs
• Reconnect wiring exactly as found; if terminals are loose or corroded, replace connectors

The Plunger Switch is an OEM part for GE gas ranges. It is an electro-mechanical component that activates the burners and bake/broil modes when the oven door is securely closed.

Causes of failure include worn contact points, damaged wiring, or defective internal components.  

Symptoms of a bad plunger switch include:

• Inability to select oven cooking functions when door is closed
• Error messages related to unsafe door conditions  
• Random activation of burners with door open 
• Failure of door interlock safety feature

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

This oven back insulation panel fits behind the oven cavity to help contain heat and protect surrounding components. It restores proper thermal shielding so your oven can heat more efficiently and reduces heat transfer to the cabinet. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or missing rear oven insulation to help maintain internal oven temperature and improve cooking consistency.
• Protects wiring, electronics, and exterior cabinet parts from excess heat.
• Can reduce hot spots or higher-than-normal exterior temperatures around the oven.
• Eliminate burning smells caused by insulation deterioration or exposed hot surfaces.

• Disconnect power to the appliance before starting and allow the oven to cool completely.
• Access usually requires removal of the oven back panel or slide-in range rear cover; follow OEM service instructions.
• Handle insulation gently and wear gloves and a dust mask if material is dusty or deteriorated.
• Do not block ventilation openings when reinstalling; ensure panel is seated as OEM intended.

This oven back insulation replaces the rear cavity insulation to help contain heat and improve oven performance. It fits behind the oven liner and restores proper thermal protection for safe, efficient operation. What it does:

• Replaces damaged or missing rear oven insulation that can allow heat loss.
• Helps reduce heat transfer to surrounding cabinetry and components.
• Can improve temperature stability and reduce uneven cooking when insulation is compromised.
• Helps limit hot spots and reduce abnormal smells from overheated cabinet areas.

• One oven back insulation panel (1 piece).

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the appliance to cool completely before service.
• Access typically requires removal of the oven's rear access panel or slide-in range rear cover—keep fasteners in a safe place.
• Wear gloves and eye protection; handle insulation carefully to avoid tearing or compressing the material.
• Reinstall panels and fasteners securely; test oven heating after reassembly.

This oven light gasket fits between the glass lens and the oven liner. It restores a proper seal around the light opening to help keep grease and moisture out of the light cavity and hold the lens securely in place. What it does:

• Seals the joint between the oven light lens and the cavity wall
• Helps prevent grease and moisture from entering the light assembly
• Keeps the lens snug to reduce looseness or rattling
• Replace if the gasket is cracked, flattened, brittle, missing, or if moisture/grease is visible around the lens

• One oven light lens gasket

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove the light lens/retainer as your model requires (unscrew lens or release clips)
• Note gasket orientation and clean the mating surfaces
