Parts for Ge JK5500DF2BB: Upper Oven Parts

This high limit switch is the temperature safety cut-out for your appliance. It monitors heat and opens the circuit if temperatures rise too high—helping protect components and prevent shutdowns caused by overheating.

• Monitors temperature at a critical location and interrupts power if limits are exceeded
• Helps protect internal components from heat damage
• Can help address: unit won't power on, shuts off during use, or runs without heating
• Replace if it remains open (no continuity) when cool or shows visible damage

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing; never work on a live appliance
• If servicing a microwave, be aware the high-voltage capacitor can retain a dangerous charge
• Note wire positions and transfer leads one at a time; mount the switch securely in the original location
• Do not bypass a safety switch; also correct any airflow/ventilation issues that may have caused overheating

The Oven Rack is an OEM component specifically designed for GE wall ovens and ranges. As an essential cooking accessory, the oven rack provides an elevated surface for baking multiple food items simultaneously. It enables maximized use of available oven space.  

Causes of a bad oven rack can include warping or bending from years of heavy cooking loads, broken rack support clips, or scratches and pitting from harsh cleaning chemicals.

Symptoms of a bad oven rack include:

• Uneven baking/cooking results from rack instability  
• Improper rack level or tilting during use
• Difficulty removing or installing the rack due to damage
• Safety hazards from a severely warped or weakened rack

This genuine GE replacement is built with a heavy-duty steel gauge and reinforced edges to retain stability cycle after cycle. Compatible oven brands also include Monogram, Maytag, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore models.
 

This hidden bake element kit replaces the oven's concealed heating element to restore even baking and proper temperature. It fits under the oven floor and reconnects to the existing terminals for normal bake operation. What it does:

• Heats the oven cavity during bake cycles to produce consistent cooking temperatures
• Restores heating when a damaged or open element causes weak or no bake heat
• Helps eliminate uneven baking or long preheat times associated with a failed element
• Provides the concealed element used in many full-size electric ranges

• Disconnect power to the range before starting any repair to avoid shock hazard
• Access typically requires removing the oven bottom panel or lower compartment; keep fasteners and insulation in place as removed
• Inspect wiring and terminal connections for heat damage and replace any compromised parts

This broil element is the replacement heating element for the oven's upper/broil function, restoring direct top-heat for broiling and finishing dishes. Fits common GE ovens that use this OEM-style element. What it does:

• Replaces a broken, burned-out, or non-heating broil element.
• Helps restore even broiling when the oven fails to reach or maintain broil temperatures.
• Compatible with ovens that use a concealed or exposed upper broil element design.

• 1 broil element

• Disconnect power at the breaker or fuse box before starting any repair.
• Remove oven racks and back panel/insulation as needed to access mounting screws and wire terminals.
• Note terminal locations and wiring before disconnecting; take a photo for reference.
• Use proper strain relief on wires and tighten mounting hardware securely; test function after reassembly.

The Sensor Assembly is an OEM replacement part for GE ovens and ranges. It monitors and regulates the temperature inside the oven cavity to determine accurate and consistent baking and roasting.

Causes of a bad temperature sensor can include damage to sensor wires, failure of electronic modules, or extended high temperature exposure.

Symptoms of a faulty temperature sensor include:

• Inability to maintain the set oven temperature
• Fluctuations outside an acceptable temperature range
• Premature or delayed cycling of heating elements
• Error codes related to temperature sensing issues

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

This halogen bulb uses a G9 two-pin base to light the oven cavity, making it easy to monitor food without opening the door. Replace a burned-out or flickering bulb to restore clear interior visibility while cooking.

• Provides illumination inside the oven so you can see through the window during preheat, baking, and broiling
• Plugs into a G9 bi-pin socket in the light assembly
• Common symptoms: no light, flickering or intermittent light, dim light, or a blackened/broken capsule

• Disconnect power at the breaker or unplug the appliance before servicing
• Allow the oven and bulb to cool completely
• Remove the light lens/cover; pull the old bulb straight out of the G9 socket; press the new bulb fully into place; reinstall the cover
• Avoid touching the glass with bare fingers—use gloves or a clean cloth

The Lamp Halogen Bulb is an OEM part for GE ovens. This part provides illumination inside the oven, allowing users to easily monitor the cooking process without opening the door and losing heat. 

Causes of a bad lamp halogen bulb can include regular wear and tear from extended use, exposure to high temperatures, or accidental impacts that cause the bulb to break or malfunction. 

Symptoms of a bad Lamp Halogen Bulb include:

• The oven interior not lighting up when the door is opened
• Flickering or dim light
• The bulb being visibly burnt out or broken
• Difficulty seeing inside the oven during operation

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

The Lamp Halogen Assembly is an OEM part for GE wall ovens and ranges. It houses the halogen light bulb that illuminates the interior oven cavity, allowing food items to be monitored during baking and broiling.

Causes can be normal wear over the lifespan of the bulb, exposure to steam leading to condensation issues, or accidental breakage during cleaning. 

Symptoms of a bad Lamp Halogen Assembly include:

• The oven light will not turn on or remains continuously lit
• Broken, cracked, or blackened halogen bulb
• Damage or cracks in the lens cover shielding the bulb

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

The Lens Oven Light is an OEM part for GE ovens. It lights the oven cavity, allowing homeowners to view food while cooking or cleaning without opening the oven door. The lens is designed to project an even spread of light and withstand high temperatures inside the oven.

Causes of a bad lens can include cracks or breaks due to impact or excessive heat exposure over time. The polymer material used in the lens can degrade with regular use of the oven at high temperatures.

Symptoms of a bad lens include:

• Dim or no light inside the oven cavity
• Uneven or splotchy light distribution
• Cracks or breaks in the lens cover

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