JBP78WB1WW General Electric Range - Instructions

It was so easy I just unscrewed the back that was easier for me and inserted the wires and done!

1 Turn oven off. 2 Turn oven light on. 3 Remove 2 1/4" screw holding element in place. 4 tip front of element up and the back of the element down and pull gently down and out. 5 remove 2 1/4" electrical connectors from the element. 6 discard old element. 7 install new element in reverse order of above steps.

The age of the system resulted in the cook top being heavily stuck by food-stuff to the range surface. The result was a twisting of the top when breaking it free. It caused the cooktop (a $500+ part) to crack diagonally across the whole surface. Thus ended the quick do-it-yourself process, and out to buy a new range. Parts-select was very good about the return process of the un-used and un-opened burner element.

-Pull the oven away from the wall and unplug it. -Remove the sheet metal panel on the middle of the back of the oven exposing the electrical connections. -Pull off the wire connections from the broiler element and identify which one goes to which side. Pull apart the connector for the thermostat -Go inside the oven and remove the 2 screws holding the element to the back wall. -Remove the 2 screws holding the element to the top of the oven. -Pull the element out and remove the thermostat, and attach it to the new element bracket. Reinstall everything in the reverse order.

Identified part and part # using schematic found on GE website, contacted PartSelect and confirmed part number, ordered and paid for part. Two days later I recieved part. Unplugged stove, removed two screws on bottom side of front panel and two on top back of same panel, pulled panel forward, pulled the control knob off, removed two small screws that hold the control switch in place, situated new control switch next to bad switch and removed one wire at the time from the bad switch and connected to the same terminal on the new switch. Put everything back together and Bingo, works like a new one. Thanks PartSelect for the friendly, personal phone service, the fast shipment and competitive pricing on my part.

Shut power off to stove. Removed two screws with a 1/4" nut driver. Extracted the old element. Discovered one of the two solderless connections was not connected. Pulled the stove out and removed the back panel, only 4 screws, and exposed the wiring to the element. Discovered a wire connection had burned out. This was most likely due to a loose connection. I installed the new element and made the good connection. After cleaning up the burnt wire end on the other wire, I installed a new crimp terminal and connected it to the element. These crimp connections need to be tight. Replaced back panel and plugged stove back in and tested it. All worked fine. Put stove back in place. About 30 minutes. I am an electrician but do not normally do appliances. Good luck.

Man..this was easy. I'm no Mr Fix-it, and had actually left a message with a repair guy to come and replace the fried oven(bake) coil. After doing a Google search, and seeing the video by the PartSelect guy, I said, "hey I can do this". I ordered the part, it came wrapped better than my first born child, and it was a breeze to install. My wife is still in shock that I did it!

Changed out the burner with a new replacement and it still didn't work. The socket on the old burner had a burn mark on it. The infinite switch operated sloppy not crisp like the other burners.Ordered a replacement online. Moved the range away from wall and cabinet and shut off electric at panel box. Removed upper back panel. removed switch knob and 2 screws holding switch. Compared electrical connections of both switches and saw that they were different. Read instructions which were included with new switch and found diagram for connecting old lead to new lead correctly. After all leads were connected, remounted new switch powered up and tested OK.

Unpluged the unit from the electrical outlet,unscrewed the unit from the back wall. I used electrical tape to hold the wires so they wouldn't go back inside the stove. Replaced the unit with the new one. Pushed the prones into the unit,put the screwes back and in now time i was finished.Quick and easy job for a lady.

Remove light bail, glass cover held by two nut screws. Pull socket, removed clips in back, replaced wire connectors, placed new socket in, then glass cover and bail. Wire connected in back, cover plate replaced.

Never did a repair like that. Had to ask store clerk what you call that thing you take off bolts with. But repair went great. Very satisfied. Part arrived very quickly and saved our Christmas dinner. THANK YOU!

I had read some accounts of the terminal wires pulling back into the insulation, and, sure enough, one of them did before I could clip it. Even at that, pulling the stove out and removing the four nuts that held the shield in place only added another five minutes, tops. The whole thing took less than 15 minutes to change. One nut driver removes the two nuts that secure the bake element to the back of the oven, and also fits the four nuts on the shield on the back of the stove. Very easy repair, thanks to the advice given by others on this site. Thanks.

1. Pull range out from wall and disconnect power cord from outlet. 2. Remove 5 screws to remove panel on back side of range to expose the bake element connections. 3. Pull push-on terminals from element. 4. On inside of oven, remove two screws and remove old element. 5. Insert contacts end of new element through the holes in oven back wall. 6. Reverse the disassembly steps to complete the installation.

I watched your video on the subject and followed it exactly. It explained everything I needed to know. The hardest part was CLEANING under the stove once I pulled it out from the wall!

After searching the internet for a cause for the burner not getting hot it looked as though it was the burner switch. I ordered the switch and installed it. Behold it still did not work. I then ordered the burner, installed it and it worked. So I had a 50/50 chance as to which part was the problem. This was my first stove repair and I found it easy to do. Finding something to hold up the ceramic cooktop took the most time. I cut a piece of wood to prop it up while I replaced the burner.
