After several years of dealing with the random faulting "F7" code and turning the power off of the oven until it was needed, I decided to replace the control module. I looked up the model and ordered the replacement part.
When the module arrived, it was was a little different from the OEM module, terminal wise, but not signifi ... Read more cant, so it was easy to unplug the bad one and plug in the new one. A total of six screws, unplug a few wires, remove the old module, plug the wires back in and I'm back in business.
I'd suggest that novice do-it-yourselfers take a picture of the back of the old module with wires in place, before disconnecting for reference. If no camera is available, simply make a basic drawing of terminal locations/names or use one of the pictures from the new instructions to lable your old terminals, before disconnecting. NOTE: Three terminals were relocated to the top of two relays, with one of the relays requiring two wires to be connected.

he connecting wires can break loose and disappear behind the batting. Once freed, disconnected both wires with socket (use pliers for extra grip on flat part of connectors, if necessary), removed element, braced new element on bottom of oven, aligning connectors to now-free wires. Re-attached with the new screws that came with the element (attachment points on element are threaded; do not reuse old screws as the threads may not match), gently re-inserted element into insulating batting at rear of oven, reattached hanging support, then replaced element plate screws.
Can be difficult to work in small, deep ovens....many oven doors can be removed. If so, remove oven door and use a chair as a support...lie on your back on the chair and hang your head and arms in the oven.

Six screws remove the oven control assembly cover. Four screws remove the control from the cover. A few spade connections to swap to the new unit. And reassemble. Power off during repair, of course. This is control number three. Typical GE quality.

I first removed the broken element by removing the two hexhead screws on either side of the element bracket. Then I gently pulled the wires through the opening and removed two more screws that attached the wiring to the element. I then compared the new and old elements and found a few differences.
First, the screw holes whe ... Read more re the wires connect to the element were tiny in the new element, about a third the size of the holes in the old one. Secondly, the mounting bracket was not as long as the original, and the holes to mount it to the back of the oven are located at the top of the bracket, instead of the sides.
Since this was the only element that I have found, that comes close to the original, I decided to make it work.
I took my drill and a small bit and bored out the screw holes, just enough to get a self taping screw to fit and reconnected the wires.
Now I'm not sure that I would recomment the next step to anyone, but I did this: I held the new bracket against the back of the oven and drilled new holes to match the new bracket, and again used self tapping screws. The reason that I don't encourage this is that the new bracket fits just inside of the old opening, but the insulation cannot be seen as long as the element does not get moved. I then plugged the original bracket holes with the original hex head screws.
It took a little more time and effort than I had expected, but well worth it, after eight months without the use of my oven.
