JCK5000DF4WW General Electric Range - Instructions

The first step was to determine whether the problem was with the fan itself or the switch. I did this by opening the back cover and using a Volt meter to verify that the fan was not getting power. (I could have skipped this step.)

Next, I unplugged the range, closed up the back cover and lifted the range hood by removing two hex head screws that are just inside and on either side of the top of the opening in the range door. Propping the hood open, I removed the connector leading to the switch, then pushed the switch out the front. Inspection showed that the switch was damaged so I closed up the range and ordered the part from Part Select. Once the part arrived, it was a 15 minute job to unplug the range, lift the top, install the new switch, and close up the unit.

Caution. On starting to install the switch, I failed to unplug the range and my finger brushed one of the hot contacts leading to the switch. Thankfully, I was not injured. Do not repeat my mistake on this issue. Unplug the range even if you're only installing this simple switch.

After opening the Oven door, I removed the glass cover to view and locate the bulb, at the inside, top front of the Oven. Removed the burnt out bulb by pulling it in a forward motion towards the front of the Oven, slid the new bulb into place and the Oven is again functional.

there was one screw holding it on the back wall of the oven. It was easy enough that my daughter installed it with my guidance.

Unplugged the Range and removed the two screws holding down the cook top. You do not need to remove the vent chamber at the rear of the range since the top lifts up about 4 inches. This should be enough room to get your hand onto the plug going to the door switch. Pull off the plug and remove the swich. Pop in the new one, put on the plug, reinstall the two screws and you are done!

Read the thread on "burnt smell" and DO NOT assume it is a burned out element. Follow your nose!!

I used a Trox bit to remove one screw, replaced the oven sensor and reinstalled the screw. The whole project took less than 5 minutes.

Watched a video on how to replace , had no problem remaking the repair, part was a perfect fit and had no hang up or issues

I ordered the glass assembly which promptly arrived and I proceeded to unscrew the broken glass assembly and (by myself) removed it with ease. I then placed the new glass assembly and replaced the screws. It was really an easy job, I just retraced my steps from removing the broken assembly and replacing it with the new assembly. By the way, it was the first time I had done this.

Opened the screws holding the handle of the door, then insert the new glass and retighten the screws holding the handle back in place.

Removed screws from front of oven, placed a table under oven 2” below, places two rollers on table and pulled out the oven. Removed screws, replaced fan and reassembled. Move into place and secured front. Cleared faults and worked perfectly.

Changed the Temperature Sensor as you suggested, but the problem of 40 minutes to reach a temperature of 375 degrees F. remained the same.

Remove oven light lens cover, remove the bulb and replace it with a new one.
