JDS26GH3 General Electric Range - Instructions

Unplugged the appliance for safety. Removed two 1/4" screws that held the assembly in place. Carefully removed the wire guard that retains the glass shield. Unscrewed old light bulb and replaced with new part. Reversed the steps after cleaning glass cover.

I had to call for a appointment for repair with GE Appliance because I thought then it . .was something electrical. The technician came out & checked everything out, turned out it was not electrical, The technician went out to his truck got a light bulb from his truck, put it in & it worked. It cost me $121.00 for trip charge from GE appl ... Read more iance for a light bulb that worked, your light bulbs were defective twice. Very disappointed with your products, cost me alot of money for a good light bulb thru GE appliance

Step 1--cut power to the unit off at the breaker box! Step 2--take a deep breath and dive in. The most difficult part, after getting over the fear, was unscrewing the old unit from the back plate -- been there a LONG time. Step 3, slowly pull the old part forward to see the wires on either side of the old coil. Note how the 'clips' attach ... Read more to the ends. Remove the old unit, being careful not to bend the clips. Slide the new part into the stove. Attach the clips until click securely--be careful not to bend; make sure the clips are secure or you risk losing the wire inside the stove. Once the clips are secure, gently and slowly slide the ends into the holes. The wires and ends will glide into a hole such that the plates on the part align with the back of the stove. Use the old screws and attach the face plate of the part to the back of the stove. The part may rest slightly above the bottom of the stove; this will resolve itself as the part 'adjusts' to the new environment. Turn the breaker back on and turn on the stove. There may be a slight odor the firs time the unit is used; I suggest leaving the door open and heat the coil completely for about 20 minutes. Should be ready to go. (The old unit should be discarded; ask your recycle team if they accept electronic parts or alert the garbage guys that the old part is in the weekly trask.)

No instructions for installation came w/ part. Used some instruction from order web site that someone else had submitted. Once I figured out how the new part connected to the oven's wiring, it was a very easy to install. If you need to ever replace the bake unit all you need to do are basically 5 things: 1. Using a nut driver, remove the ... Read more nut at each of the connection points of the old bake heating element (these are located at the back of the stove). 2. Slowly and gently pull the old element towards you until you see the wires that connect it to the back of the stove emerge from their holes. 3. Gently pull up the ends of the old bake unit which will remove it from the vertical wiring posts--don't let the wired posts slip back into the holes at the back of the oven--I used a little strip of tape to keep them from sliding back into their holes. 4. Gently slip the posts (one at a time) of the new bake unit down and over the vertical wiring posts connectors (press all the way down over the wiring posts) then w/ both hands gently squeeze both of the bake unit ends at the same time and slowly push them back into their holes until the fastening plates press against the back wall of the oven. 5. Align the nut holes, replace nuts and tighten them. I turned the oven on to make sure it worked and let it heat up for a 1/2 hour. Everything worked fine. Don't let this repair intimidate you--just use the right tools, take a deep breath, go slow and be gentle. I'm not in any way mechanically inclined and I did it--so can you.

0. As a safety precaution, unplug the range or hit the relevant fuse breaker before you start. You might also want to grab a flashlight. Definitely do not try to do this while the oven is hot.
1. Pinch the wire over the light bulb cap to remove it. This is inside the oven at the back.
2. Pop off the hemispherical glass cap.

4. Put the cap back.
5. Secure the cap by putting the wire back in its slots on the cap.

No tools needed, the cap is just held in place with pressure from the wire.

I'm a female so first instinct was to hire this job out until I came looking for the part price. I followed other folks instruction, unplugging the stove, removed the holding screws [2] inside using a nut driver, being careful to not allow the wires to slip into the back wall of the stove, pulled the element forward and unfastened the w ... Read more ires from the bake unit. Inserted the wires onto the new unit, lifted the unit up a bit to get the correct angle to slide it all back in place, returned the holding screws to position, plugged the stove back in, turned it on and viola - an cheap, easy, satisfying repair job. Thank you for all of the tips. I saved over a hundred dollars and learned a skill.

Easy

I followed the instructions from a previous customer posted on your web site. The only tip I would add is make sure you get a snug connection on the element with the connectors on the wires. I used a pair of needle nose pliers and gave it a little squeeze. My concern was I didn't want the wires to come off when I pushed them back throu ... Read more gh the wall behind the insulation.

After replacement of burner element to no joy, ordered and replaced the infinite switch control. Turned off and tagged range circuit breaker. Lifted top range surface and propped up. Removed screws of control panel back cover and removed cover exposing the front panel control switches and wiring. Tested for any voltage on exposed con ... Read more nectors with multimeter. Noted that replacement switch and old switch had different connector physical layout. Drew a layout of both switch connectors on paper noting that while connector tabs were in different locations the labels of each connection was clearly labeled and matched. Pulled off the knob from old switch and removed the two screws holding it on front control panel. Pulled old switch out at the back of the panel. Then using needle nose pliers pulled one connector at a time from old switch and moved to new switch matching labeled connectors. Reinstalled new switch, back cover, lowered range surface top, turned breaker back on, and new burner control works great.
