JS645SL3SS General Electric Range - Instructions

I picked the least expensive and most likely issue with our oven that was not indicating a correct oven temperature. I am sure with a 15+ year appliance that the circuitry is on its way out but wanted to give this a try to avoid a new appliance purchase. Oven pre-heat setting takes much longer to finish with the age of the oven. However, after the new sensor the oven will maintain a more even temperature for the cycle.

Removal of the sensor from the inside of the oven is a bit awkward since it is located between the broiler elements at the back but a nut driver was the correct tool and worked fine. A bit stuck with the heating of the connection but pretty simple to replace. Must remove the back first to uncouple the connector. Simplest part of the repair.

At best a temporary fix for a an appliance this old.

YouTube to review, had 1 person hold stove top for ease. Simple repair

Remove 2 screws and 2 wires- took the coil, then installed the wires and put the screws in--works fine. Thanks for the fast service.

Performed repair using a video for reference.

threw out the old ones and slide in the replacement ones from you.

The burner remained on high regardless of the position of the control. 1. Unplug the range. 2. From the back of the range control panel, remove the top-plate that covers the controls. (4 screws) 3. Remove the two screws that hold the control knob in place. 4. Move ONE WIRE AT A TIME from the old control knob to the new gripping the connector only (do NOT pull the wire). 5. Remount the controller and reassemble the back cover with four screws. 6. reconnect the range and test.

recieved part the next day. looked different but I followed instructions and the part worked perfect.

First I removed the oven drawer. Verified that the support clips would rest correctly on rail, then review installation document with supports to locate alternate location for replacement supports. I did have to personally locate 2 fastners not provided with the supports ot complete installation. After installation, oven drawer opens and closes smoothly.

Turned off power at circuit breaker. Disconnected electrical connections from stove and lifted stove top out of counter. Removed glass top by removing about 8 screws from side of stove top.Replaced burner element and replaced glass top.

Shut off power at breaker.
Pull range away from the wall.
Remove screws under and behind control assembly.
Remove knob of affected switch and remove two screw holding it to assembly.
Remove assembly from range, taking care not to damage screen, as it is held onto assembly by flimsy plastic.
Using pliers, remove wires one at a time from the old switch and press them onto the contacts of the new switch.
Reassemble everything and turn the power back on.

We followed the instructions provided by other customers

I took the racks out . took the two screws out holding the element.removed the two wires remove the element.then cleaned the oven.put the wires on new element. Put element back in holes.replaced screws.replaced racks.worked like new. I would recommend partselect to any one thanks Lewis

I replaced the element by taking out the screws that held the old element. Removed the old element but the wires went back into the insulation and I tried fishing them out. They just wouldn't come back down after much prying. I ended up taking the back panel off and pushing them back into the oven. Once I did that the replacement was easy.

Removed screws holding temp sensor, pulled wire out from behind wall until found connector, disconnected old sensor.
Measured resistance of old sensor and compared with new sensor, they measured nearly the same. Installed the new sensor and tested the stove. Came up to temp ok. No problem since, about 2 weeks.

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.
3. Unscrew the old light bulb, and screw the new light bulb in its place.
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.
