The burner coil had shorted out and actually burnt a hole in my non stick pan and after I replaced that, it would not heat up again. I actually swapped the wires from the back burner, but the small coils use a different watt switch and it would barely boil water with the big coil. So I ordered this
First turn off the breaker, and test with my milti meter. Raise the top panel where the coils are and prop it open high enough to use a screwdriver to open the front panel. Then unscrew the three screws on the inside of the top panel, then open the oven door and you will see 4 screws across the bottom of thefront control board panel
... Read more and two more on each side of the sides of the panel facing straight up. Unscrew those 6 screws and then pull the front control panel forward and out. You might need something or someone to hold the panel, I just let the wires hold the weight, but not highly recommend. Then pull the switch knob off and behind it there are two little bitty screws that hold the switch in place. Unscrew them and pull the switch out of its place. I put the new switch close to the old one and just used the needle nose pliers to unplug one wire at a time and plug it in on the same place as the old one. Then screw the itty bitty screws in the front that hold the switch in place and put tbe knob back on. Reposition the front panel back into place abs screw in the 9 screws removed for disassembly. Now would be a good time to clean under the burner panel if you haven’t done so yet ( it gets pretty nasty under there). Then put your burner top back down into place and turn your breaker back on. You can either test with your multi meter or like I did, just put the burner on high and watct the coils glow. Such a beautiful sight. Easy fix.

Surface element switch failed
Top front sloping sheet metal panel with all controls and plastic end caps has to come off. Need 2 people, one to hold it while other replaces switch. Problem was getting screw holes on bottom ends lined up and cuts from sheet metal edges. Ten minutes to get it apart, 40 to get it back together. New switch works fine.

Burner at full red hot power despite setting
After removing power from the range, I pulled the unit out for better access to the rear. I carefully pulled all four knobs off the front of the control panel. Next, using a short phillips screwdriver, I removed two screws from the front bottom of the control panel. On the rear of the control panel, there are four screws to loosen, now th
... Read moree whole panel is free to remove toward the front of the unit. The burner switches are held onto the panel with two screws that are located on the front under where the knob had been. The wires are all connected to the switch with crimp type connectors. These are on tight, but can be removed carefully with pliers. Before doing so, I took a picture on my phone to ensure I replaced the wires in the correct order. Everything goes back together in reverse order. This is a good time to clean behind and under the whole stove. The whole process took around 20 minutes.
Switch started arcing in the dial range of 2 to 8 in about a year.
Pulled the range out and unplugged it. Removed the back panel. Removed one wire at a time and plugging it in on the new switch. unscrewed the existing switch from the front panel (Two screws). Screwed the new one in, replaced the panel, plugged in the range and tested it. The new switch was a perfect OEM replacement and worked perfectly.

When the burner was turned on it would be on high for any setting. In fact, the burner would be warm to touch even when the switch was in the off position.
I turned the power off at the circuit breaker, pulled the stove out from the wall, and removed the plug. I removed the top back panel, and took the burner switch out by unscrewing the 2 screws in the front of the panel. I used pliers to remove the wires one at a time from the bad switch and put them on the good switch. I replaced the new

One of the 8" stove top elements will not lower the heat when turned down. Will a bad surface burner switch cause this problem?
For model number GE JBSO7M1WW
Hi Jim,
That is a great question. If you not able to turn the heat down on your surface burner then the issue is with the switch. I hope this helps. Have a great day!

8" burner stays on Max heat ...does not turn off
For model number JBP66WOB2WW
Hi Ernest,
Thank you for your question. If the burner is staying on maximum heat and it will not turn off, then the issue is with the burner switch that controls it and it will need to be replaced. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I turn on my 8” burner and there is a little pop noise , and the burner seems to be over heating . It’s already ruined one of my stainless steel boiling pots . I thought it might be the surface element switch . What do you think ?
For model number JBP23DR1WW
Hello Jim, thank you for inquiring. It could be either this 8" Surface Burner Switch part number PS236750, the 8" Surface Burner Element itself, part number PS243922, or the Surface Burner Terminal Block Kit part number PS232606 for your model. I hope this helps and good luck with your repair!

Burner light stays on. Checked continuity on burner switches. Short between black lead (removed) and other 2 leads on one switch. Is it safe to use the other burners with one disconnected while waiting for replacement?

Both of the large burners will randomly go to red hot regardless of the heat setting. Do i need to replace the burner switch?
For model number JBP23DR2BB
Hello Andrea, Thank you for your inquiry. We would recommend checking the switches and surface burner terminal block kits-which is the wiring to the element. Hope this helps!

One large eye will sometimes go to Max heat. Is this in the eye switch?
For model number JBP23DR2CC
Hi Lewis,
Thank you for your question. It could be your switch or the element itself. I would suggest testing your element to make sure that it is working correctly. You would be able to test that part with a multi meter. If your burner is fine then it may be your switch that is the issue. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.
