20 Most Recent GE JGBP33 Gas Kitchen Range Questions & Answers

If it sets the temp and all other functions work then it's probable you need to replace the thermometer, usually something has banged into the small copper tubing causing a crimp or a crack, it's not a big job and in most cases you can pick up a replacements from a local service shop relatively cheap. Not a difficult job and usually instructions are included.

There may be an oven over temp thermal switch that has opened and needs to be replaced. Also you need to determine why the temp got so hot to cause this safety device to do its job. This might be a failed cooling fan

You will need to replace spark module. Here is the part to order.There is alsoa video on that same page to show you how to make the repair.

You most like have a bad oven control. But make sure that your outlet is woeking properly.

Oven Problems Replacing the Igniter

I had a similar problem.The power failure might just have been a coincidence.Sounds to me like your lower oven igniter may have gone bad such as mine did.

You may have a bad igniter on the oven manifold. The broiler and oven use separate igniters. So, if the broiler works, you don't have a gas problem. No ignition is most commonly attributed to an oven igniter that is going bad. As these igniters age, they become weak and require replacement. The following link explains some theory behind how they work and how to replace one:

Replacements parts can be purchased at any of the following web sites:

searspartsdirect.com
pcappliancerepair.com
appliancepartspros.com
repairclinic.com

Prices vary, so shop and compare.

NOTE: If the replacement igniter comes with a connector plug that does not match the one on your range, you will be instructed to cut the old connector plug off and splice the wires together using a set of ceramic wire lugs that are included in the replacement kit. DO NOT attempt to use standard wires lugs. They will melt due to the extreme heat in an oven. The ceramic lugs and the wires on the igniter are heat resistant.

NOTE: If BOTH oven features do not work, these features are controlled by the Electronic Oven Control (EOC) board. This is the clock/timer assembly on the operator console. It is possible for the control board to fail and disable both oven features. If you have any questions about this repair, please let me know. I hope this helps you.

The orange glow is the igniter. Normally, the igniter turns on and begins to glow. As the igniter heats, the change in it's resistance causes it to use more electrical current (amperage). When the amperage level reaches a threshold (let's say 3.2 amps, for an example) the ovens safety gas valve will open because in knows the igniter (using that much electrical current) is hot enough to light the gas. This process usually takes under two minutes. The igniter stays on until the oven reaches the set temp, then it turns off, and the gas valve shuts off very soon after. Then the cycle repeats when the oven thermostat call for heat again after cooling down a bit.
The trouble is, as these igniters get old, they have a harder time reaching that needed amperage threshold to operate properly. You can just swap the broiler igniter with the bake igniter if you wish, as they are the same part number in your model, and the broil is generally used much less, and so should have much more life left. (of course now the broiler and the self clean will not work, until you replace the broiler igniter with a new one.) In rare cases, if you have low line voltage to the range (say 108 volts) that will also cause the same problem, or if you have a poor electrical connection, but those cases are rare, and about 99 percent of the time your problem will be fixed by replacing the oven igniter. (GE part number WB2X9154 for your model)
Sorry to get so long winded. Just replace the oven igniter.

Hi, it sounds like the oven ignitor might be bad. Remove the floor panel inside the oven and you will see the ignitor attached to the burner assembly. Turn the oven on and see if it glows. You can test the connection for the ignitor and see if it gets 120V to it. The most common problem with the gas oven is the ignitor. Most of the time, the ignitor glows but is not strong enough to open the gas valve.
Please let me know if this was helpfull or if I can assist you further.

Thanks
