GE Profile Gas Range, serial at235522p, model JGBP79WEW1WW
What is the procedure to calibrate the oven? I checked my oven temperature against a kitchen thermostate with probe, there is a 30 degrees difference... my oven is lower.

I am working with model JGBP26WEH1WW GE Gas range: You do not need to remove the back or even turn over, just remove the storage pan at the base of the unit and disconect the two plugs (unique plugs). You will need to splice your old conectors to your new igniter. Yes you have the correct igniter for that model.
I believe that you have a convection oven.... by design, convection ovens built by GE come up to temperature....at 25 degrees below the set level .... when the Convection function is enabled.

Open oven temperature sensor circuit
Measure oven temperature sensor circuit at oven temperature sensor (should be approx 1100 ohms at room temp); check for cut or pinched wire or loss of contact
I assume you mean converted. Changing the gas supply from natural to LP or vice versa should not change the temperature calibration settings. Most manuals have a compensation method for their units within them, should you suspect your temperature dial is out of range. Get a small oven thermometer, put it in the oven, run at a known setting...say 350 and read what the gauge says after 15 minutes.
Your manual can be found on the GE site under http://www.geappliances.com/service_and_support/literature/
First of all, do not use the oven thermometers from a grocery store. they can be off by 20 degrees or more. These directions may help you for electronically controlled ovens. The older manually controlled ovens have a small screw head in the center of the oven temperature knob that can be adjusted in usually 10 degree increments.
To Adjust the Thermostat
Touch the Bake and Broil Hi/Lo pads
at the same time for 3 seconds until the
display shows SF.
Touch the Bake pad. A two digit number
shows in the display.
Touch Bake once to decrease (-)
the oven temperature, or twice to
increase (+).
The oven temperature can be adjusted
up as much as 35°F. or down as much
as 35°F. Touch the number pads the
same way you read them. For example,
to change the oven temperature 15°F,
touch 1 and 5.
When you have made the adjustment,
touch the Start pad to go back to the
time of day display. Use your oven as
you would normally. NOTE: The thermostat adjustment for Baking will also affect Convection Baking or Convection Roasting.
If you can smell the gas when you turn on the oven, it may be on a separate igniter that has gone bad. I would check this first. If you are not getting gas to the oven, there is possibly an issue with the supply line.
