Ge wall oven will not heat up on bake,boil or clean cycle

To find the correct replacement baking element for your GE Rapid Clean II J55BF-1 wall mount oven, you can try the following steps:

1. Locate the model and serial number of your oven. This information is usually found on a label on the inside of the oven door or on the back of the oven.
2. Visit the GE Appliances website or use an online appliance parts retailer to search for the part using your oven model number.
3. Look for the baking element part number in the oven's user manual or service manual. These manuals may be available online or from the manufacturer.
4. If you are still having trouble finding the correct part number, consider contacting the manufacturer's customer service department for assistance.

Once you have the correct part number, you can order the replacement baking element and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installation.

On appliances like this only the heating elements use 220 volts. things like the clock, fan, etc use 110 volts. That is why some things work and other do not. Start at the breaker, sometimes a double pole breaker will have 1 side tripped, but will look perfectly fine. switch the breaker all the way to off then re-set. If nothing changes follow the power to the appliance remove the panel and look for some fuses, check to see if any are blown. Also sometimes the microwave will have a separate power source even though its built in to the same appliance. So that's not always a good symptom to follow.

GE Oven Won't Heat

The bake element is shown on the repair parts list. Looks like about $19

Most double wall ovens are technically two separate oven boxes. The lower oven box has its bake, boil elements, high limit thermostat and ofcourse its own oven sensor. If the lower oven box boil is working good and less heat on bake feature may suggest that the bake element is burned out and only getting preheated with boil element. Just a suggestion here

What is the model number of the unit?

Usually, when an oven won't heat, it's because the bake element is burned out. The bake element is the black, pencil- thick tube at the bottom of the oven. When the oven heats, the element glows red. This element has an expected life-span of several years. It may last for only one; it may last for many more. When the element burns out, you need to replace it.

does the bake element come on at all?
if so, try the oven out. do a bake @ 350 allow it to pre-heat, and see if once the pre-heat is comlete, id the broil shuts off.
on many ovens at the beginning of the cycle during pre-heat both bake and broil elements are powered.

other than that it may be a control board, or a burnt and crossed wire in the harness.

I honestly believe you are right. you should be able to wiggle it back and forth and pull it out.
