I have a GE Model JGBP265BEA1WH and the oven would not work. The broiler & stove top did. I replaced the ignitor and now both the oven and broiler do not work but the burners do. I tried to locate the gas shut off valve and checked behind the lower drawer and on the right behind the burners but cannot locate a level at either location. Any ideas? Thanks!ther bb

pull out the racks and remove the bottom floor of the oven,turn it on bake,if the ignitor doesn't glow most likely it's bad,if it does glow and it doesn't ignite within 40 to 60 seconds the ignitor is bad.even though it glows doesn't mean it's good,it works by amps.it takes 3.2 amps.for a flat ignitor to open the gas valve and 2.5 amps for a round ignitor to open the gas valve.

The ignitor just needs replaced . you can find the parts using your stove model # . its two screws and a wire to replace .

the way to check this is to first see if ignitor comes on or put an amp clamp meter on it. the ignitor needs to draw 2.8 amps or more to engage the gas valve. if it doesnt lite or draw any amps at all. check voltage to bake ignitor. it will be the ignitor most likely. but the gas valve or control could be bad.

Replace the oven ignitor.

Ignitor needs to be working for the gas valve to open. If the ignitor does not reach the proper amp draw the gas valve will not open. There is a video at www.appliancehelponline.com/servicemanual.html this will walk you thru performing an amp draw test on the ignitor.

Hi,

The ignitor is not working right and is going bad....
have the repair man replace the ignitor, or DIY....

Your glowbar ignitor for the bake burner is bad.
Use the attached diagram to show location.

The bake ignitor has failed.Turn off the gas supply. Remove the racks. Then remove the bottom pan cover in the oven to access the ignitor. Place a amp meter on one wire of the ignitor.Turn the BAKE switch on. If it reads less than 3 amps,replace the ignitor.

Check the amp draw on the ignitor. If 2.9 amps or less, replace the ignitor. If 2.9 amps or more, replace the gas safety valve.

I think you missed a letter at the beginning of your model number. (it is maybe a JGSP31GER ?) I would first test the broil, and see if that works. (I would guess that it does) Most likely the oven ignitor (part number WB13K5058 ) needs to be replaced. It is located under the floor of the oven right next to the burner. It is a round electric coil thing about 4 inches long. If you want to confirm that this part is bad before replacing it, (and the broiler works) you can take the ignitor off the broiler and install it in place of the oven ignitor. They are the same part number. Of course now your broiler and self clean will not work unless you replace the broiler's ignitor. This is not too difficult, maybe a 3 on a scale of 1 - 10. Should be a Fix-Ya for your slide in range!
