I will give you this generic guide that you can follow to replace that switch;
1. Before repairs can begin, you must disconnect the electricity at the fuse panel, at the circuit breaker panel, or by pulling the plug. Make sure the power is off before proceeding. A jolt from 220 volts can be fatal, use caution!.
2. Next, depending on your appliance type/model, access the infinite switch using one of the following methods:
a. For most standard models, remove the back panel.
b. On models with front-mounted controls, the panel is attached with screws on both ends. Remove the screws and tilt the control panel, being careful not to let the wires disengage from the components.
c. For models with a removable backsplash, simply lift the backsplash, rest it on the cooktop and remove the screws to access the components.
d. If you are working on an eye-level range or wall oven, remove the control panel by opening the door and removing the screws that secure it. The screws may be located under the front of the exhaust hood or below the control panel. If the control panel is hinged, tilt the control panel towards you.
e. Some models will require that you remove the rear panel and front panel before work can begin.
f. If the front control panel is glass, remove the screws securing the trim that holds the glass in place.
Remove all wires from the switch terminals. (Remember to label them!)
Remove the infinite switch by removing the screws or nuts that hold it in place and install a new infinite switch by following the disassembly instructions above in reverse order.

The item you are replacing is the Element Control 3000w shown on this diagram as part of item 19.
It should be looking like this. Normally the part should have come with some instructions. The item is one of the items in 19 and you will have to open it.
But this should give you an idea of where it sits.
Hope this helps.
Is this a cook top or range or oven?
Have a try on the USE and CARE manual and INSTALLATION manual available in the GE website. Here is the link: http://genet.geappliances.com/DocSearch/...

glass top stove / oven
That site is no help for repairing your own oven. Thats a general Care manual.
I need to know how to take the unit apart and replace the switch.
The oven model is JSP40A0W3AA and the switch i am replacing is a GE 1500w switch for the small burner - part # WB23M24.
Yes, that is the part. I used that diagram when ordering the part. What i need is detailed instructions on removing and replacing it correctly.
