JGP636WED1WW General Electric Cooktop - Instructions

First I shut off the gas valve below the range and unplugged the unit from the electrical outlet. I left the flexible gas line fitting undisturbed/attached to the range top gas fitting. Then I removed the two screws below the unit (under the counter) that affix the range to the counter/support structure. Then I removed all of the knobs and burner grills and gas diffusers sitting on the top of the range. Then I lifted out the burner bowls and disconnected each from their respective spark wires. Then I gently pried the range from its hole in the counter being carefulm not to break the glass top and lifted it out turned it at an angle to the counter top hole and set it back down on the counter. Then I gently pried off the glass top from the metal range base, cleaned it thoroughly and set it aside. Then, I placed the new spark module next to the old one and one by one I transferred each wire to its respective location on the new module. The instructions pointed out that the new spark module has a revised grounding scheme and that a ground wire is no longer needed, so I removed and discarded the green ground wire. I then affixed the new spark module into the location where the old spark module had been. Next I replaced the wiring harness which contains the switches for each burner location. It is important to replace the wiring harness along with the spark module as they must work together reliably to complete the gas ignition circuit. The old wiring harness simply lifts/unsnaps out and the new one snaps into its place. Once both the spark module and wiring harness were in place, reassembly of the range was simply the reverse of disassembly.

Removed the two screws holding the porcelain burner bowl. Disconected the electric igniter by removing the "w" clip on the underside of the bowl. Then disconnected the igniter from the electric supply cord. Reverse these directions using the new urner bowl.
Really easy.

Pulled off burner grates, burner, unscrewed burner bowl, removed clip from igniter and wire, then put it all back together. Was very easy, and the stove looks like new again.

PartSelect is very good with amazing shipment times. The kjpart arrived much sooner than expected.

No way to adjust mixer tube assembly so the mounting holes will line up with the holes in the burner bowl. Mounting
holes in bowl should be slotted to prevent future problems.
Had to finally bend the mixer tube mounting bracket enough to get one bowl on. It also made the procelin break
on that bowl because the screw put to much pressure on the side of the hole.

Igighter mounting hole out of position just enough to prevent the burner head from sliding over it and sitting on
the mixer tube correctly.

I solved this problem by fileing the opening slot for the igniter. Even with the igniters being just a little out of
alignment from the original position they still light well.

I did not get new gaskets for the burner bowl but would reccommend that you get them.

I had a 14 yr. old GE cook top. Back right burner out, igniter blew circuit breaker (I had disabled this burner many months prior to use other four burners). Cause by dripping into on/off knobs into switch. TO FIX: I looked online for answers, I ordered the wire harness, Un-plug the stove, turn off inline Gas, take off all knobs and loose items. Open up stove-top, (taking off two Phillips screws on each burner plate). Now replace the wire harness from the line voltage to each burner. The new wire was much different (improved) but it would only fit one way (after a bit of panic). I un-plugged the old wire harness one by one, plugged in the new cord one by one (same locations, colors), Lift up each old burner switch (one by one) and Install newly wired Switches over top of each burner (at a bit of an angle to seat properly 22deg?). Now the hard part, Clean all the stove, every part. Put it back together. Try it out. stand back.....just kidding. I called into site and GE help line. I finally got a help desk. Very nice and helpful to ensure me that this part was correct part# for this stove. No I did not take any pictures. Old-fashioned. Note: I ran all parts through dishwasher. This needs to unplug and remove each igniter also.

The replacement part not right size for the porcelain cone for gas. Had to unscrew 2 screws remove the cone, after unclicking gas wire. The gas spreader did not fit with the cone in place.

Looked on YouTube for disassembly video. Ordered harness. Harness did not fit in order of burner controls. Installed harness to reach all burner controls. Unplugged wires from main spark controller and by trial reinstalled wires in controller until all burner controls would spark.

Disconnect cooktop power by unplugging from outlet or turning off circuit breaker. Turn off gas to cooktop. Remove burner top ends and knobs by lifting off, keeping track of which parts go to which burner. I like to take pictures with my phone as I go in case I have questions when reassembling. Use a crosshead screwdriver to remove two screws on each burner pan and remove pans, gently pulling off the ignition wire from the sparker. Keep track of which pans go to which burner. I used a plastic pry tool for auto trim removal, to lift each pan since they were all somewhat stuck and i didn't want to scratch the cooktop. Remove glass top by gently lifting and set aside. Lift off each igniter switch but do not disconnect wires yet. Set them aside. The link below gives instruction for installing the ignition switches over the valves. The switches go on as depicted in the "Switch 22 Degrees" diagram. The tabs on the bottom of the switch will fit over the valve screws, and the gap in the switch housing will expose the simmer adjust screw. Attach the wires by removing the old wires one-by-one and replacing with the new wires. Reassembly is in reverse order.

The OEM harness goes around counter-clockwise starting from the top right knob (after attaching to the cooktop power). This replacement unit will not fit in this order. It will only fit starting at the bottom right knob, move to top right knob, then proceed counter-clockwise.

I received a defective part from PartsSelect.com. After contacting their Customer Service, they promptly replaced the part for no charge at all. I am very, very pleased with PartsSelect.com and recommend them to all "home mechanics".

The bowl was replaced by removing two screws, removing the igniter wire, clip, and igniter. Reverse to re-assemble. I would recommend replacing the gasket at the same time.

Real simple to do. Simply remove the two screws holding the bowl and disconnect the electric wire. Obviously first pull the power cord to prevent being shocked.
Re-attach the power cord and and screw the bowl tight. Plug in the power cord.

Easy, just remove two top screws, unplug the igniter wire and then do it in reverse. Your're done in less than 15min.

Removed two screws holding drip bowl in place. Removed spring clip holding igniter to drip bowl and removed igniter. Installed igniter to new drip bowl and installed drip bowl to cook top. Took less than 5 minutes.

Removed two small screws, removed old bowl, placed new bowl, replaced screws.

replaced drip bowl removed 2 screws, removed wire from igniter. and could have used a new gasket but I used some rope caulking to cushion the pan with the glass top which worked very very well.
