JGP336WEV3WW General Electric Cooktop - Instructions

First off,I was shocked and pleased at how quickly the parts were speed, next day! I did have to return two bowls and order the correct ones only because it was not clear which bowls were needed and the GE manual had no specifications. The small bowl was easy enough to discern, the medium and large were the challenge. The middle opening on both bowls is the same. I failed to notice on the plates and online that the spark emitter, (I do not recall the correct teen), is closer to the middle opening. After receiving the correct bowls, our gas range looks like new.

Ok - I LOVE THIS COMPANY!! When I read the other blogs I was a little confused. Ok first choosing the right drip pan for my gas stovetop was a little confusing because there was a cheaper one that look just like mine. I didn't have the model number - so I WOULD have guessed on it. Later I took my stovetop apart and found model number. Found that MY model required the more expensive drip pans. I think this will help people.... (1) Both type of drip pans looked just alike, but the space between the ignitor and the flame was different. The closer one wouldn't have worked. (2) They were categorized as small medium and large drip pans. BUT - they all had the same dimension: 9 inches. The difference is made in the flame area. My stove top has one small flame area, one large and two mediums, that's how you determine which size you need. (3) The ignitor, when you take it off - nothing shows whether the little white ignitor breaks apart or not, and HOW you get it out. Once you remove the little wire holding it to the drippan, don't try to pull apart the white ignitor, it doesn't come apart. Mine had rusty residue attaached, making it hard to pull through. But when I removed the crusty stuff the white thing popped through the hole. (I called a REP to see if the white thing tore apart or not and they weren't sure. So maybe this will help some other woman who is wondering.) This was ABSOLUTELY the easiest and most cost effective way to have a nearly BRAND NEW stove top. And I'm pleased with myself that I did it without any help.

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.

On a scale of 1-10 (1 being the lowest level of difficulty), this was clearly a 1. Tools needed are a plillips' head and flat head screwdrivers. First, lift off Burner Cap and Burner Head. Then, raise existing drip bowl (plenty excess wiring), and use flat screwdriver to release retainer clip. Now, disconnect wire attached to spark electrode (igniter) for removal. Unless replacing it, also remove the rubber gasket at base of old drip bowl for reuse (take the opportunity to clean throughly around drip pan base). Reverse procedure, and check igniter. Your job is complete, and you just saved the cost of a service call, and paid less than half the price of retail for genuine replacement parts. As a side note, I received the parts from PartsSelect in less than 24 hours. The customer reviews will also fully reassure you that you are more than capable of making the simple replacement.

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