JGS968BH2BB General Electric Range - Instructions

Installed the new brackets at the back of the drawer with the 2 screws provided. The new rear mount design is much better than than the old side mount.

I just removed the drawer and installed the rear supports as instructed on paper included with the part.

Cut off approx. 1/8" in length for correct fit.

replaced Plastic Guides

Threw the old one out - plugged the new one in. Steak came out just as ordered - medium rare.

Replaced Spark Module and adjusted igniters

This went pretty smoothly. Watch the video and just follow along step-by-step and it goes well. It would have only taken about 30-45 minutes (even being careful and slow) but I ended up placing the glass twice (be very careful and triple check that all the insulation gets poked under the housing and none is sticking out). The first time I had a small piece sticking out. (Use gloves for this part so your hands don't itch). The second time I needed to redo part of it is I forgot one of the spacers on the door handle and had to get that in there so the handle worked properly. I also took the time to clean the oven while the door was off so that took some time. Total I probably had 1.5-2 hours into this project but at least half of that was me cleaning and being fussy. This is an easy repair. I'm not a confident repair person and this wasn't difficult. It was a little time consuming but well worth the cost vs calling a repair person or buying a new appliance. You do need to have a specialty star head on a screwdriver but my simple tool kit had all the tools I needed. The oven has been working great since the repair.

First of all, there are FOUR panes of glass on the oven door and two different sizes. Make sure you're ordering the right pane. We initially got the wrong one and had to return/reorder.

Took door off hinges and set on table. Removed almost all screws. Two at the top are very long and almost spring loaded -- this was helpful when putting it back together.
When removing the layers, keep track of what/where screws are placed. Some are star-hole-head, some are hex-head (socket). Work slowly and carefully so as not to break additional panes of glass. Leave plenty of room in your workspace to set items aside while you get to the innermost part of the door.

For this part #, it's deep in the door layers and surrounded by fiberglass. Wear gloves so you're not itchy later. This part acts as a double-pane with a narrow aluminum frame around the two pieces of glass. Be careful not to bend the frame when removing the broken piece. One corner of the frame also has a hook-n-hole closure. Take care to not bend the hook too much.

We wiped all the glass pieces off to get all fingerprints, smudges, and baked-on foods removed. Then we put the pieces/parts back -- a lot like a puzzle. Had the oven back up and running with no problems. It may take two people to get the door back on the hinges just because of the weight and awkward position they need to clamp back together.

I did find instruction in the Q&A on how to to change the part was for an older oven.

Here are the instructions that matched my oven model "JGSP42SET1SS"

I also had issues where the connector for the new part would not come through the hole in the back of the oven. I used a shoestring around the connector so I would have a good grip on it when I disconnected the old igniter.This allowed me to have a good grip to reconnect to the new igniter.

While you have this apart I would also recommend that you remove the burner and blow out any material that may have accumulated over the years,

Take off 6 screws of back cover of the range, unplug the white wire. Go to the inside of oven, pull out racks. At the top of the oven is your Broiler element, in the center you will see a rod sticking out with one screw holding it in place. Take out screw and pull temperature sensor out toward you. Reverse steps to put it back together.

Could not have been easier. All screws are 1/4 inch. Oven door can be removed to make it easier to get to screws in back of oven,but igniter can be installed with door in place. Remove bottom panel then remove four screws on flame spreader. Remove trwo screws that hold igniter in place. Replace with new igniter, it may be necessary to remove the clip on new igniter and splice the two leads. Now your cooking with gas.

The oven lamp shattered while cleaning. Easy to replace by hand.

This item worked as described. I paid more for this 'oem' probe than the generic 1 because i didn't want to chance it not working as others have reported.
- works great. tested it....snaps in, reads correctly, snaps out.

Flip toggles to release the oven door. Pull up on oven door to remove. Put door aside. Lift enamel bottom. Slide strait out. Remove aluminum shielding from around the igniter. Loosen igniter, unplug the igniter. Remove burner cowling. Plug in new igniter. Attach cowling to new igniter. Screw it all back in place. Stuff wiring connected back through the protective hole. Depress close door button and test. It takes about 10-15 seconds to ignite. Reinstall aluminum protector. Re install bottom enamel piece. Carfully slide oven door back on pegs and flip toggles to lock. Have a big glass of water and yell, Honey I fixed the oven!!

Removed top grate. Removed burner head . replaced with new burner head. Replaced grate.Very simple replacement. Old burner head was warped with age.
