JCKS05GS-1 General Electric Range - Instructions

You are supposed to be able to just pop them on. Got one on the two others will not go on.
Help!

The reason the brackets didn't go on to the handle far enough was there was a molding defect inside one of the brackets. After alot of scraping at the inside of the bracket and lightly tapping with a soft hammer I was able to get the defective bracket on so that the holes lined up to the mounting plate. As for the extra nipples I had two options. Either cut the nipples off or drill some holes in the metal plate that the brackets attach to. I chose the latter. I had to attach the brackets to the plate with extra long screws, reach in under the bracket with a scribe and mark the nipple location on the plate. Then I removed the handle and drilled two holes for each bracket. After some minor adjustments to the holes I was able to attach both brackets and reassemble the oven door.

removed the broken parts and screwed on the new parts.

Very detailed repair instructions on internet made installation of new end caps a job not needing a professioal.

Removed door from oven. Removed all side screws and pulled front assembly from door. Discarded old screws and broken plastic pieces. Put old handle in new end caps and lined them up with screw entry holes. It took 2 people to hold the door up while pressing in the screws to enter the new plastic receivers on the end caps. A pretty easy fix.

Pull door from oven and place on flat work surface. Remove bottom screws then the top screws and separate the two halves of the door . Remove broken door handles and replace reassemble door and place back on oven. The hardest thing was to clean the grease out of the inside of the door and get the glass clean to reassemble the door.

repair was easy and the video was very good. My only problem, I had to go buy a tool, I did not have a nut driver.

Turned off power to oven. Lifted off the oven door. Removed four 1/4 " bolts from outside of fan housing. Removed two 1/4" bolts holding element. Removed element from three clips holding it to upper oven surface. Unplugged two element wires. Reassembly was the reverse. I am an auto mechanic by trade and this was a fairly simple process.

unscrewed broken end cap, removed from handle and replaced the new end cap

Slide oven door off slides and put oven door on table. Removed 2 torx-20 screws from top of oven door on the inside. Remove 4 sheet medal screws from the bottom of door 1/4' socket heads. The inside of the door will now separate from the front of door.Now you can see 2 screws on each side of the door handle end caps on 1/4 " socket heads. Remove the 2 screws on which ever side is broken and remove old end cap and side new one on an install 2 screw. When you put door back together there are 2 spring steel spacers that fall off the top 2 screws that hold the inside and outside at the proper space! Parts Select service is EXCELLENT!!!!!

When i finally got the right part.It only took few minutes to screw in and it worked perfectly.Customer support was very helpful in finding the correct part.thanks

I thought because the broiler was off that I could remove the element with not problem. As I was pulling the element out, it sparked, melting something in the back I couldn't see at the time. I immediately went to the breaker box and turned the power to the oven off. After I found the website online I was very gratified to see how easy it was to identify the element I needed and order it. I removed the old element. One of the wires from the element slipped through the hole in the back of the oven. To get at it I had to unscrew the four screws around the outside edge of the oven and pull the whole oven out. I had a table handy that I pulled up next to the oven and set it on without disconnecting the main wiring. After getting the oven out I removed the six or so screws on the coverplate and easily found the loose wire. I pushed the wire back through the hole in the back of the oven and made sure it would not fall back into the hole. I put the back plate on with all its screws; pushed the oven back into its hole and screwed the four screws in around the edge that hold the oven in. Then I attatched the broiler element to the spade connectors and screwed it back in place. I turned the breaker switch back on and tested it. It works.

I simply removed the two screws but the back of the element holding it in place and pulled the element out far enough to clearly see the wiring. (TURN OFF THE ELECTRICTY TO THE OVEN). Gently pull the snap connectors off the element leads and snap them on the replacement element, push wiring back into oven opening, tighten down screws, clean up and close the door. Turn electricty back on and start the oven. It will smell for a few moinutes while the element heats up for the first time. You are good to go. To Easy

It was easy as pie. Just followed the instructions.

Bake element was glowing. . . Then by the morning, a "cancer-like" thingy traveled the length of it!after kicking off the breaker, I brought the broil down to the bake>. It worked (not recomended>. . But it worked for me). Came the new element, in 2 days. . . And all is back (the broil slots didn't line up so it was a redneck install at best til I got it back to normal). They should add the owner's faces to mt rushmore! Bless you all!
