JKP27WP1 General Electric Wall Oven - Instructions

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

I cut of electric braker in fuse box, unscrewed two screws and replaced element in less than five minutes, really easy task. Oven worked well. Thank you Park Select, good job.

Used nut driver, removed 2 screws and removed old element. Reversed procedure for installion of new part. Can't believe ordered part one day & recieved it next day. Fantastic service. Will definitely call company again.

Installation was really easy. Remove the old bake element, plug the new one in, took at most 10 minutes.

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.

plug in thermistor when needed

I tried to unplug old element without success. Called appliance repair man and he pulled part way out, took hold of place where plugged in with pliers and unplugged. While holding back part of plug he plugged in new element--$60.00 later.

I am 68 years old and found that changing element was a breeze---using pliers removed nuts--unhooked bad element--rehooked new element---done------------recieved new element in 2 days--------- Thanks -----------------

After getting the part from PartSelect, which only took 2 days to get here and was in great condition and matched perfectly. I went to the customers house, shut off the power to the oven, removed the 2 screws holding in the element, pulled the element out and removed the leads. Took the new element and put the leads on the contacts, pushed the wires and leads back into the hole and screwed in the 2 screws. Went outside and turned the breaker back on, went and turned the oven on to broil, waited a few seconds and it heated up perfectly, and the customer was real happy. She said it was great that she could bake again. Thank you guys for sending the right part in a timely manner and good condition, it keeps my customers happy and keeps me in business. Joe

Ordered new probe

After turning off power, I removed the two screws and pulled the element and wires out, removed the wires and then attached them to the new element and replaced the screws. However, this did NOT correct the problem. The broiler did not work until I tried several times turning it on and off. It then worked once but then did not. It worked once more after several tries. I then called a repairman suspecting the control board. He confirmed this and tested the old element which was in good working order after all. A new board has been ordered.

The whole job took about 20 min. TURN POWER OFF AT CIRCUIT BREAKER!! Remove 4 screws from the convection cover, then 2 more holding in the broiler element, disconnect 2 wires, and connect to the new one. put the screws back in, the cover back on the convection element and you are done!

1. shut power off (if it is a built in you will have to go to the house control panel to shut the power off). To ensure that it is off check the clock light prior and after you throw the switch it now should be off. 2. remove screws holding ovens in cabinet should be 8 (Phillips)on the sides of the ovens inside, you have to have to have the doors open to remove 4 top and 4 bottom 3. slide ovens out of cabinet about 4 to 6 inches (do not pull on doors) open the bottom door reach inside of oven and slide to the left and the right while gently lifting. 4. close the bottom door and open the top door. above the door and below the control panel you should see at least 3 screws I removed them with a socket and ratchet, but you can use a wrench or adjustable wrench. 5. on top of the panel you should see two screws (Phillips) on one on each side. remove the screws. 6. The control panel has a small tab in the middle of it, you will now be able to lift the cover that the tab is slid into (tin this is the top of the oven) while you hold the tin cover up about 1/4 inch hold on to the panel tipping the bottom out this should release the tab and allow you to pull the control panel out. Now close the top door and the panel should rest on the handle of the door. 7. looking into the top of oven you should see two limit switches (they are round with two screws holding them down with two wires that slide on the tabs) One of these in my case the one on the right runs the fan while the one in the center runs the door lock. To determine if the switch is faulty remove one of the wires from one of the limit switches and either tape or use a clamp or even a paper clip so the wires on the same limit switch will be touching. 8. now carefully put the control panel back tipping the bottom out to insert the tab in the top cover and put in one of the screws to hold it in place. 9. turn on the power check to see if the door lock is working correctly and the door lock light is out. If it is not working and you hear the fan running then you have jumped the wrong switch. If this is the case shut the power off then return the wire back on the jumped switch and repeat the process with the other limit switch. 10. after you jumped the correct switch the door lock light is off. Check the system with the power on by putting the oven in the self cleaning cycle. The door lock light should start to flash and after the door locks it will stay on steady. Press the stop or off button the door lock light will begin to flash and when the lock is released the door lock light should go out. If the door has been pulled on or forced open the locking device can strip and will only go so far with out locking the door. You will then have to remove the locking device with the motor and replace the motor. With the switch jumped and everything is working then this is the problem shut the power off and replace the switch. Caution there are two limit switches in the bottom oven also one with a reset that is about $50 it is bigger and will not bolt down. The one that is in mine is smaller and cost about $23 make sure that you order the correct one shown in the diagram provided by Parts select. 11. reinstall the control panel should be 3 screws on the bottom and 2 on the top. Open the top oven door and carefully slide the oven back in place pushing on the sides do not push on the oven door. Attach the cabinet screws 8 turn on the power.
