JT910SY1SS General Electric Wall Oven - Instructions

Removed oven from wall. Door slides up and off, and 4 screws into cabinet removed, and oven slides right out onto a coulple kitchen chairs positioned to support the oven. 1 man job to lift. Used nutdriver to remove metal cover on bottom back of oven to expose the slide on electrical connection. Used nutdriver to remove old bake element and install new bake element. Reconnected electrical wires, reinstalled back cover, and then reinstalled oven into cabinet. I actually removed the internal metal cover over the convection fan and element also but probably didn't need to do that to remove and install the new bake element.

1. Switch electricity off at circuit breaker panel. 2. With a helper slide door off hinges and set aside. 3. Remove all oven racks. 4. Using socket wrench remove the two screws attaching element to back of stove. 5. Pull the element from the back of the stove and slide off the 2 electric bayonet clips from the old element. 6. Install new element attaching the new element to the old electrical clips. Note: You may have to crimp down the clips to keep them secure to the new element. 7. Reinstall element screws to back of stove using nutdriver. 8. Insert racks and slide door back onto hinges. 9. Turn back on electricity. 10. Turn on element and let it "burn in" for a few minutes. Note: There will be a slight smell while doing this.

removed twoscrews from rear of oven,undid two spade connections removed element.replaced with new one,thats it.

Replaced the Oven light housing. Unscrewed the two screws that hold the housing in place. Pulled out the housing and disconnected the wire tabs from the light housing tabs. Slid the wire tabs onto the tabs of the new light housing fixture. (Each tab is fitted to the tab in goes on so they can not be mixed up) Pushed the housing fixture back into place and screwed the housing into place.

Ordered new probe

After turning off the electricity, remove the inside rear panel over the fan by removing 4 screws, remove the 2 screws holding in the old heat element. Unscrew the unit from the cabinet by removing 4 wood screws on the front sides. Pull the unit out of the cabinet, I slid it onto 2) 4 x4 pieces of wood to make the reinstall easier. Remove the lower black panel on the outside back, it should have 2 screws and it slides into 2 notches on the back. The back of the element electrical tabs are exposed, pull off the 2 electrical connectors. From the inside carefully pull out the old element, slide the new one in the same space and secure with the 2 screws removed earlier. Attach the 2 electrical clips to the electrical tabs exposed in back and replace the metal cover. Slide the oven back into the cabinet, replace the interior back panel as it was removed and secure the front screws back into the cabinet. Turn on the power and test !

plug in thermistor when needed

This repair was quite a bit more difficult then what had been described on the web site. First off, I have a double wall oven that is built in. Sliding it out of the cabinet was difficult and because oven was hard wired, I had to disconnect the actual wiring from the oven back. . Positioning the oven and allowing for it to rest on a support bench was the most difficult part The oven is heavy. Eventually, removing the back and top panels of the oven revealed the sensor connection. I was then able to feed it through the oven and reconnect all the wiring harnesses.. Getting the oven back in the cabinet was equally a challenge. But it did seem to fix the problem with over heating.

Pulled out old with pliers. Twisted new clips in per instructions.

I ordered the correct oven rack thru Part Select's customer service. They helped me get the correct part info. Once it came I slid it in the oven and viola it was a perfect fit!

Took back panel off unplugged sensor and replugged in and worked like a charm!Sears wanted $400 and was going to 'overrepair"Got the 60 dollar part on here. UPS shipped to wrong address and customer service refunded my shipping and was excellent! would definetly use again!thanks

Feedback on site warned me that broiler element is only connected to oven wiring with press-on spade lugs rather than screws. Even with care I managed to 'lose' a wire and had to retrieve it with section of stiff coat-hanger wire bent into a hook. Coming off that experience, I soldered the spade terminals together before reassembly to avoid a repeat. New element, however, failed to rectify problem. Professional technician found main control unit defective -- a $300 part including installation, but at least GE still has it available. My advice to others in this situation is to remove old element before ordering a replacement, and test with meter to see if it's defective. It may or may not be worth going beyond an element replacement to you.

The part was just like the old one and would have been an easy fix except our range suffered from a lighting hit. The clips had melted together. Called a dealer and asked about a new wiring harness. He said in those cases just cut the clip off and hard wire with wire clips,or firecrackers. We used wire nuts and taped all together and the oven works just great. Nothing is ever as easy as it should be.
