GE Range Repair – HARTVILLE, OH (JGBS60DEK4WW)

We completed an oven repair on Fern Ave NW in Hartville, OH for a customer whose GE range wasn’t heating. The oven does not heat up was the complaint, and our diagnosis revealed a weak bake igniter that wasn’t drawing enough current to open the gas valve.

The Problem

The customer reported that their oven does not heat up. The range would go through the motions of trying to light, but no heat was being produced in the oven cavity.

Diagnosis

Testing revealed the bake igniter pulling 2.6 amps when it should be 3.2-3.6. At this reduced amperage, the igniter wasn’t getting hot enough to signal the gas valve to open, preventing the oven from heating properly.

The Repair

• Parts replaced: WB13K21 — IGNITOR OVEN
• Work performed: Replaced igniter
• Result: Good to go. Ignited in 40 seconds, preheated in

Is It Worth Repairing?

GE ranges are generally reliable appliances that respond well to repair. An igniter replacement is one of the more common and cost-effective repairs for gas ovens. This model should provide many more years of service with the new igniter installed.

Maintenance Tips for GE Ranges

• Keep the oven cavity clean to prevent debris from interfering with igniter operation
• Check that burner grates and drip pans are properly positioned to ensure even heating
• Avoid using harsh cleaners on the igniter itself — gentle cleaning prevents premature failure
