I have a GE JT915SOK5SS oven On bake it will only get in the range of about 250 degrees. IN convection, it will not get above 100. On Broil, it seems to work fine. I'm guessing it's the bottom element, but had the thought that it could be a sensor as well. Thought I'd post here before digging into it later today. (FWIW: I'd rate my skill level as high DIY. I've replaced parts on fridge, several on under cabinet ice maker, etc. and many electronics repairs. Oven is a first) thanks in advance.

GE Profile wall oven Model JPT20BF Hope this isn't too wordy. New at the forum thing... Scenario: Someone gave me a nice working GE Profile wall oven model JTP20 Existing Magic Chef (worked just fine) oven is hardwired along with the electric range top to (two) hots (10ga I believe) and one 10ga stranded aluminum as ground in a 100amp SUB Panel. The 400amp main panel is on the other side of the house. The sub panel is in the garage. Problem: 1. I removed the magic chef oven to replace it with the GE Profile. I wired the ground to the ground from the feed and ignored the white neutral. 2. Before pushing it into the cabinet space I tested everything and it all worked fine. I shut off the breaker, pushed it into the wall, turned on the breaker and nothing. No lights, no clock. the range top works but absolutely no lights on the oven. No way to reset the oven (according to manual) because there are no lights. 3. Shut off the breaker for 10 minutes and tried again. Nothing. range works fine (both wired together in gang box). 4. I pulled the oven figuring I had a loose connection. All good. tested both leads are hot. 5. Tested power from the romex at the junction box and going into the oven's interior connection. There's 240 power all the way through. 120 on each leg to ground. 6. Gave up and re-installed the old magic chef oven. Turned on the breaker and now THAT oven doesn't work either!!! No lights! Nothing. The range top still works fine. 7. I find it hard to believe I burnt both controller boards but I've done worse in my life. Last effort: I have a 240 outlet in the garage on a separate circuit. I bought a 50A plug to match, attached it to the GE profile and plugged it in. Nothing. Haven't tried the magic chef yet. Should I try connecting the white neutral to the feed ground instead of the ground? Humbled and hoping someone can help.

Last night, the missus put the oven in self-cleaning mode. The oven started making a rattling noise as if a pack of live squirrels were being incinerated. This morning, the squirrels are still banging around the oven and the door is stuck in the locked position. The only way to end the racket was to remove the bottom drawer and pull the electrical connector. I thought this might reset the oven, but no luck. Searching the forum, I see that self cleaning is the kiss of death. Did the wife murder the oven last night? Also, is there any harm in using the stove top, with the electrical unplugged? I know the igniter won't work, but otherwise it seems OK. Thank you, and happy new year!

We recently found a ge oven model 317b6641p001. Someone had remove the spark module. Anyone know where an inexpensive module can be gotten? Thanks.
