GE Oven & Range Not Heating

GE ovens and ranges are particularly susceptible to heating failures due to their reliance on older-style bake elements and mechanical igniter systems that haven't been updated significantly across model generations. Unlike Samsung or LG units that moved to newer ceramic heating technologies, GE has maintained their traditional coil-style bake elements which are prone to burnout at the element coil connections. The company's cost-conscious manufacturing approach means many GE models from 2010-2020 use lower-grade igniters that weaken over time, especially in the JB and JGS series ranges.

GE's electronic control boards, particularly the WB27T series boards, are notorious for relay failures that prevent proper voltage delivery to heating elements. This is compounded by GE's placement of control boards near heat sources in many Profile and Café series models, causing premature component failure. The brand's oven temperature sensors also tend to drift out of calibration more frequently than competitors, often reading 25-50 degrees lower than actual temperature, triggering the control system to shut down heating cycles prematurely.
