Bake Element Removal - GE JB960 B Technical Service Manual

HIDDEN BAKE ELEMENT
The bake element is located underneath the
oven liner (hidden bake), where it is protected
from spillage and oven cleaning agents which
can shorten the life of the element.
The bake element is accessible from the left side
(facing the unit) of the range. To access the bake
element, carefully remove the range from its in-
stallation taking care to protect the customer's
floor.

Bake Element Removal:

1. Remove power to the unit.
2. Remove the cooktop following the instruc-
tions outlined on page 14.
3. Remove the seven screws shown in the
illustration to the right.
4. At the front corner of the panel, near the
leveling leg, is a hidden screw. Access to
this screw is obtained by removing the stor-
age drawer. From inside the storage
drawer area, located just above the left
front leveling leg (as you face the unit), are
two 1 inch holes. If you shine a light into
the top hole you will be able to see the ¼
inch hex screw that will need to be re-
moved, in order to remove the side panel.
5. Facing side of the panel, grasp the front
and rear portion of the panel. Pull the rear
of the panel towards you (A) approximately
2-3 inches, while lifting upwards on the front
of the panel (B) approximately 1 inch. No-
tice in the illustration to the right that the
panel is held to the range frame with 2 ny-
lon grommets (top and center of panel),
which fit into holes in the side panel. By
lifting upwards on the front panel (B), while
at the same time pulling the panel towards
you (C), you are able to disengage the
panel from the rubber grommets.
