How to order GE appliance parts?
To order parts for your GE JMP26 electric range, we recommend using your complete model number and serial number to match the exact replacement. If you need in-warranty parts or a part is out of stock, use GE’s parts support process and keep your appliance information handy.
What to have ready before you order
Having the right details prevents wrong-part returns and delays.
- Complete model number: JMP26 (use the full model tag from the range frame)
- Serial number (from the same tag)
- The part name and location (bake, broil, surface element, switch)
- The part ID if you already found it on our site (example: range bake element WB44X200)
- A quick symptom description (for troubleshooting-based ordering)
Common JMP26 parts customers order
These are frequent replacements on GE electric ranges like the JMP26.
| What’s not working | Part you may need | Example part ID |
|---|---|---|
| Oven won’t bake | Bake element | WB44X200 |
| Broil not heating | Broil element | WB44X173 |
| Small burner not heating | 6-in surface element | WB30X342 |
| Large burner not heating | 8-in surface element | WB30X348 |
| Burner heat won’t regulate | Infinite switch | WB21X36771 |
Ordering tips that prevent mistakes
- Match by model number first, then confirm the part ID and description.
- If a surface element isn’t heating, inspect the receptacle and wiring before ordering.
- If the oven heats unevenly or not at all, test the element for continuity before replacing.
- If you see an error code on the control, check GE freestanding range error codes to confirm the failure area before buying parts.
Why it matters
GE ranges often use similar-looking elements and switches across models; ordering by the exact JMP26 model identification helps ensure the electrical rating, mounting style, and connector type match your range.

How do I find the right GE part number?
To find the right GE part number for your GE electric range model JMP26, we match parts using the model number first, then confirm the exact part by location and description (bake, broil, surface element size, switch type). This prevents ordering a look-alike part that will not fit.
Step-by-step: the fastest way to get the correct part
- Find the model tag on the range (commonly on the oven frame behind the door, the storage drawer frame, or the back panel).
- Write the model number exactly as shown: JMP26.
- Identify what you are replacing and where it sits (oven cavity vs cooktop; left vs right; 6-in vs 8-in).
- Compare your old part to the listing details (shape, terminals, mounting points).
- If you are replacing a heating part, also check for heat damage at the wire connectors.
Common JMP26 part lookups (examples)
Use these as quick “starting points” when the symptom matches:
| What is not working? | Part type to look up | Example part for JMP26 |
|---|---|---|
| Oven bakes poorly or not at all | Bake element | Range bake element WB44X200 |
| Broil does not heat | Broil element | Broil unit WB44X173 |
| Small burner will not heat | 6-in surface element | Range surface element, 6-in WB30X342 |
| Large burner will not heat | 8-in surface element | Range coil surface element, 8-in WB30X348 |
| Burner heat is erratic | Infinite switch | Inf ht swi WB21X36771 |
Why it matters
GE ranges often use multiple similar-looking elements and switches across different series. Matching by model JMP26 plus size and position helps ensure proper wattage, correct terminals, and safe operation.

Why is my GE electric oven not heating up?
If your GE JMP26 electric range oven is not heating, the most common causes are a failed bake element, a failed broil element, or a problem in the temperature control circuit. We start by checking whether the elements heat at all, then test wiring and controls.
Quick checks (fast, no tools)
- Confirm the range has power: the display and surface burners should work normally.
- Set BAKE to 350°F and wait 2 to 3 minutes; look for heat from the lower element area.
- Set BROIL; the upper element should begin heating quickly.
- If the oven light and fan (if equipped) work but there is no heat, focus on the heating circuit.
- If the oven heats sometimes, suspect a loose connection or a failing control.
Most likely part failures on an electric range
In many no-heat situations, one of these parts is the root cause:
| Symptom | Most likely cause | What we typically replace |
|---|---|---|
| No bake heat, broil works | Bake element failed | Range bake element WB44X200 |
| No broil heat, bake works | Broil element failed | Broil unit WB44X173 |
| Neither bake nor broil heats | Power supply, wiring, or control issue | Switch/control diagnosis (model-specific) |
Safe troubleshooting steps (basic DIY)
- Shut off power at the breaker before inspecting or testing anything.
- Inspect the bake and broil elements for visible damage (blisters, cracks, burned spots).
- Check for a loose or burned wire connector at the element terminals.
- If you have a multimeter, check the element for continuity; an open circuit indicates a failed element.
- If both elements test good, troubleshoot the control and sensor circuits using a guided workflow such as oven wont heat troubleshooting electric range problems video.
Why it matters
An oven that will not heat is usually a straightforward repair, but replacing the wrong part wastes time and money. Verifying whether bake, broil, or both are out narrows the diagnosis quickly and points to the correct GE replacement part.

Where to find GE range model number?
On a GE electric range like model JMP26, we typically find the model number on the oven frame behind the door, on the drawer frame behind the storage drawer, under the lift-up cooktop, or on the back panel. Use that exact model number to match parts correctly.
Most common places to check
- Oven door frame: Open the oven door and look along the inner frame edge.
- Storage drawer area: Pull the bottom drawer out and check the frame behind it.
- Under the cooktop: If your cooktop lifts, raise it and look along the sides or near the hinge area.
- Back of the range: Check the rear panel near the power cord area.
- Side trim or lower front frame: Some units place the tag near a front corner.
What the tag looks like (and what to write down)
The tag is usually a sticker or metal plate. Record these items exactly:
| Item on tag | Why we need it |
|---|---|
| Model number | Ensures diagrams and parts match your exact build |
| Serial number | Helps confirm production series when parts changed |
| Electrical rating | Useful when diagnosing heating or power issues |
Why it matters
GE ranges often share similar styling across multiple model families. Using the exact model number prevents ordering the wrong bake element, broil element, or surface element.
If you are already troubleshooting a heating issue
Once you have the model number, these resources help narrow the cause quickly:
If you determine a heating component is failed, common replacements for this model family include the range bake element WB44X200 and broil unit WB44X173.
