Error Codes
How do I find the right GE part number?
To find the right GE part number for your electric range, we match parts using your exact model number (JKP06) from the appliance ID tag, then confirm the part by name and location (for example, bake vs. broil). This prevents ordering a lookalike part that will not fit.
Step 1: Find the model number on the range
Look for a printed model/serial tag in one of these common spots:
- Inside the oven door frame (open the door and check the front frame)
- Along the lower drawer frame (if your range has a storage/warming drawer)
- On the back panel of the range
- Behind the control panel area (less common)
Write the model number exactly as shown, including any letters or extra digits.
Step 2: Use the model number to choose the correct part
Once you have the model number, confirm the part using both the part name and the part ID.
Here are two common oven-heating parts listed for model JKP06:
| What it does | Part name (as listed) | Part ID |
|---|---|---|
| Heats the oven for baking | Range Bake Element | WB44X200 |
| Heats the oven for broiling | Broil Unit | WB44X173 |
If your symptom is “oven will not heat,” start by identifying whether bake, broil, or both are affected; that points you to the right circuit and part.
Quick checks before ordering
These checks help confirm you are replacing the correct component:
- Verify whether the oven heats on broil but not bake (often the bake element)
- Look for visible damage: blisters, cracks, or burn spots on the element
- Confirm the element mounting style and terminal location match your original
- If the element looks fine, consider testing for power at the element terminals (power off before accessing wiring)
Why it matters
GE ranges can use different element styles and electrical connections across similar-looking models. Using the exact model number (JKP06) plus the correct part ID helps ensure proper fit, safe operation, and normal preheat performance.

How much does it cost to replace a GE oven control board?
For a GE electric range like model JKP06, replacing the oven control board typically costs $150 to $600 total: about $100 to $400 for the control board plus $50 to $200 for labor, depending on the exact board, service rates, and whether wiring or a relay board is also involved.
What changes the price the most
- Exact control board type (clock/timer, ERC, touch panel, or combined assembly)
- New vs. refurbished board availability
- Service call minimums (common even for quick swaps)
- Diagnosis time (confirming the board vs. sensor, wiring, or element issue)
- Any related parts needed (burnt harness connector, overlay, mounting hardware)
Typical cost breakdown
| Item | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Control board part | $100 to $400 | Some assemblies run higher if discontinued or bundled |
| Labor | $50 to $200 | Often 0.5 to 1.5 hours plus trip charge |
| Total installed | $150 to $600 | Higher if multiple parts are replaced |
Before you buy a control board
A “dead” or inaccurate oven is often caused by a heating or sensing problem, not the board. We recommend these quick checks first:
- Confirm the range has 240 VAC supply (a tripped breaker can leave you with partial power)
- If the oven will not heat, inspect the bake and broil elements for visible damage
- Check for error codes and symptoms using GE manual cleaning range error codes
- If the oven heats unevenly or will not reach temp, test the bake element and broil element circuits
If the oven is not heating at all, a failed element is a common, lower-cost fix for this model family:
Why it matters
Replacing the wrong part is the fastest way to turn a simple repair into an expensive one. Verifying power, elements, and error codes first helps you confirm the control board is actually the failure point and keeps repair costs predictable.

How to order GE appliance parts?
To order parts for your GE electric range model JKP06, order by the complete model number and match the exact part ID to your range. You can order directly from the parts list for JKP06; for help with out-of-stock items, contact Sears PartsDirect support.
The fastest way to order the right part
- Find the full model number on the range’s model tag (often on the oven frame behind the door).
- Use the model number JKP06 to confirm you are viewing the correct parts list.
- Match the failed part by part ID (not just a description).
- If the part is in stock, order it directly once you confirm the ID.
- If the part is out of stock or you need ordering help, contact Sears PartsDirect support.
Commonly ordered oven heating parts for JKP06
If your oven will not heat, heats unevenly, or broil does not work, these are two common replacements for this model:
| Oven function | Part to check/replace | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Broil (top heat) | Broil unit WB44X173 | No broil, weak broil, slow browning |
| Bake (bottom heat) | Range bake element WB44X200 | No bake, long preheat, uneven baking |
Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part
- Compare the old part’s shape and terminal location to the replacement.
- Confirm whether the issue is bake vs. broil (symptoms can look similar).
- If the range shows an error code, diagnose the cause before buying parts.
Why it matters
Ordering by the exact JKP06 model and the correct GE part ID helps ensure fit and electrical compatibility, which reduces returns and gets your electric range heating correctly again.

How to reset a GE electric stove?
To reset a GE electric range like model JKP06, we reset power to the electronic control by turning the range’s circuit breaker OFF for 1 minute, then turning it back ON. This clears many temporary control glitches and restores normal operation.
Reset steps (safe, standard power reset)
- Turn all oven and surface controls OFF.
- At your home electrical panel, switch the range breaker OFF (or remove the fuse).
- Wait 60 seconds.
- Switch the breaker ON (or reinstall the fuse).
- Set Bake and confirm the oven begins heating.
What to check after the reset
If the range still will not heat or respond, these quick checks narrow down the cause:
- Display is blank: confirm the breaker is fully seated; some breakers look ON when tripped.
- Clock resets but no heat: a failed heating element is common.
- Broil works but bake does not: suspect the range bake element WB44X200.
- Bake works but broil does not: suspect the broil unit WB44X173.
- Error code appears: use our GE manual cleaning range error codes reference to interpret the code family.
Common symptoms and likely causes
| Symptom | What it usually points to | What we do next |
|---|---|---|
| No power, no display | Tripped breaker, wiring issue | Verify breaker, then inspect power cord/junction box |
| Oven won’t heat | Failed bake or broil element | Visual inspection for blisters/breaks; test continuity |
| Heats slowly or unevenly | Weak element, calibration issue | Check element condition; verify temperature accuracy |
| Error code after reset | Control sensing a fault | Identify code, then test the related circuit |
Why it matters
A power reset is the fastest way to clear a “locked up” electronic control without replacing parts. If heating still fails after a reset, focusing on the bake and broil circuits prevents unnecessary control board swaps.
