GE JXDV6601 gas built-in cooktop Parts

You only need a downdraft on your GE JXDV6601 cooktop if you do not have effective overhead ventilation (like a hood) or your kitchen layout makes a hood impractical. Downdraft ventilation is mainly a space-saving choice; it is not required for the cooktop to operate.

A downdraft system is a good fit when you want ventilation without a large hood or you cannot vent from above.

• Your cooktop is on an island or peninsula with no easy place for a hood
• You have limited wall space, cabinets, or sightlines you want to keep open
• You want a low-profile look and are willing to trade some capture performance
• You mostly do light cooking (simmering, low smoke, low grease)
• You already have ducting routed under the floor or through a cabinet base

If you already have good ventilation, adding downdraft is usually unnecessary.

• You have a properly sized, working range hood that vents outdoors
• You frequently use high heat (searing, stir-fry) and need stronger smoke capture
• Your cookware is tall (stockpots) and you want better plume capture from above

Ventilation affects indoor air quality, cabinet cleanliness, and how comfortable your kitchen feels during high-heat cooking. Choosing the right setup helps reduce lingering odors, grease film, and excess humidity.

Downdraft setups often involve mechanical and mounting components that must fit your cabinet and duct path. If you are repairing or reassembling the cooktop area, using the correct fasteners and hardware helps prevent vibration and alignment issues.

• For hardware used in mounting and securing assemblies, match the original part exactly
• If you are replacing missing fasteners, use the parts list for your model to avoid thread or length mismatches
• For general DIY readiness and safe work habits, review are diy appliance repairs safe

GE model JXDV6601 is a built-in cooktop, not a freestanding electric range with a hinged, lift-up top. To access internal components on this cooktop, we remove the cooktop from the counter and then remove the underside cover or mounting hardware rather than lifting a top panel.

• Turn off power at the breaker (and shut off the gas supply valve if your installation has one).
• Let the cooktop cool completely.
• Protect the countertop with towels or cardboard.
• Take photos of wire routing and screw locations before disassembly.

1. Shut off power at the breaker.
2. Remove grates, burner caps, and knobs (as applicable).
3. From below the counter, remove the mounting brackets or fasteners holding the cooktop to the countertop.
4. Lift the cooktop straight up out of the cutout with help (avoid pulling on wiring).
5. Set it upside down on a protected surface.
6. Remove the bottom cover to reach switches, wiring, and components (hardware like a screw WB1X5765 is commonly used on GE assemblies).

• Check for screws at the front corners or side brackets.
• Cut through any old sealant carefully; a cooktop can be lightly adhered to the counter.
• Confirm the power cord or conduit has enough slack before lifting.

Using the correct built-in cooktop removal method prevents cracked countertops, bent frames, and pinched wiring, and it gives you safe access for cleaning, inspection, or electrical troubleshooting.
