How do I find the right GE part number?
For your GE JB258DM3BB electric range, the fastest way to get the right GE part number is to match the model number from the rating label to the exact part listing and diagram. On this model, the rating label is located on the front behind the range drawer (per the JB258DM3BB owner's manual).
Step-by-step: find the model and confirm the part
- Pull out the storage drawer and locate the rating label on the front frame behind it.
- Write down the model number (JB258DM3BB) and the serial number.
- Identify the part by function (for example: bake element, surface element, control board).
- Match the part using the model-specific parts list and diagram for JB258DM3BB.
- Double-check details that affect fit: color, size, and electrical rating (watts/volts) when shown.
Common examples for this model (to help you match the right listing)
If you already know what failed, these are examples of model-matched parts you may see for JB258DM3BB:

How much does it cost to replace a GE oven control board?
For a GE JB258DM3BB electric range, replacing the oven control board typically costs $150 to $350 for the part and $300 to $650 total with professional labor. Your final price depends on whether the issue is the control board itself or a related wiring, sensor, or power-supply problem.
Typical cost breakdown
| Cost item | DIY (parts only) | Pro repair (parts + labor) |
|---|---|---|
| Control board | $150 to $350 | $150 to $350 |
| Labor/diagnostic | $0 | $150 to $300 |
| Total typical | $150 to $350 | $300 to $650 |
What affects the price most
- Correct diagnosis: A failed board can look like a bad bake element, broil element, or temperature sensor.
- Part availability: In-stock parts usually reduce downtime and repeat service calls.
- Electrical condition: Loose or overheated connections at the terminal block can damage wiring and boards.
- DIY vs. pro: Pros often include diagnostic time and may warranty the repair.
- Extra parts: If connectors are heat-damaged, you may also need a harness or terminal block.
Parts that are commonly involved
If the display is dead, buttons do not respond, or the oven will not heat even though power is present, these model-matched parts are often checked during diagnosis:
- Range led oven control board (white) WB27X45466
- Range terminal block WB17T10011
- Range wire harness WB18X32636
Before you replace the board (quick checks)
- Confirm power is off at the breaker before touching wiring; follow the safety steps in the JB258DM3BB installation guide.
- Check for burnt smell, melted wire insulation, or discoloration at the terminal block.
- If the oven will not heat, inspect the bake element for visible damage; a failed element can mimic a control issue.
- If the range shows an error code, use the GE freestanding range error codes guide to narrow the failure.
Why it matters
The control board is the “brain” for oven temperature regulation and timing. Replacing it without confirming power delivery and related components can lead to repeat failures and higher total repair cost.

Why is my GE electric range not heating?
If your GE JB258DM3BB electric range has power (lights or display work) but the cooktop and oven will not heat, the most common causes are a tripped breaker or lost 240V supply, a burned connection at the terminal block, or a failed heating component such as an element or control.
Quick checks first (power and settings)
- Reset the range breaker: most electric ranges use a 2-pole breaker; one side can trip and leave you with lights but no heat.
- Confirm the cord is fully seated in a live outlet (if your installation uses a plug).
- Make sure the oven is not in Sabbath Mode (this can prevent normal operation); see the JB258DM3BB owner's manual.
- Try a simple bake test: set Bake to 350°F and wait 10 minutes; note whether the bake element glows or warms.
What to inspect if nothing heats
Turn off power at the breaker before removing panels.
- Terminal block and power cord connections: Look for melted plastic, discoloration, or loose lugs at the rear connection point. A damaged terminal block can stop all heating.
- Internal wiring: Check for burned or loose wire connections, especially where high current flows.
- Oven heating elements: A broken or blistered element often causes no-heat or weak-heat symptoms.
Common parts involved (by symptom)
| Symptom | Most likely area | Example part for this model |
|---|---|---|
| Display works, no cooktop heat | Power supply, terminal block, wiring | Range terminal block WB17T10011 |
| Oven will not bake (or heats poorly) | Bake circuit, element, control | Range bake element WB44X45495 |
| Oven will not broil | Broil circuit, element, control | Range broil element WB44X45498 |
Why it matters
An electric range can appear “on” with only 120V present, but heating requires full 240V. Fixing a supply or connection issue first prevents unnecessary part replacement and helps avoid overheated wiring.
