GE CES700M2N2S5 slide-in electric range Parts

For your GE CES700M2N2S5 slide-in electric range, the right part number comes from matching the exact model number first, then confirming the part by name and diagram location before ordering. This prevents look-alike parts (elements, boards, fans) from being swapped by mistake.

Step-by-step: how we match the correct part

• Confirm the model number is CES700M2N2S5 (use the full model, not a partial).
• Identify the system you are repairing: cooktop, oven, door, cooling, or wiring.
• Match the part by function and description, not just by appearance.
• Cross-check the part in the model’s parts list and diagram callouts.
• Verify electrical parts by rating and connector style (power off first).
• Order using the exact GE part number/ID shown for the model.

Common examples for this model (CES700M2N2S5)

If you already know what failed, these are examples of model-matched parts you may see listed:

What’s not working	Part type to look for	Example part for this model
Oven not heating evenly or not baking	Bake element	Range bake element WB44X45499
Control panel area gets too hot or fan is noisy	Control panel cooling fan	Range control panel cooling fan WB26X29468
Surface burner not heating	Radiant surface element	Range radiant surface element, 8-in WB30T10132
Oven functions act erratic	Relay/control board	Range oven relay control board WB27X29202

Quick checks before you order

Visual and symptom checks

• Burn marks, melted terminals, or a loose connection at the terminal block
• A surface element that stays cold while others work
• A cooling fan that never runs (or runs constantly)
• An oven that heats on broil but not bake (often points to the bake element)

Electrical confirmation (when appropriate)

Use a meter to confirm an open element or failed switch/board before replacing parts. Our guide how to use a multimeter to test electrical parts video walks through safe, basic testing steps.

Why it matters

GE ranges often use multiple similar-looking components (especially radiant elements and control boards). Matching by model number + exact part ID avoids returns, repeat repairs, and wiring damage from incorrect fitment.

To order parts for your GE CES700M2N2S5 slide-in electric range, use the complete model number and match the exact part ID before checkout. You can order directly from the parts list for CES700M2N2S5; for ordering help, contact Sears PartsDirect support.

Fastest way to order the right part

• Confirm the full model number: CES700M2N2S5 (use the complete number, not a partial).
• Identify the failed part by symptom (no heat, uneven baking, dead burner, no display).
• Match the part by part ID/part number, not just by description.
• Compare your old part to the listing (connectors, mounting points, size).
• Order any one-time-use hardware you may need during reassembly (screws, nuts).

Common CES700M2N2S5 parts customers replace

Why it matters

Ordering by the exact model number and part ID prevents fit and wiring mismatches, which is especially important on a slide-in electric range where elements, control boards, and harness connections can vary by revision.

To replace the oven temperature sensor on your GE CES700M2N2S5 slide-in electric range, we shut off power, remove the sensor’s mounting screw inside the oven, pull the sensor forward, disconnect the wire connector, then reconnect and reinstall the new sensor the same way.

Safety first (do this before touching anything)

• Turn off the range at the circuit breaker (240V); do not rely on the control panel being “off”.
• Confirm the oven is completely cool.
• Protect the oven liner with a towel so you do not scratch porcelain.
• Use gloves; sheet metal edges behind panels can be sharp.
• If the connector slips back into the insulation, stop and retrieve it carefully before restoring power.

Step-by-step: replacing the sensor

1. Kill power at the breaker.
2. Open the oven door and locate the sensor probe (typically a thin metal rod on the rear oven wall).
3. Remove the mounting screw holding the sensor flange.
4. Gently pull the sensor toward you a few inches to expose the wire connector.
5. Disconnect the plug by pressing the locking tab (do not pull on the wires).
6. Connect the new sensor to the harness until it clicks.
7. Tuck the connector back through the opening so it will not touch hot surfaces.
8. Reinstall the screw, restore power, then test bake.

Quick troubleshooting after replacement

• Oven still heats wrong: run a bake test with an oven thermometer; calibration settings can also affect results.
• No heat or error code: recheck the connector seating and look for pinched wires.
• Breaker trips: inspect for damaged wiring; use how to repair broken or damaged wires video.

What you’ll need

Item	Typical size/type	Why you need it
Screwdriver	Phillips or 1/4-in nut driver	Remove sensor mounting screw
Gloves	Cut-resistant	Protect hands
Flashlight	Any	See connector and routing
Multimeter (optional)	Ohms setting	Verify sensor resistance

Why it matters

A failing oven temperature sensor can cause underbaking, overbaking, long preheat times, or temperature swings. Replacing it restores accurate feedback to the control board so the bake and broil elements cycle correctly.

For a GE CES700M2N2S5 slide-in electric range, the reliable “reset” is a power reset: turn the range circuit breaker OFF for 60 seconds, then turn it back ON. This clears many control glitches after a power outage or a keypad lockup.

Quick reset steps (power reset)

• Turn OFF the range breaker (usually a 240V double-pole breaker).
• Wait 60 seconds.
• Turn the breaker ON.
• If the display shows a clock, set the time.
• Test Bake and a surface element to confirm normal operation.

If the breaker reset does not fix it

These checks help narrow down whether you have a power supply issue, a control issue, or a failed component.

• Confirm the range is getting full power (a partial power loss can leave lights on but prevent heating).
• If the control panel is unresponsive or keeps rebooting, inspect wiring connections at the terminal block.
• If the oven will not heat but the display works, the bake circuit or control may be the issue.
• If the cooktop element will not heat, the surface element or switch circuit may be the issue.
• If the range overheats around the controls or shows cooling-related symptoms, check the cooling fan system.

Common symptoms and likely next step

What you see	What it often points to	What we check next
Display blank, no beeps	No power to range	Breaker, outlet/junction box, wiring
Display on, oven will not heat	Heating circuit or control	Range bake element WB44X45499, control output
Cooktop burner not heating	Surface element circuit	Range radiant surface element, 8-in WB30T10132 or switch
Fan runs a lot, control area very hot	Cooling system issue	Range control panel cooling fan WB26X29468 and airflow

Why it matters

A breaker reset is the safest first step because it clears the electronic control without disassembly. If the problem returns quickly, the pattern of symptoms helps us pinpoint whether you need a heating element, a cooling fan, or a control-related part.
