REPLACING CONTROL ON ELECTRIC RANGE

Nov 30, 2003 2 Replies

Hi All,



I have a 12 year old GE electric oven/range combo, model # J HP56N



0K1AD. I need to replace one of the burner controls--It stays on "high" regardless of what position it is in. My problem is that I cannot get the control panel off of the range. There is 1 screw on the bottom, and 1 on the top that appear to hold the control panel on. The bottom one is easy to remove, but the top one is blocked. I have put a picture of the range on the web at

Maybe these 2 screws do not hold the panel on--maybe it's clipped on--I thought of that also, but pulling on the panel gets me nowhere. Has anyone out there ever worked on one of these ???



Thanks,


RON

Hi,

This might help...

If memory is correct, outer front chrome trim comes off, knobs and glass come off to gain access to the consol/metal piece where the switchs are attached to.

Are you sure this unit is only 12 years old? I had a Litton unit that looked almost identical to yours and it was manufactured in 1979.
