20 Most Recent GE 30 in. JGP336 Gas Cooktop - Page 3 Questions & Answers

First i should say it is very dangerous to preform gas appliance service if you are not trained. if you have evin the slightest question in your own abilities ALWAYS call in the pro's. However I think I can help. 1st turn off and disconnect gas. remove cook top from counter and lay on towel top down. Sense this is glass top there is no service from top. there are a series of screws that go around the perimeter of bottom. remove these screws. The bottom should lift away. this will allow you to change components. hope this helps and good luck.

It is possible that once the unit dries out the clicking will stop. If it doesn't, you will need to call someone to have the problem addressed. You will need a spark module and or an ignition switch(s).

You must close the gas valve orifice. There is a gas valve (silver or grey colored rectangular shaped piece which feeds the burner(s)) that has a brass or gold-colored hex nut. This nut (1/2 inch) needs to be tighten down clockwise to the stop point. This will regulate the flame.

Disconnect power before dissassembly. I believe on your model you will have to remove the burner caps and burner heads, then the screws you find under them. (either small phillips, or more likely small torx) You can disconnect spark ignitors then if you like. You may then just have to dry things out, most likely at the burner ignition switches on the burner valve stems.

Are the other 2 burners lighting with the spark? If so the other 2 are either shorting before the burners or the sparkers are faulty.

To service, the cooktop needs to be completely removed from the bench and disconnected from the gas as the access is from the bottom.

I could step you through it while watching, but to do it this way is not a good idea. It's probably worth ringing a serviceman.

The cook top should be bolted to the counter. Look under and look for brackets that attach the bottom of the cooktop to the sides of the counter. and also the model number should be somewere underneath. If you can get me the Model number I can get you the maintenance manual in PDF format.

It's is normal for the ignitors not to work when wet, once they dry they should work. The best thing is to check the electric sending unit, they are a small white kind of square that goes on the switch, just lift the knobs and take the cover of the switches and you should see the sending units righ on the rod that hold the knobs, they have to small wires attached to them, It seems to me that thats were your problem is.
Do you hear the click clik when you put the knob on LITE??

You can't modify gas appliances.

I have an early 1970s GE, and we keep saying when it breaks down, we will replace it, but apart from replacing elements, it just goes on and on. Unfortunately, neither of your numbers give results. There should be a plate near the power lead that has the details and some have a parts manual and wiring diagram in the rear of the console if it has one. https://www.google.com/search?q=GE+82212+cooktop https://www.google.com/search?q=GE+YT123887L+cooktop ..

Question edited for clarity. There is no fuse, the loads are too great. The Service Manual is in the link. Check the Control Lock on Page 11. https://ja.safe-manuals.com/source/pdf/adea1af72b5b020af66562d603ff2631 https://www.google.com/search?q=ge+pp975s+fuse+location ....

It is a gas appliance. From the installation manual. Installation and service must be performed by a qualified installer, service agency or the gas supplier. It needs to come out as there is almost certainly fixings from below. Screws on the burners, only hold the burner rings down. The installation manual doesn't say how the top comes off, just how to install. No Service Manual for it. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/57348/Ge-Jgp630.html?page=1#manual ..

Take out the right front burner and use your multimeter to check it for continuity. Only then can you be sure that the error code isn't lying to you. It is my guess, that with an error message so specific, that if no burners are working, it is not the front right burner at all. Hands on testing is the only way to be sure. F152 means the right front burner has failed, the sensor in it is bad, the burner will need to be replaced.

The element is $225.00 so it is not something to change on a guess. Full testing procedure here, or call for a Service Engineer. https://www.appliancepartspros.com/answers-for-ge-element-radiant-lt-wb30t10080-ap3188020-question-148609.html ..

do an online search or if a repair shop in area order from them

Ceramic cooktops need the correct type of pots or they leave marks,check your instruction manual.

TRY SOME LUBRICATION ONCE THEY DO GUM UP YOU KNOW

if the knobs wont turn, the cooker needs to be serviced by a gas engineer the gas taps are seized they need gas tab grease

most likely the keypad is defective.

The induction cooktop will flash "F" when cookware has been removed from the surface; cookware is not present when the unit is turned on; or cookware is not centered on the element. Position the cookware properly over the center of the cooking surface if the error code "F" flashes. Use only induction cookware and use a bigger pan, as the error code "F" indicates that the pan is too small for the cooking element.

There are several helpful how-to videos on Youtube but please be aware induction hobs work on a principle different from the usual and the troubleshooting and repair is considered a specialist task - if you wouldn't poke around inside a tv or a computer then you probably shouldn't poke around inside your hob.

Yes, turn it off and get a gas tech out to check it.
