Help or guidance Please for GE p7 wall oven

[kb0nes]

>with some modern self clean ovens, won't using the SC cycle fry the electronics?

If they are poorly designed maybe. Hopefully they don't place the circuit board inside the oven cavity I do know of a wall oven a friend had that failed the control board during a self-clean cycle. Hardly a fault of the electronics, that is bad design.

Electronics sure get a bad rap around moisture and heat, both of which they are fairly unaffected by as long as its not extreme. I have one poorly designed RF amplifier I kept going for years. About once a year the output transistors would get hot enough to physically unsolder themselves from the PC board!!! Even though the transistors leads exceeded 360 deg F they never failed.

Why so complicated? What was the point? Why not just a simple variable T state? Heck in my world ovens don't even have a T stat lol.

John,

 

My error. The model tag says 240, not 220.

 

By my latest count, I have about 20 washer/dryers/dishwashers in my collection, not including the stuff I use regularly in the main house, and not including ranges of one sort or the other.

 

Couldn't find the harvest gold door off the original wall oven. Doesn't mean it's not hiding somewhere in the junk heap. Unlikely that I junked it, but of course anything is possible. Probably I stuck it on the one I got the stainless door from, just a matter of finding it. I just got a bit overwhelmed counting the 20 that I did just now. Next time I'll bring a pad to record all the particulars.

Top oven baking element won’t heat.

GE P7
Automatic Oven Cleaning
Model JK2905WH
Serial # DY94672

The element as shown does not match any of the elements I see for on-line parts replacement. That part of the element that goes back behind the rear of the oven wall is not familiar.

What might be wrong ?
Who has this ?
What do I need to buy to fix this ?
Part #
Don’t want to buy a new oven just yet.

This is my girlfriend’s oven.
My girlfriend doesn’t cook much…she only has a kitchen……because it came with the house !! LOL

Hmm.

 

This house I purchased around 25 years ago has pretty much the same P7 wall oven. It's always worked fine, not that I use it much. Aside from that, I cannot figure what's wrong with the one you shared, other than it looks like someone tried to replace the heating element and then quit.
