Our GE JB700SNSS range went dead. The circuit breaker didn't blow.
Before I could get time to pull the range out to test to make sure
the main supply was good, it started working again. Or so I thought.
The clock is working, but the top elements don't heat. Since the
clock is working, it's not the power. What else could the problem be
besides the control module?


P.S. On the following website link, below where it says Related Videos, and
to the right of where it says How It Works, click on "Disassembly", and then
click on the video on the right that says "GE Electric Range/Stove/Oven
Disassembly":

Thanks for the suggestions. It turns out that the problem was extremely simple. For some reason, the 240 volt outlet is
mounted on the floor. When the range was pushed back into place, it partially dislodged the plug. All I had to do was
plug it back in and reroute the cord so that it hopefully will not happen again. It must have been that way for several
years. That's scary.

As far as the clock working, apparently once leg of the plug was making contact, providing 120 to the range.

Although I saved a service call on the range, my heat pump stopped working the same day. It was 4-1/2 pounds low on R22.
