  If the burners on your GE range aren't lighting, there are several potential causes: * Ensure the range is fully plugged into a properly grounded electrical outlet. * Check that the gas supply is connected and turned on. * Replace any blown fuses or reset tripped circuit breakers in your home. * Make sure burner parts are correctly replaced after cleaning. * Clean any clogged burner slots near the electrode or the round lighter port on the oval burner. * Lightly polish any food residue on the electrode with a nail file or sandpaper until shiny.

  If your GE Ranges oven is not clean after running a clean cycle, it could be due to improperly set oven controls. Also, if the oven was heavily soiled, it may need to self-clean again. Clean up heavy spillovers before starting the clean cycle.

  If the oven door on your GE Ranges will not open when you want to cook, it is likely locked because the temperature inside the oven has not dropped below the locking temperature. Simply allow the oven to cool down until it is below the locking temperature.

  If your GE Ranges burners do not light, ensure the electrical plug is fully inserted into a properly grounded outlet. Also, check that the gas supply is connected and turned on. A blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker could also be the cause, so replace the fuse or reset the breaker. Incorrectly replaced burner parts, clogged burner slots, or food residue on the electrode can also prevent ignition. Refer to the Care and Cleaning section for proper burner replacement and cleaning. Lightly polish the electrode tip with a nail file or sandpaper if there's food residue.

How to adjust the temperature settings on my new GE JGBS60 Ranges oven?

  Darren SmithSep 8, 2025
  If your new GE Ranges oven doesn't cook like your old one, it may be because it has a different cooking system. For the first few uses, carefully follow recipe times and temperatures, and use the rack positions recommended in the Cooking Guide. If you still think your new oven is too hot or too cold, you can adjust the temperature yourself to meet your specific cooking preference.
