GE JGB645 JGB645SEKSS Range F.A.Q.

How do I perform a self-cleaning cycle on my GE JGB645SEKSS Range?

To perform a self-cleaning cycle, remove any racks and wipe away loose soil. Close the oven door and lock it if necessary. Select the self-cleaning option on the control panel and choose the desired cleaning duration. The oven will automatically lock and begin the cleaning process.

What should I do if the oven temperature seems inaccurate?

First, ensure the oven is properly calibrated. You can do this by accessing the settings menu on the control panel and adjusting the temperature calibration. If the issue persists, it might require professional service to check the thermostat.

How can I troubleshoot a burner that won't ignite?

Ensure the burner cap is properly aligned and the burner ports are clean. If the burner still doesn't ignite, check the spark ignition system and ensure the range is plugged in and the circuit breaker hasn't tripped.

What is the recommended way to clean the stovetop?

Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge. Remove the burner grates and caps, clean them with warm soapy water, and wipe the surface clean. Avoid using steel wool or harsh chemicals.

How can I prevent food from burning in the oven?

Use the correct rack position and cookware size. Monitor cooking times closely and consider using an oven thermometer to ensure accurate temperature settings. Always preheat the oven before use.

What steps should I take if the oven door doesn’t close properly?

Check for obstructions along the door gasket or hinges. If the problem persists, the door hinges might be misaligned or damaged, requiring adjustment or replacement.

Why does my GE JGB645SEKSS Range make a clicking sound when in use?

The clicking sound is normal and typically comes from the igniter system as it lights the burners. If the sound continues after ignition, check for blockages or debris on the burner.

How can I improve the energy efficiency of my range?

Keep the oven door closed as much as possible to maintain temperature. Use the appropriate size burner for your cookware and ensure the seals are intact. Regular maintenance like cleaning burners and checking for leaks can also help.

What should I do if the control panel is not responding?

First, check if the range is properly plugged in and the circuit breaker is on. If the control panel is still unresponsive, try resetting it by unplugging the range for a few minutes. If the problem persists, it may need professional repair.

Can I use aluminum foil in my GE JGB645SEKSS Range?

Yes, but with caution. Aluminum foil can be used to line the drip pans or cover the baking sheet, but do not place it directly on the oven floor as it can cause heat damage.
