Repairing a GE JGS968SEK3SS Oven Ignition Switch

The GE JGS968SEK3SS is a free-standing gas oven range designed for residential use. The control panel is equipped with four separate ignition switches for each of the burners. If one of the ignition switches is defective or broken, the burner that it corresponds to will not work properly. Remove the faulty ignition switch and replace it with a new switch to restore your GE gas oven to proper working condition.
