Parts For 30 Yr Old GE Range

Parts for 30 yr old GE range

Doc -- Monday, 13 January 2003, at 5:30 p.m.

Hi folks,

Do you have any suggestions for a dependable seller of spare parts for an old GE stove? My parents have a 1972 (ish) GE Mark 27 drop-in range (Model JM99007HT) and we're looking to replace the door lock switch (which is hooked to the self-cleaning mechanism).

Or a way to bypass the switch so the self-cleaning feature can be utilized without worring about not being able to open the oven. :)

In advance, thanks for any information!

Regards,
Jeff

The company linked below should be able to get any parts that are still available.

There are 2 switches that appear to be mounted on the door locking mechanism. One is part number WB24X131 the other is called "latch slide switch" and is # WB24X130. If you need the lock assembly, it is # WB14X5035 but doesn't appear to include the switches.

I do not recommend bypassing any safety device especially on a self cleaning range whose oven temperature can reach up to 900°F during a self clean cycle. That could be very dangerous!
