Are oven switches interchangeable?
Hello,
I have a 20+ year old GE Wall oven.
Model jkp37g0l1wg
The top oven's baking element just stopped working. I tested it and the element has proper resistance so it's not the element.
I'm assuming it's the oven switch because it's not sending power to the element, which brings me to my next question.
I took the panel off and the 2 switches look completely interchangeable...they both have the same wiring and look exactly the same. However, they have 2 different part numbers, WB22X5143 and WB22X5140.
I'd rather have the top oven than the bottom one so it's not a safety issue for the baby running around. Any idea if I can simply swap these switches out (bottom switch to top oven)? Thanks in advance.
Is this a good question?
