We have GE XL44 (JGBP79) oven range. As my wife turned on the bake, it did not light. She tried and tried it, but it did not. It seems that lighting bulb or something is broken. She went on the Internet and found an article in http://www.fixya.com/support/t130970-ge_xl44_gas_oven of how to fix it. We found an exact same issue so that we decided to buy that part from RepairClinic.com, which was mentioned in the article. It was relatively expensive part, I thought, $64.55. It came to my house, and I started replacing it. It was easy to remove a base pan from the bottom under where there was a lighting part attached on the burner. In order to replace it, I needed to detach the burner from the bottom. It was attached with two screws at the back and one screw at the front. It was easy to unscrew it at the front, but my big problem was the two screws at the back. Two screws are just below the bottom base with about 3 X 1.5 inches window space. There was no way I could use the screw driver. I thought about 30 minutes of how to do and decided to go to Home Depot to buy a tool- a kind of a flexible extension bit. I found it called “Flex A Bit” from www.eazypower.com. I came back and started trying it again. I could remove the one screw at the top out of two but could not the bottom one. I could remove the warming tray at the very bottom and could see the bottom screw from the space where the warming tray was placed. I was very happy to see it because there was no obstacle. Only matter was that it was located at the very back. I could use the “Flex A Bit” again. Replacing the part was easy. The difficult part was to remove the burner. It ended up that I spent about 3 hours in total including my fast lunch. As I read the article, some one wrote that she paid $400 for replacement by a contractor. It seems she paid higher than it should be, but I think if I ask the contractor, at least I would need to pay like $300 for everything. If so, I would save more than $200!
GE XL44の、ガスレンジがある。妻がBakeモードで、オンにしようとしても火がつかない。火をつける所が壊れたようだ。彼女はインターネットで、直し方の記事をin http://www.fixya.com/support/t130970-ge_xl44_gas_ovenで見つける。全く同じ問題だ。早速その記事にのってたRepairClinic.comというところで、パーツを買う。ちょっと高く$64.55もする。それが来ると早速直し始める。オーブンの下側の底の板をとり、そのパーツがバーナーについていることがわかる。それを取り替えるには、バーナーをとらなくては。それは、2つのねじが後ろに、1つが前にある。前のを取るのはかんたんだが、後ろのは、ちょっと難しい。そのねじはちょうど下のパネルのところにあり、7センチX 4センチぐらいの空間があるだけ。ドライバーは使えない。30分くらい考えて、ホームデュポに行くことに。“Flex A Bit”という”くねっ”と曲がってねじが取れるのだ。(www.eazypower.com)それを買ってきて、上のねじはうまく取れたが下のが問題になる。一番下の出来た食べ物を温めておくトレイを取り出すと、したのねじが問題なく見える。”やった“という気分。その新しい道具がまた使えた。パーツを変えるのは簡単。難しいのは、バーナーをとる所。昼ごはんも含めて、3時間ほど。記事の中では、誰かさんは、人に頼んで、$400も払ったそうだ。それは、ちょっと高い気するが、もし頼んだら、やっぱり、$300位するだろう。すくなくとも$200はセーブしたわけだ!
