Could a failing Bake Element cause the GE JB655 to have symptom: Not Heating?

The bake element is a resistive load that undergoes significant thermal expansion and contraction during operation. Over time, the internal nichrome wire develops hot spots due to material fatigue, eventually melting and creating an open circuit that prevents heat generation. This is the most common failure point in electric ovens.

Could a failing Oven Control Board cause the GE JB655 to have symptom: Not Heating?

The control board utilizes electromechanical relays to switch 240V power to the heating elements. These relays can fail when the internal contacts become pitted or carbonized from repeated electrical arcing, resulting in a high-resistance connection that fails to deliver current to the elements despite the board being powered.

Could a failing Oven Temperature Sensor cause the GE JB655 to have symptom: Not Heating?

The temperature sensor is a Resistance Temperature Detector (RTD) that provides feedback to the control logic. If the internal ceramic substrate or the platinum film fails, the sensor's resistance-to-temperature curve shifts, causing the board to incorrectly detect that the oven has already reached its set temperature, thereby preventing the heating cycle from initiating.
