GE JGS760 / GE Profile PGS930 30-inch gas slide-in range: quick sheet

Surface ignition: each burner valve stem carries a spark switch. Turning any knob to LITE closes a switch and powers the spark module, which fires every electrode at once; clicking stops when the knob leaves LITE. Moisture from boil-overs or cleaning in these switches is the classic cause of non-stop clicking.

Oven ignition: on a Bake call the control sends 120 V through the bake igniter in series with the oven safety valve; the valve opens only once the hot igniter passes enough current. The broil burner at the oven ceiling has its own igniter on the broil side of the valve. A worn igniter can glow and still never let gas flow, so slow or failed preheat with a visible glow is usually an igniter, not the valve.

Convection: JGS760 listings describe convection bake and roast with a fan that moves burner heat. PGS930 listings describe True (European) Convection with a fan plus a third, electric heating element at the rear, and both later generations offer No Preheat Air Fry using that system. Some owners report convection and Air Fry features need the Wi-Fi connection on the later models (unconfirmed).

Control and cleaning: the electronic range control reads an RTD sensor and cycles the igniter circuit to hold temperature. Self-clean runs with the door locked by a motor and position switches; steam clean is a short low-heat cycle. GE front-control ranges offer an oven temperature adjustment of about ±35°F through the Settings / special-features menu; the key sequence depends on the control, so follow the owner's manual.
