i just bought a scratch and dent GE PGS930YPFS with a broken door glass, should have been an easy enough fix.
but i ran into 2 other problems, hopefully only 1. the display board lights up, the clock shows up, and the oven lights turn on, but the touch pads non responsive.
i also found an unplugged wire thats part of the range interface harness. im hoping this is the power/control plug for the touch pad.
now the real problem is that i cant find where this stupid plug plugs in. ive spent a couple of hours on it, looking over every module and plug, but i just cant find it.
Please confirm the full model number of the range as there are 6 model variants i.e. PGS930YP1FS, -2FS, -3FS.... 6FS and whilst 4 models (-1FS, 2FS, 3FS & 5FS) are virtually the same the other two (4FS & 6FS) aren't the same as the other 4.
Looking at the mini manual for the 4 models, the 3 wire plug that you have linked, connects between the WiFi board, located on the panel manifold (see image below) and the RJ45 jack located on the back cover.
Unfortunately I cannot find the mini manual (GE part # 31-2000940) so I can't help with the other two models.
It may just be a faulty touch board. Unfortunately it is available only as a complete module comprising both the touch controls and the control board, so you may be out of luck.
Perhaps check if the cables inserted into the connectors on the board are all in OK. (see image)
Here's an image of the board used in the 4 similar models that may help - GE part # WB27X42946 (part number of board used in the other 2 models is WB27X45672)
i didnt think there was anything there, but i thought you might be on to something looking at it.
and you were. i took a close look at a new unit and that plug i have doesnt plug into anything at all. it instead clips into that square and provides an access port for i assume diagnostics.
which sets me back to square one on the control board...
ive had pretty good luck on a lot of these scratch and dent units over the years, but it looks like this one might cost me a couple of bucks to fix. i cant complain too much though, given what i paid for the unit and that it retails for 2700.
If you're going to have to replace the touch/board assembly then according to 2 parts suppliers the replacement part number is WB27X45672. (superseded part # NLA was WB27X41895)
Perhaps verify the number on yours first and then search online for the part number only to find suppliers.
I've found that looking for the part number provides more results than just looking for the appliance make and model number parts as the same part can be used in a lot of models but sellers may not know this and don't list every compatible model where it can be used.
