GE JB655SKSS 30 in 5.3 cu ft Slide-In Electric Convection Oven Stainless Steel MECH-BURNER Error Fix: Surface Burner Will Not Light or Clicks Continuously

Error code MECH-BURNER on the GE JB655SKSS 30 in 5.3 cu ft Slide-In Electric Convection Oven Stainless Steel means: Surface Burner Will Not Light or Clicks Continuously. One or more surface burners fail to ignite or the igniter clicks continuously without lighting — the most common cause is food debris or liquid spilled into the burner port area clogging the igniter spark gap; remove the burner cap and clean the igniter electrode with a toothbrush and dry cloth; if all burners click but none light, the spark module may have failed; if one burner clicks continuously even when not selected, the igniter switch for that burner is shorted (often caused by a spill); moisture can also cause continuous clicking — let components dry thoroughly after cleaning
