  • GE 36" Built-In Electric Cooktop

Q: I am considering a new cooktop and have looked for one with coils but cannot find one. I like the glasstop models but my wife is concerned it will break. Have the coil versions been discontinued and is the glasstop surface cooktops durable?

A: Do not do it. Never with BEST BUY. It took 4 months to be delivered. It will require a LICENSED and BONDED Electrician to install. The BEST BUY installers were neither. They could not even figure out how to pull the electrical breaker to the COOK TOP that they were to replace. They took my cash for the install, that never happened, and have not felt any urgency to return it to me. If you let BEST BUY install it, and the TECHS are not LICENSED and BONDED, it may invalidate your home owners insurance. Go to a reputable store. Verify the intallers credentials BEFORE making any purchase. NEVER USE BEST BUY

Q: what is the power in watt for each burner for model JP3036SLSS ( GE - 36" Built-In Electric Cooktop - Stainless steel)?

A: Thank you for connecting with us! The front left element is 1500W, the left rear element is a 120W Warming Zone. Additionally, the front right element is 2500W with Power Boil, while the right rear element is 1200W. Lastly, the center heating element is 2700W. We hope this helps and if you have any additional questions, please reach out to us. Kind regards – Matthew@GEA

Q: How hot should the "warmer" burner on the JP3036SLSS get when turned on "high?" The four regular burners function properly, but the 5th "warmer" burner seems to be too cool. What temp should the "warmer" burner be when on high? Thank you

A: Hello EJones, Thank you for reaching out. With electric cooktop burners, there is not a temperature range associated with each burner. The burner cycles on and off more or less frequently depending on the setting. On high, it cycles off much less than on low. Other factors that make it difficult to provide a temperature range include: the size of the pan, the food or liquid being cooked, the material of the pan, etc. The warmer burner is meant to provide low heat to foods that are already done and to keep them above a temperature of 140 F. We hope this information helps. Mike@GEA

Q: what is the cutout dimension the ge model jp3030dwb3, by cutout dimension i mean cabinet cutout.

A: This model has a Cutout Depth of 19-5/8” and a Cutout Width of 28-1/2”. For more information, see the Cutout Dimensions section on page 4 of the Installation Instructions, which can be viewed at the bottom of the Features tab on the product page of the Best Buy website.

Q: It says the controls are analog. What does that mean

A: It's a physical knob and dial you have to physically turn to turn on and off and adjust the cooking temps is the best way I can describe it.

Q: Do you have to use the top and bottom stainless steel pieces? I want the stainless steel knobs, but not something else to have to clean around on the top and bottom.

A: We are replacing the glass cooktop because of chips on the edges. We will definitely install with the metal strips because that is what tends to break. Of course it is your choice, i thought my experience might help… I

Q: Does this store have installers for the cooktop?

A: Please enter your zip code on Best Buy's product page for this model to check for the availability of installation services in your area. You can also call Best Buy at 888-237-8289 for assistance with delivery and installation.

Q: Is this stovetop a down draft?

A: This is not a downdraft cooktop.

    Looks nice, but that's about it!

    Looks nice, but that's about it! At first, this cooktop looked great, but the problems started after about 90 days. Within 5 months, I’ve had two issues: 1. Hot surface light stuck on – The top right burner’s hot surface sensor is broken. The light stays on even when the burner is cool. The only workaround is placing an ice pack on it for 20 minutes until the light finally shuts off. Annoying, but manageable. 2. Burner stuck on high – The top left large burner recently started staying on high, no matter what setting I choose. This is a serious problem. I’m now waiting for GE to come out and service the cooktop. Overall, it looks good, but the reliability has been very disappointing.

    Defect

    We bought this new electric cooktop on Nov 2024 from bestbuy.com. Its installation can only scheduled at Thanksgiving Eve. It was more unfortunate that the cooktop is a defect. One of four burners does not work. The technicians said we can use this defect electric cooktop and request a replacement on-line. We are not sure if it is safe to use a defect electric appliance, but we had no choice While waiting for a replacement. We also called Best Buy for scheduling replacement. The available date for re-installment is between 7am-7pm about a week later. We took a whole day off and waited for the technicians till 8:30 pm, there was no technician showed up even gave us a call for an update. Finally, we called Best Buy Rep and were told that no one would come as it was too late. We were asked to request an installation via online again next day. It was disappointing that a new cooktop needs 3 times of installment. The 3rd installation was scheduled more than 2 weeks later. During this period, two of four burners are completely out off work. What a disaster! We had many good experience with GE products as their quality and reliability are generally very good, thus we had purchased many GE appliances without any problems nor defects, even our previous GE cooktop worked well for almost 20 years. But this GE product does meet our expectation. It is so disappointing to have such a experience during holiday season.

    Beautiful, but hard to clean

    This cook top is sleek and adds elegance to a kitchen. Tons of compliments on it. Very satisfied with its cooking ability. Boiling is slow, but once you get the hang of transferring from electric coil or gas flame to using a ceramic cook top, cooking is a breeze. I rate it strong in these areas. What I don't like: this one is very difficult to clean. It is not as responsive to cook top cleaners as one would hope. And getting rid of cook top cleaner polish smears takes forever and a day. It is not as easy to buff clean as the instructions imply. That said, it is still easier than cleaning oven pans on a gas or electric coil stove. You will need a scratch pad made for glass cook tops and you will need the scraper made for cook tops. Never let old spills and smears stay on too long. And wipe off as many spills with damp paper towel and dry BEFORE applying polish cleaner. Knobs are very hard to get back shiny. Also, cook top will scratch easily---small annoying marks that are not seen until bright light illuminates, but still. I enjoy it and would not go back to electric coil. I would go to gas, so if you can get one in gas, that is what I would recommend. This one so far, is as good as any electric on the market today. I have only had it in use about 8 months, so bear that in mind. I can not yet comment on durability. If you were to purchase this one, I recommend getting the stainless steel trim. Would be even more beautiful. Mine is black in an all-white kitchen and blends nicely. Just the right size---5 burners is really all you need.
