What is true of this model and changes how you fix it
- Hardware — GE/Café product pageSlide-in (not freestanding), 4 radiant elements plus a 100W warming zone, ceramic glass cooktop, built-in Wi-Fi, No Preheat Air Fry — discontinued but still supported.
- Type — ELECTRIC slide-inA slide-in ELECTRIC range (controls at the front, no back panel, for a built-in look between cabinets). Radiant smoothtop cooktop — heats any flat pan, stays hot after use.
- Oven — electricElectric oven with convection and Air Fry on most builds. No-heat is the element or control.
- Self-clean & featuresSteam/high-heat self-clean (door locks, some smoke normal), SmartHQ Wi-Fi on smart builds. Slide-in fit means the cooktop edge overlaps the counter — a gap or sealing question is install, not a fault.
- An electric convection ovenThe oven heats with electric bake and broil elements and a convection fan, with Air Fry on most builds. A cold oven is the element or the control, and a dead range is often a tripped breaker.
- Self-cleanWipe heavy spills first to reduce smoke.
- Slide-in overlapA slide-in range is designed so the cooktop's side edges rest on the adjacent countertop for a built-in look. A gap at the back or sides is an installation matter, not a fault.
- SmartHQWi-Fi through SmartHQ on smart builds lets the range report status and allows remote start when Remote Enable is on.
- Cooktop careA ceramic glass top scratches with rough cookware and marks with sugar spills. Clean it cool with a ceramic cleaner and a non-scratch pad, and scrape burnt sugar off while hot with a razor scraper, wearing a glove.
- The warming zoneThe 100-watt warming zone keeps cooked food warm without cooking it. It heats slowly and is not for reheating, so a dish that seems to stay cool is the zone working at its low setting.
- A slide-in rangeA slide-in range sits flush with the counters, with the controls on the front. Spills that run between the range and the counter need a regular wipe so they do not burn or attract pests.
- Convection and bakingTrue convection uses a third element with a fan, so lower the recipe temperature by 25 degrees for baking and check the food sooner. A pale cake in a convection oven often means the rack is too low.
- Burners and zonesThe cooktop has radiant zones with a dual element for larger pans. A zone that will not heat should be checked by trying another zone and confirming the cooktop's lockout is off.

Exact questions
Questions that only have an answer for the GE JS760 slide-in electric range
Is my GE JS760 slide-in supposed to overlap the countertop?+
Yes — a slide-in range is designed so the cooktop's side edges rest on top of the adjacent countertop for a seamless built-in look, unlike a freestanding range with finished sides. That overlap is intentional. If there is a gap at the back or sides, it is an installation/fit issue (counter cutout depth), not a fault with the range. The cooktop and oven troubleshoot like any electric range.
Is my GE JS760 slide-in supposed to overlap the countertop?+
Yes, the cooktop edges rest on the countertop.
Why does the glass stay hot?+
A radiant top holds heat after use.
Is some smoke normal in self-clean?+
Yes, on high heat.
Where is the model label?+
Inside the oven door frame.
