September 27, 2023 from Star-K:
While GE appliances are not certified by STAR-K, we are providing this guidance as a service to consumers who may own this model.
In the course of recent STAR-K appliance lab testing, it has come to our attention that the GE Model JB258 electric oven has a serious issue with its uncertified Sabbath Mode feature. During testing, the electric heating element began to dim immediately when the oven door was opened.
HOW TO TEST:
Consumers may check whether they have this problem by conducting the following test:
WHAT TO DO IF THE ELEMENT DIMS IMMEDIATELY:
DISCLAIMER: The following solution is offered as a public service. STAR-K has not confirmed that the Sabbath Mode in these models is halachically compliant and cannot take responsibility if there are other unknown issues.
If there is no delay, the door switch must be “fooled.” Appliance stores sell heavy-duty magnets for this purpose. The oven will have either a magnetic switch or a physical plunger that needs to be overridden.
If magnetic, place the magnet on the right side of the silver plate located to the right of the self-clean handle, as shown in the photo below. (When using a magnet, put aluminum foil on the door where it contacts the magnet. Otherwise, the magnet may be pulled off when the door is opened.)
For a physical plunger, the magnet should be strong enough to hold the plunger down.
REPEAT THE TEST with the magnet in place. The element should not dim immediately when the door is opened. There should be a minimum of a 15-second delay.
PLEASE BE AWARE:
Please note this issue may also affect other similar GE models. STAR-K is still determining whether this is the case.
Before purchasing an appliance with a Sabbath Mode feature, always be sure to check that it is certified by either STAR-K or another reliable certification. One can find all brands and models certified by STAR-K by visiting our website.
If a model is not listed on our site or on the site of another reputable kashrus agency, consider it not certified and not reliable.
