GE JS645SLSS Repair Guide
A slide-in electric range with front controls, designed to sit flush with the countertop for a built-in look. Slide-ins are supported by the counter cutout rather than their own back panel, which makes the anti-tip bracket even more important.

Tech notes
Check the anti-tip bracket on every slide-in visit. These are frequently installed without it because the counter cutout appears to hold the range, and a tip-over with a loaded open door is a documented injury hazard.
