Hi! We recently got about a 10-year-old JS630DF188 model GE smooth-top electric range. we got it all set up, but the stove and oven take forever to heat up, and we don’t know why. We’ve tried resetting the breaker and that didn’t do anything. The oven took forever to heat up and said it was up to temperature, but we have to bake things twice as long as the time says. We tried just boiling water on the stove and had it on for 45 minutes and it never boiled. Any ideas at all would be helpful, thank you so much.

Sounds like you have low voltage to the Range.

You should have 220 to 240 volts across the outer two terminals on the terminal block, where your power cord hooks up to.

Do you have a multimeter to volt test it there?
