Can you be more specific on the problem?

You have to replace the inner door glass. This part is not too difficult to replace yourself. Remove the door as described in the Owners manual (page 20) and put it on a flat surface with the door handle facing down. Remove the screws holding the inner liner and remove the liner. - The part number for the inner door glass is AP3188858Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for GE JBP35WB4WW | AppliancePartsPros.comGene.

Hello Gene,
Thank you very much for your quick and very informative response. I have another question about the same GE stove. Is it possible that the inner door glass cracked because the stove somehow exceeded the correct heat level during the "clean" cycle? In which case a reoccurance could or would cause the new replacement glass to crack again.
Thank you.
John Sullivan

John,
I do not think the glass broke because of the temperature. Most likely it happened just because of age or it had a micro crack.
Gene.

Hello Gene,
I've separated the inner and outer oven door sections, and removed the silver shield. That exposed a rectangular frame which retains the inner and outer glass windows. There appears to be a tab on the frame that retains the glass. Do I need to pry open this tab in order to open the glass retaining frame so that the new inner glass can placed in? Also, on reassembly, is the placement of the pieces of fibre glass insulation super critical, or should I just get them back into about where they were around the glass frame? Are those pieces of fibre glass insulation mainly to prevent or at least reduce heat transfer to the outer surface of the oven door?
Thank you very much for your help. I feel more confident, and am about to order the inner glass part from you folks.
Regards,
John Sullivan

Hi John,
You are making very common mistake - you are trying to foresee everything. Having a window pack assembly (inner door glass) in front of you would eliminate about 90% of your questions.

Hi Gene,
I've received the inner door glass assembly, and I see what you meant in your last message. I was thinking the individual broken glass pane was what I was supposed to replace. Also I thought the inner-facing pane of glass might be of a different (higher heat withstanding) grade. However, the two panes of glass in the assembly I received appear to be the same. So am I correct in thinking that that window assembly can be installed with either one side or the other facing into the oven?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
Regards,
John Sullivan
