Replacement parts for GE JGP328BEC1BB \| AppliancePartsPros.com You should be able to lift the unit out of the counter cutout. There may be a double sided tape or some sort of self sticking foam gasket to seal the gaps in the installation. Once you have it out, just rotate it a few degrees and it should sit on top of the counter well enough to disassemble it. Remember to remove the burner diffusers so the top will come off without putting any stress on the aluminum gas lines. Turn off the gas at the source and throw the breaker or unplug it before working on the switches.
