88168 Jenn-Air Range - Instructions

EXTREMELY simple - drop in. AND- the part cost less than half the price quoted by appliance vendor...2 years earlier !!! This site is a marvelous resource for parts one can install with minimal skill.

Pulled out old one and slipped in the new one.

Turned off breaker for range. Removed 4 phillips screws on control panel, tipped it forward and rested it on top of partially open oven door. Removed knob and nut on old switch. Moved wires, one at a time from old to new switch. Put new switch in place, tightened nut and pushed on knob. Put control panel back in place and installed 4 screws... piece of cake.

Removed what was left of the original clips. Pressed in the new clips and snapped in the themostat blub

Replaced wires from broken to new part.

Knobs sent fit the shafts, but due to molded internal stop wouldn't seat. Had to drill out the stop, and also file down the shafts a bit for knobs to seat acceptably closer to stove-top.

Pulled out the old one-couldn't find it ANYWHERE that was a comparable match except for partselect. shut off breaker to oven-put in the new one-hard to reach in due to limited space and hard to see due to sticking your head in an oven.used a mirror/flashlight to see behind element to unscrew and screw it back in.Other than space restriction and light-pretty easy. Works great! Thanks for HAVING the part!! :)

Ordered new cartridges

even though these sre washable filters it's still necessary to change them after so much time

First I turned off the circuit breaker that powered the cooktop. Then I removed downdraft grate. Took out the two screws that held the control panel. Gently pulled out the control panel and turned it so I could see the bottom of the rocker switch Next I disconnected the two wires from the bottom of the switch. Next I removed the nuts that hold the switch in place. Removed the old switch and installed the new one. Put the nuts back on. Replaced the wires. Slid the panel back in place. Put the two screws back in their holes and tightened them. Easy enough. Part was perfect replacement for the original. Thanks

took old knobs off replaced in 3 minutes

Shut off power. Removed cover held in by place by two screws in downdraft area. Removed old switch, removed lens caps from LEDs. Placed switch on posts. Fastened switch to posts using my own nylon lock nuts (not included). Forced leads onto electrical nodes on switch. Put everything back together.

Pulled old knobs off, pressed new ones on. Probably well under a minute for 6 knobs. Anyone with the IQ of a horseradish could have done it. But what was really great was the help and personality of the agent at the other end of the phone. Shipping was as promised, and the entire experience was delightful!

Turned power to stove off. Removed two screws from cover - lifted cover up and pulled switch out and disconnected wires. Put new switch in and connected wires. Made sure that it was in correct position by placing knob on to make sure off position was correct - then placed plate in position and closed - put two screws back on plate and put new knob on. Turned power back on and turned knob and burner back in operation

Ordering and installing was easy. The hardest part was getting the exact match to 20 yr. old appliance knobs. First one I ordered had wrong shaft hole, but it matched perfectly in design. Decided to reorder and just replace all four with matching new-style knobs and the correct shaft hole. Yeah. Looks great and REALLY easy to install.
