C101 Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

It was very simple. detached front switch panel by removing 4 screws inside top of oven door. Removed knob from old switch and removed nut holding switch to panel. Rotated switch panel to expose guts. replaced wires from old switch to new switch, screwed new switch to panel, replaced old knob. idea came from previous story at this website. Works great.

removed the wooden cutter block rt side top and the air exst.vent guard lf side then with a phileps driver 2 screws holding the control knob assm.in. both control knob assm.rt&lf come off the same way. just scraped out what that was left of the old lens stuck in new one and reatached light bulb holder. this bulb holder presses on and slides side ways to lock in place. then snaped control knob assm. back in and tighten the 2 screws. replaced vent guard & wooden cutter block. all was done.

Took the front panel off by removing 4 screws. Then remove the switch by loosing the nut hold it. Then replace the wire on the new the way they were on the old switch. Put the panel back on.

Removed old filter, dropped in the new one.
(This really was not a "repair")

This was a no-brainer: old filter out, new filter in. In addition to replacing an old, greasy filter, I found that the exhaust fan now draws cooking fumes much more efficiently. So why did I wait the 6 years since we moved into this house to do this???

I just lifted out old filter, and put in new one.

I first replaced the element and the receiver. This required splicing lines which was very easy. It still did not heat (even though my element indicator light was on) so I replaced the switch regulator. This took a little time because of the small space on my model. In fact, I had to replace a wire that had shorted by splicing a 3 inch section into it. When that was done, I simply re-connected the 5 wires in the original positions and reattached the cover. It works like a charm and my wife is delighted because we are hosting a family reunion/baby shower tomorrow!

This has been a wonderful cooktop and I could only hope todays quality is equally as good but after 25 yrs. I doubt it especially after looking at new dishwashers in the last couple of days. too sad. but these repairs were minor and no trouble. what amazed me most was ordering one afternoon and the parts were here the following day ! great service

Removed 2 screws and i nut. Unplug the old switch and plug in the new switch and presto, back in business. Extremely easy. Part was exactly as pictured. Part arrived within 2 days. Great Co. to buy parts from. Highly recommend Partsselect.

Removed the old ones and snapped on the new.
It was a snap and what a difference! Even though the cooktop is over 20 years old, it looks new again. Thanks to the knowledgeable support people at Part Select.Com we picked the right knobs the first time.

Two dials available, chose the wrong one, PartSelect paid to have the wrong ones returned and issued credit, while helping to select the correct ones. Friendly, REAL people, who absolutely sealed the deal. I'll always check here first for parts, filters, anything. Thanks PartSelect

removed cover, pulled out old switch, moved each wire from old to new switch, mounted switch, replaced cover.

First I turned off the power to the appliance. Then I took off the face plate where the switch and burner controls are mounted (took off 2 screws). Pulled the assembly out as far as wiring would allow and removed the two wires from the switch followed by removing the two nuts that hold the switch in place.
I reversed the process to install the new switch, turned the power back on and that was that.

old filter fell into from removing and cleaning,
removed cover pulled out filter ,replaced it with new one.

Followed the directions. Piece of cake!!
