1-Unplugged the old 2 burner element. 2-Plugged in the new element. 3-Elapsed time approx. 10 seconds. 4-It took longer to remove the new element from it's shipping carton than it took to remove the old & install the new.
removed 2 screws from back of control plate. (screws located inside vent intake area.) lifted control plate unplugged broken light. slipped new light through hole in control plate plugged in light then replaced control plate. Takes about 5 minutes
Simply unpluged the old cartridges and plugged in the new ones, it could not have been easier. My 18 year old cooktop looks brand new. My old cartridges were black and the new ones are stainless, but, the look is good, since most new appliances are now stainless. The best part is that it cost less than half of what a new cooktop would have cost plus all of the mess that would have been made tearing out the old one and installing a new one. Thanks PartSelect, A Very Satisfied Customer.
First of all the part arrived a day and a half after ordering which we thought was remarkable. We unplugged the griddle unit and plugged in the cartridge with two burners. It is beautiful.
The original grill didn't work well, and I needed 4 eyes to cook on. I received the new module quickly, and had it installled in 20 seconds. Immediate heat and good looks. It really transfors this old range!! Thanks!!
Lifted out and unplugged grill. Plugged in and put in place new module. I tested it right then and it worked great!
The 15-year-old Jen-Air stove started smelling really bad. I thought it was a dead animal stuck in the exhaust tube which runs under the floor to the outside. I flushed it out with clorine bleach, but it was still bad. It turned out to the be the grease filter. I washed it every week in the diswasher, but it just was not enough to get it clean enough. Finally, the grease went rancid and smelled really bad. This "repair" took about 30 seconds.
Turn off power, removed wires from switch, unscrewd lock nuts. Did the reverse to put the new switch with the exception of the the power which should always be turned off first. Took less than 5 min. to install. Wife happy!! which makes me happy.
Extremely easy. First, I turned powr off to appliance at electric panel (don't trust switches). Next, I removed the 2 screws that held the panel cover, removed the dials, and removed 2 screws at each one (total eight) - this requrid a hex screw driver bit, which I had in my handy set. I proceeded to loosen the panel, and disconnect the wires attached to the old switch (this may be tricky - mine came off easy, but did require care as to not to strip the wire from the clamp). Once the old switch was removed and the plastic housing unscrewed, I attached the new fan assembly, and connected the wires, and reinstalled everything back in the same order. (This is a good time to clean all the grease and dirt that has collected thru the years-before you put everything back). Turned the power back on, and everything worked like before. I figured I saved about 4 hours worth of labor (4x$50=$200 / minimum) plus any inflated part price I would have paid for a $20 part from PartSelect! It felt good!
I wanted to replace the grill set and the older style solid cartridge element in my cook top.
I simply removed the old cartridge by lifting it up and pulling the plug end out. I slid the new coil cartridge with the plug end in its place. The grill replacement was similar. Remove the grll grates, pull out the burner element from its plug position, remove the grill rocks and insert the new coil cartridge in its place. No tools or special skills required. It's like I now have a new cook top.
A local repair shop informed the individual that the burner unit could not be repaired and she would have to replace the cooktop..
After examining the burner unit I noticed that one of the male contact spades was burned and look deformed. After removing the spade I discovered that it had been originally manufactured incorrectly. I went on line to try and find the part. I found it at this site . I ordered 2 of the spades and replaced the deformed spade and another one that looked like it had gotten a little hot. She tried the unit and it worked perfectly. She had not used that burner unit for a very lengthy time. The investigation of the problem took a little time, but the repair went very fast. Moral is :" If a spade doesn't look right, it probably isn't", but either the individual spade or plug can be replaced. This site is now my "GO TO" place for parts.
