JGC8645ADS Jenn-Air Cooktop - Overview

If you have a burner that begins to constantly flick without lighting, and/or flicks while you are lighting another burner, it is likely time to order a new ignitor. Once received, we first lifted the burner support rack, then the burner cap, then unscrewed the nut holding the metal bracket that holds the ignitor in place (years ago we h ...

The previous steps allow one to lift the burner ignitor up and out of its resting hole. It will be connected to the electric wiring via a plastic connector. All one has to do is pull the wiring away from the ignitor and then push it up into the new ignitor. The plastic connector protects you from touching the live ends of the wiring. Voila!

I converted the cooktop from propane to natural gas, the parts I was told I needed were the incorrect parts. I called because I was not sure about the listed parts. I was helped over the phone but recieved the LP parts. The flame was very low, and i found the orifices I replaced were the same parts I just took out.I contacted Parts sele ...

I recommend using a nut driver with sticky tape to go the orifice holder after the venture is removed. You do not have to disassembe the stove as long as you don't drop the part. Changing the regulalor was also very easy by removing the gold nut and pulling the white pin out and flipping it over to Nat. The flat side of the pin is labeled LP or NAT. Then just screw the nut back in and tighten. The LP orifices are labeled on the side 0.65, 0.69, and 0.70 the natural gas orifces are colored black, silver , and red. It would be just as easy to go from Natural gas to LP!
