20214 - Instructions

Removed the element and did a continuity check, the element was bad. The stove is over 25 yrs. old. Went to a local shop who usually are very good in situations like this. They could not find the part. Went on line to Part Select, found the part and verified with a phone call. Ordered and received the part the next morning and fixed the stove.

Very simple---shut off the power, removed six screws, detached five wires, replaced control switch, put everything back together, turned on power and made husband happy!!!

1. Flipped breaker and confirmed no power at cooktop.
2. Removed the Fan grille and removed the two screws holding on the control panel. It tilts up and out to the rear.
3. Unscrewed the 2 screws on top holding old switch to panel.
4. Disconnected the wiring one lead at a time and connected it to the new switch in the same spot. There are 5 wires total and I carefully used needle nose pliers to remove reluctant wires and to adjust connectors if they were loose on new switch
5. Screwed the new switch onto the panel and screwed the panel back onto the cooktop.
6. Tested new switch...worked great.

Removed top and front panel

I removed 2 screws to release the plate that held four the switces. I removed 2 screws to release the bad switch. I removed one wire at a time and connected the to the same post on the new switch, screwed the switch into place and reinsalled the mounting plate. The stove works fine.

Removed old element by removing screws from plate and removing old wires. Had to get conversion from electric store as new element was screw in and the old one was hard wired. Stripped old wires and placed on converters. Screwed the electric converter parts to the element. Screwed into oven wall.

Replaced one of the four burner control switches on my Jennair cooktop. One of the tricks I use to prevent mistakes is putting the new switch along side the existing one and swap one connector at a time over to the new switch preventing any confusion and negating any need to mark the wires. This differs from your video assistant who disconnected all the wires at once.

The part was easily installed, I will commend you on the prompt shipping as it was delivered in 3 days and 15 minutes later my oven was in working condition. Thanks, Terry

I've ordered parts from you twice now, and both times the service has been absolutely amazing!!!!!

Now, on to how I did this without fire or electrocution:

Turned off breakers.
Grabbed a beer.
Removed two screws holding in plate.
Removed electrical connectors.
Removed two screws holding switch.
Put new switch in place with screws.
Reattached connectors.
Reseated plate & screws.
Turned on power & tested.
Finished beer and felt very manly.

The hardest part was getting the plate to re-seat.

It was easy. Just remove the two screws, gently pull the housing out, remove the two wiring clips, and then reverse the process with the replacement.

It was difficult to take out the burned out part, because it was in for so long, but WD 40 helped take it out. First I unscrewed the two screws, then pulled the element out enough, so I could disconnect the wires. finelly I took the element out, put in the new one and did the same thing backwards, i.e. attached the wires, screwed in the two screws, then I tested it, and when I saw it worked, it was done.

This repair was so eazy my 18 old son repaired it.

I remove fore screwsfrom the front panel. Then remove two screws to remove the switch and removed the wire plugs then put everything back together again.

unscrewed 2 screws holding element to back of oven, disconnected connectors from element, connected new element, replaced the screws and done. if you don't trust oven controls then unplug oven/switch off circuit breaker first.

Tripped the breaker to the electrical, took out 2 screws unplugged old element, plugged in new element, replaced the 2 screws and turned electric back on.
