After the old element kicked the bucket with a final loud buzz, it was time for a new element
I turned the breaker to the appliance off in the breaker box. Took a mirror and a flashlight to figure out what type of tools I needed. Turned out all that was needed was a phillips screw driver and a pair of vicegrips as the front mounting screws were in pretty tight. Disconnected the element mounting plate, pulled the element forward just a few inches to where I could get to the wire connectors and unscrewed them. Connected the wires to the new element, pushed it back into place and refastened the front mounting plate. Turned the power back on to the oven at the breaker box and turned the oven on the check the element and it worked.
The oven on the 40 year old JennAir range stopped heating. It took more time to locate the model number D120 and conduct part/price search than the time it took to install the correct oven bake element from PartSelect! We read all the comments posted by others. We did not remove oven door. The old element had only 2 screws instead of the 3 reported by many. We followed the sequence--Power off at box; unscrew old element; pull out about 3 inches; disconnect wiring; used telescoping mirror to assist; connect wiring to new element; position new element; install 2 new screws; turn on power; turn on oven -- SUCCESS -- heating better than before. Thank you PartSelect.
I feel that the design of the indicator light, with the base attached to the bottom of the lens, is ingenious in that it eliminates the need for fasteners in that confined space, However, the plastic used for the base needs to be more flexible. Part of the base broke off in trying to force the base over the bottom of the lens. Fortunately, there was enough left on the base that I could slip it over the bottom of the lens and complete the installation.
We cleaned the rod on the stove and pushed the new knobs into place. This Jenn Air range was made in 1980. Nice to know Jenn Air is still making parts for their ranges. We also ordered new coil elements which fit perfectly size 6 inch and 8 inch.
Burner knobs were wearing out, metal rims were falling off.
Just slid off the old burner knobs, and pushed on the new ones. The most difficult part of the whole thing was just being sure that I ordered the correct knobs that used a D fitting. I ordered some a year ago that weren't the correct fitting.
took out old one and after straightening out the significant bends in the metal frame holding the screen, that were caused by shipping the screen in too flimsy of a container, I installed this into the range.
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.
Elec. stove-top knobs (imprinted with HI to LO numbers 1 to 10)worn to non-readable.
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!! :)
