All four knobs were stripped

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.

replaced grease filter

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.

my old knobs were so worn that I couldn't see the numbers

I had tried several other "universal" brands from the home improvement center but nothing worked with my Jen-Aire. I finally ordered from PartSelect and they fit perfectly! My range-top looks brand new and finding and ordering the correct parts was amazingly easy. Thanks!

Replace burnt out indicator light

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.

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.

Rear burner always high, ignored temperature setting.

Turned off breaker for range. Removed 4 phillips screws on control panel, tipped it forward and rested it on top of partially open oven door. Removed knob and nut on old switch. Moved wires, one at a time from old to new switch. Put new switch in place, tightened nut and pushed on knob. Put control panel back in place and installed 4 screws... piece of cake.
