Turned off the circuit breaker! Removed the four Phillips screws below the trim, parallel to and above the oven door; removed the trim, then the nut holding the switch (below the knob, removed). Replaced the terminal lugs one at at time from broken switch to new switch. Replaced new switch, nut, trim and screws. Pulled all four burners and replaced drip pans; replaced burners and replaced old control knobs with new knobs. A pleasure working with American made appliances designed to be repaired and not just thrown away! ( P.S.: Parts were delivered to but not for Derickson Lumber Co.) Dick Ford
Burner receptacle had malfunctioned and been removed
10 Minutes for a stove my landlord thought was not fixable (repairman had already cut the wires to the element and capped them)! The delivery person handed me the package, I got out the single tool needed, installed the part, put away the tool, cleaned my hands, and put a pot of water on the stove to boil for pasta. 10 minutes!
Well, I had to search a bit deeper in the internet to find out that the problem was not with the surface burner (which did look a bit burned out anyway) but rather with the surface burner switch (Part Number: PS336885) which must have ben damaged by the heat of the closest burner. If this problem would have been better documented (or if I would have searched more carefully) I would have saved over $40 with parts (Surface Burner Receptacle Kit) that I didn't quite need. Repairing the switch was very easy, thanks also to the available video , even though the stove used on this video (front panel) didn't quite match mine (top-back panel).
The grease filter was 20+ yrs old and the mesh was falling of the frame. I was very pleased to find this replacement filter (the first filter I received was damaged....placed a call to PartSelect and have a new one the next day). Can't beat service like that!! Thank you, June Patten
grease filter was disintegrated and burner knobs were illegaible
Installed the new filter and replaced the knobs in about a minute. Customer service helped me find the right parts for an over-35-year-old unit and the installation of them was elementary and took probably less than a minute. I am in business again, cooking for my family; and my visiting relatives can cook without guessing the temperature (previous knobs were illegible. Recommend this site without reservation. (Received the parts in about 2 days!). A real treasure of a save!
No tools were required to replace the drip bowls and knobs. I was really impressed with the speed of delivery. I ordered the parts one afternoon,and they were on my doorstep the following morning!
Simply pull off the old ones and replace with the new ones. Problem was finding the correct knobs with the double "s" shaft fitting.The item number indicated by the model number was incorrect. I saw a kit with four knobs on your web site and ordered the kit and not the recommended item. Turned out to be the right move and the knobs fir just fine.
parts were rusted away and other parts did not fit and burner did not work at all.
I just lined up the parts and put them in the burner. After a year of spending money and many hours, trying to get wrong parts to work and trying to get something that fit and didn't leave gaps, I got parts that really fit and work and were exactly like the parts they replaced! The woman I spoke to was very helpful and helped me to order the right drip pan! I got the parts very quickly and was very pleased with the woman that helped me with my order. My Jenn-Aire works and finally heats perfectly now and I am very pleased! Thank you everyone!
After a long time being without a working stovetop-an electrician friend said we needed to change a switch-it was ordered and came very quickly and installed-then it was determined that we needed a switch for the other side of the stovetop-I ordered it and got it the next day! It was a joy cooking thanksgiving dinner on a stove that worked-and I have a new friend that is interested in seeing me on a more regular basis. I know if I needed any kind of parts, I would check with partselect first ;)
Although the knobs where the correct ones, they did not fit over the stems correctly.
I used the blow torch to heat up a small screwdriver till it was red hot. I then quickly applied it to the inside of the new knobs to make the shape more accommodating to the stems size. Once I thought I had about the right size, I heated the screwdriver again and melted the inside of the knob again and quickly pressed the know on to the stem and molded the inside as best I could to the stem.So far so good. Everything is working again.
