JDR8895AAS Jenn-Air Range - Overview

Hello Edward and thank you for writing. A common cause of igniters clicking constantly is excess moisture in the area. When you're cooking up a storm, pots boil over, sauces spill, stuff happens. This moisture can seep into the area where the igniter PS 11746068 lives and cause it to click when the stove or cooktop is off. However, sometimes one or more of your spark ignition switches PS2004067 can fail. If one of the switches breaks down while the electrical contacts are closed, the switch will send a continuous signal to the spark module, resulting in a burner that keeps sparking continuously. We hope this helps. Please contact us anytime if you require further assistance.

Hello Daryl, Thank you for the question. Here is a repair story left by a previous customer. "You will need a #2 phillips screwdriver and two open end wrenches, 1/2" and 5/8" AFTER unplugging the power cord AND turning OFF the gas feed: 1-Remove seven phillips head screws from largest rear panel, and remove panel. 2-Disconnect the gas feedline from the manifold with 5/8" open end wrench. 3-Unplug switch "set" ( 2 connectors, one inline and one spade) 4-Open top oven door and remove two hexhead/phillips screws from underside of stovetop, located on far right and far left forward corners. 5-Pull stovetop forward to unlatch from rear holddown clips on frame. 6-Lift stovetop up enough to disconnect five gas burner supply lines from control valves with 1/2" open end wrench. 7-Remove two phillips head manifold attaching screws from topside of control valves (visible after pulling off control valve knobs)...manifold is now free, remove from stove. 8-"Pop off" switches from control valves, and snap new set into place. 9-Install drip shield disks on control valve shafts. 10-Reverse procedure to reassemble stove. NOTES: 1-Remember to install drip shield disks on control valve shafts before reattaching manifold to stovetop. 2-Check all visible screws for tightness now that the covers are removed, ....you WILL find loose screws...Avoid overtightening/stripping screw holes." We hope this helps!

Hi Paul, Thank you for your question. If your burner is not igniting, check to see if there is any food debris or a grease build-up that may be clogging it. If there is nothing clogging the burner, check the wires which connect the igniter to the control module. If they are not making a solid connection, you will not get the spark needed to properly ignite the burner. If this checks out fine, you will need to check the igniter switch with harness and the spark module to see if they are working correctly. You will need to test the parts with a multi-meter. Here is a link to one of our videos on YouTube that you may use as a general reference on how to use one, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWC44fHn0As. Both of these parts should test for 120 vac. If they do not, you will need to replace them. We hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day.

Hi Jeff, Thank you for your question. If the bake element is defective, you should first do a visual check. If the element is blistered or separated, then it should be replaced. If the element appears to look normal, then turn the oven on to a bake function for a minute and then turn it off. Check the element for signs of heating and if it is still cold then it may be defective. If the lower bake element shows no visible signs of damage, you will need to test it with a multimeter for continuity. Set your multimeter to the Rx1 setting and touch the probes to the element’s terminals. The exact reading of a functional bake element varies from model to model, but almost all fall somewhere between 19 and 115 ohms of resistance. Refer to your owner’s manual to determine what reading your test should produce. If your element no longer has continuity or is damaged, you will need a replacement bake element. If the bake element is fine, you will need to check the oven temperature sensor, the electronic control board and the wiring between the parts to see which one is causing the issue. Once you have determined the part you need, please feel free to call customer service. We are open 7 days a week and anyone will be happy to assist you. We look forward to hearing from you!
