JEC8430ADW Jenn-Air Cooktop - Instructions

Removed module replaced radiant element very easy repair.

Removed old knobs. Removed the metal insert from around the post from the old knobs with needle nose pliers. Installed new knobs. Easy fix.

I found on youtube Also we marked each wire with masking tape 1A and 1B, 2A and 2B. The wires were the same color.

One important note is you can't buy the control for the right front burner (Custom Control) by itself. This kit included both the burner, control and wiring harnesses. This is a retrofit, I am assuming a known problem with the original design. This repair requires the cooktop to be removed from counter, turned upside down, and disassembled. It comes with a 45 step instruction sheet thats pretty good. Let me point out a few things that are helpful: 1) The screws to attach the control to the switch plate are too short. These are 8/32 screws 1/4 inch long. I had to go to the hardware store and buy two screws 3/8 long and cut them, since 3/8 is too long of course. Follow directions carefully, you need to remove the bottom cover and fan to disconnect it before taking the burner box completely off. The shaft of the new control is shorted than the other controls so you need to put a "filler" in the burner nob. THey suggest you use the rubber gasket from the old switch so make sure not to throw it away. One other note, since this is a retrofit, you need a drill. You need to drill out two slots in the switch plate to mount the new burner control. Good Luck.

This was a simple replacement of a burner knob. The website had exactly what I needed, including a photograph so I was sure it was the exact match. Delivered quickly and was perfect.

I used the digital multimeter for measure the voltage in the burner and in the digital part,I saw the electric cables

I lifted off the broken handle and replaced it with a new handle. It worked.

Thanks for the previous viewer's tip, disconnect power, pushed the cook top out of the counter and used a wood block for the support. Unscrew the smooth top from the burner, remove old and plug in the new one. Connect power, test OK. Put everything back.

Took broken knob off and slid the new one on. DONE!!!

We have had this appliance for 18 months. Within one month the first knob broke. A month later, the second knob broke. We have gently been using the remaining 2 knobs for 4 burner positions until recently when the other 2 broke. I am hoping these new knobs are made better then those that came with the appliance.

First went to an appliance distrib. store.They would have to part.Was qouted a price.Wenthome and went online to partselect.com and saved 40% even with shipping.Got the part the next day!Pulled old knob off and pushed new knob on.Thank you for making it easy.

So simple -- any monkey could do it. Pull off the old knobs and push on the new.

Removed old knobs and replaced with new ones.

The part was here three days after ordering and I put it on with no tools in less than a minure.

I carefully pulled the 3 D rings that were left on the posts of the burner controllers with a pair of needle nosed pliers, made sure there was nothing on the controller posts, then put the new knobs on. Make sure there are no D rings on the oven knob posts, 2 of the knobs were fine, they just didn't have D rings in them. Partselect was great. Items were received within 2 days. I would definately recommend them.
