My Jenn-Air is an "antique." The filter was disgusting!
I had put up with a filter that got more and more raggedy every year, but I thought my 30 yr. old range/grill top was too old for me to find an replacement filter. What a great service you offer. I found you by web-surfing, typed in the model #, and presto--you sent me the shiny new filter. All I had to do was pop it in and throw away the nasty grill (after washing the scent off to keep the bears out of my Colorado garbage.) Thank you!
Falling apart 20 year old grease filter for downdraft counter rangetop
Cleaned out the downdraft cove, inserted the new filter, and put old filter in garbage can. Laughing. Thanks. Wish you had a FAQ's hotline. I'd like to know if the radiant inserts fit the older coil-type models.
This was a range top. i removed the 12 hex machine scews holding on the top, then removed the two star screws holding the old switch. there were fore wire that had fitted on tabs. Hooked them to the new swtch and reassembeld. Easy repair since i could lift the unit out without disconnecting main cables. Replacement range would have been oveer $1000. Psrt was under $40 and delivered in a matter of days.
Loosen 2 phillip screws that secure the Jeen Air cooktop vent fan switch and remove the 2-11/32" hex head nuts that secure the fan switch. Disconnect /reconnect the 3 wires to fan switch. Replace the switch cooktop console and retighten the 2 phillip screws. Cleanup.
needed to replace indicator light after original had been broken when a pot fell and shattered the lens.
Removed the two screws holding the switch/indicator lights panel in place. After removing the two wires from the old indicator light, i removed the broken light, installed the new one, and reconnected the wires. It was then I discovered there was a spring clip that holds the indicator light in place, it had fallen into the area where the filter is kept. I had to remove the wires again, install the clip, reconnect the wires, and install the two screws holding the light panel in place. It would have been helpful to have a short description of the process included, which would have eliminated the need to remove the wires a second time to install the spring clip. The clip is essential to hold the indicator light in position and prevent it from moving.
(1) Disassembled range element cartridge unit by removing six machine screws on sides (2) Removed old element receptacle assembly (note screww attaching the clip to ring was corroded and had to be drilled out and replaced - screw not included), retaining existing element (determined it was good) (3) Fited up new element receptacle assembly and determined how far the new wires would go, cut the old wires at appropriate point (allowing for wire splice). (4) Attached new element receptacle assembly using a machine screw I found in my collection (5) Routed new wires though retaining clips, and spliced into old wires near the cartridge plug (note: be sure to use high temp splice nuts - not supplied in kit) (6) Installed old element into new receptacle and tested by measuring resistance - element resistance should be about 12 ohms, with all connections to ground reading infinity) (7) Reassembled cartrige assembly using six machine screws previously removed (note, make sure the part align properly - top inside the bottom) (8) Put the assembly back on range - worked great!
Our Jenn-Air cook top is 25 years old. One can no longer order parts for this old of model. We ordered new SS burners as well as new Burner cartridge terminal blocks for a new and current model. They work perfectly. Took 10 minutes. $ 350 dollars verses $ 2600 for a new JennAir range plus instillation. Unit looks and works great. Plan to order new switches next.
Original infinite switch on cooktop (Jenn-Air model JED8230AED)needed to be replaced
Replaced original switch with replacement sent using the part finder tool of PartSelect. Everything went fine EXCEPT the replacement switch's H1 terminal did not correspond to the original switches H1 terminal. Proper terminal connections were as follows:
Original Replacement ----------- ----------------- L1 L1 L2 L2 P P H1 HC H2 H1
If you get H1 & HC reversed, controls will work correctly for each of the two cooktop elements individually, but when used together, both will turn on/off simultaneously whenever either switch closes.
switch for burner, when turned on, would set breaker to off
Lifted stove top from counter, removed screws securing glass top, removed screws from switch housing. Removed color coded wires from old switch, one at a time, and secured them to the new switch. Put it all back together and just like new. Probably saved $200 service call.
The contact spades were burned from 10+ years of use and the cook top module was worn. I disassembled the module, taped the top to protect the creamic cook top, sanded the metal and spray painted to restore the original white finish. On the bottom half I replaced one missing pop rivet and cleaned and spray painted the bottom to restore to the original black. When the contact spades arrived, I replaced the contact spades and reassembled the module. It now works and looks like it did when it was new.
I took out the side of the cooktop that did not work. I had to take off the bottom of the cooktop and checked where electricity was going and not going. Once I found the part that needed replacing, I went on the website, search for Jen-Air cooktops and model number. From the sketch on the website, I was able to order the part needed. I decided to get 2 in order to replace both parts at one time, just in case. The part arrived quickly and was easy to install. The most time I spent was taking the backside off the cooktop and cleaning it.
